Do you think i should take a HPT?

Question

I had unprotected s*x with my boyfriend 12 days before my expected period. He DID NOT finish inside me(but yes i know all about pre-ejaculation having sperm)

The day of my expected period i started spotting brown and continued doing so for 9 days. It was never heavy enough for a pad or even pantie liner, it was only visible when i wiped.

I'm confused because I've been having some of my PMS symptoms (i broke out on my face, my b*****s are tender when i put pressure on them, my nipples been burning a bit and i been having a lower backache)

I did have bleeding like this before a few months ago, but the spotting starting 2 weeks after my period was late and it lasted for almost 3 weeks. and my doctor told me i probably didn't ovulate that cycle. This time the spotting started the day i was expecting my period and only lasted 9 days.

So do you think i should take a HPT? Or do you think i probably had an anovulatory cycle again?

Please no lectures on pull out is not a method of birth control. i understand that, we just got caught up in the moment and it'll never happen again.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

well its a good possibliity that you are pregnant.  The symptoms can be PMS but are also signs of pregnancy. and the spotting you experienced could have been implantation bleeding.  I experienced this with my first pregnancy.  around the time i was suposed to start my cycle i spotted very lightly for a few days.  then a few weeks later everything else kicked in.  So If i was you I would take an HPT and if that comes out neg try again in a couple more weeks if you dont start by then.  Good luck hun
