Hello Susan, I need help figuring what may be going on. I was in the bathroom and I wiped myself after urinating and noticed that there was a lot of blood on the napkin, I was suprised b/c I thought my period was long gone. My period started on the 19th of July and ended on the 24th. I noticed that it wasn't completely at standstill b/c there was a little bit of discolored blood on my panties so i started to wear panty liners since it was really a thin amount of blood i didn't think a pad was necessary. Now today (August 1st) I saw a lot of blood, it's back to being heavy as if it just started at the beg. 12 days ago. I had sex with my b/f on the 25th, the next day when my period stopped. I always wear a condom. I'm not BC pills. My sister said when you have sex right after your period sometimes it causes the blood to come back heavy, is that true? She also offered to give me some of her Yasmine BC pills to stop the blood b/c the women in my family-some of us do not have consistent periods. As for her, she had a problem once when her period lasted for a year and would not stop and it was very heavy, doctors could not do anything for her b/c they said she was healthy until one finally prescribed her BC anf it helped. She thinks that may be happening to me now, could that be it? I'm really scared that it may be pregnancy b/c only once i did not use a condom but that was on April and I would have notice if i was prgnant or not by then right? Pregnancy weight or a big stomach forming? I haven't gained any weight, it's consistence, in fact i lost a little, i'm just worried now....what do you think? I guess i have to take the strip test. Thank you.

Given what you have told me I cannot imagine you are pregnant.

But you do need to go to see a doctor. Test strips are not going to tell you what you need to know. Go see a doctor right away.

I don't like going to the doctors so I won't. I guess it's just my period acting stupid once again. Sometimes it doesn't come at all sometimes it does. What I have come to notice is that it doesn't come on time when I eat really unhealthy like I have been doing lately. I have been going back to BK and eating those big burgers that is why my period is acting up. When I eat healthy for a while it comes on time and stops on time. I don't know but not going to the doc. I don't like getting checked and touched or anything and they take too long to come up w/ an answer, who has all day! Thanks.

You could have a cyst, a miscarriage, a std - there are lots of reasons you could be bleeding. You need to get checked out and find out why you are so irregular. When things get bad it coudl be too late to do anything that would help you.

If you want to have sex- you have to get used to doctors touching your body or shouldn't be having sex. If nothing else you need to have a pap smear once a year.
