I bled but only a little... could I be pregnant?
My boyfriend and I have had unprotected sex. I was due on my period last Saturday. The Thursday before I bled, but only a very little bit. I then didn't come on or bleed for a full week until the next Thursday, where I again only bled a little. Did I come on my period? I've never missed one since I've started... Could I be pregnant? I'm confused!

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Give it two weeks, and take a test.
And on to the "your cycle" speech. I should notepad this...
Sperm can survive up to a week inside your body, it's not overly likely (they have to get up into the fallopian tubes) but it is very possible.
You ovulate on the 14th day after your period (generally). This means that sex seven days after a period ends can potentially get you pregnant. This possibility pretty much continues until your period ends when you can guarantee that the egg has been flushed out. Though, because human bodies can do weird shit for strange reasons, even that's not 100%
If sperm and egg connect, the fertilized ovum must attach to the side of the uterus, which can take anywhere from 3-12 days after conception.
So, assuming that your period just ended, wait two weeks (over 12 days) and take a test. If you are pregnant from the unprotected sex that you had, two weeks from this past Thursday should be long enough for you to tell. If it's negative, you should be in the clear, and it'll only be a little while longer until your next period to be absolutely sure. If you miss another period, take another test. If that too is negative then your period is just being abnormal to freak you out.

first off you cant tell if your pregant untilla month after the sex. And it wasnt the best time in your cycle. But dont think that you can blow it off just yet. In a month or two take a test and take it from there.
