2 periods?
I'm sorry if this is graphic for any guy. So August 3rd I had unprotected sex with this guy but he didn't cum in me. I took plan B August 5th and started bleeding (like a period) August 9th. Then, I had protected sex with the same guy again August 28th and the 29th I started bleeding dark blood which is abnormal color for the first day of my period and lots of blood which is also abnormal. Could I be pregnant? What is the reason for having two periods in a span of two weeks? 16/F

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
I am in my fifties and over my life have seen many variations in my period, all different from my normal period, but not abnormal or to worry about.
For peace of mind, take a pregnancy test. But
I have experienced the darker blood which was present to see on toilet paper for example but never soaked a sanitary napkin as a normal flow would. It was more sticky and would stain the pad but that was it. There was no pain or discomfort otherwise. Then a week later after it stopping or maybe up to 2 weeks later, the heavier than normal flow would show up. While it might look like two periods, it was actually all of the one and the same cycle. Something, maybe stress, delayed your period so much but your body wouldn't allow it to just release and begin flowing. What little did release, did not flow out quickly like a regular period but was more thick, sticky and dark even brownish. Once your body decided to let the uterine lining go, it had been there a week or two longer and in that time had more time to grow even thicker, thats how a doctor explained it to me, the linings can be of differing thicknesses. So when you get your flow it will be heavier, needing to change pads more often and for longer. Something called gushing can happen too. It can happen during teen years when periods are more likely to be irregular or during menopause years for older women.
I experienced the uncontrollable gushing after a long delayed period. It was more than heavy. A fresh pad was soaked to its limits and clothing and chair stained after ten or fifteen minutes. I changed pads, got the same thing happening. Luckily I had read a book on menopause and what to do in this case. I am not talking about a cure for women who have this gushing sort of period each cycle...those need to be put on the pill to help regulate the bodys cycle to becoming more natural. But if you experience an occasional cycle with a much too heavy flow so you cant leave the house, remember this trick. The same area one holds a finger under the nose to prevent a sneeze has nerve endings that will respond and stop the heavy flow and bring it down to normal. You take the skin between your nose and upper lip and pinch hard and hold it between your thumb and forefinger for about 2 minutes. You may need a minute or two longer but that should do the trick.
My gyn. said that in most cases, if there is no pain in the area accompanying what you see, then likely there is nothing to worry about.
When I was your age, I also had very irregular periods, never the same time of month, some lasting 2 day and some 2 weeks, and there was nothing wrong with me. I went on to give birth to 3 healthy girls later in life.
Only if you have a heavy flow that will not stop no matter what you do or you have pain, should you get in to see the doctor immediately as it could be something serious.
If you bled a little due to tearing of skin or hymen, it would have been fresh blood not dark and brownish. Irregular and unusual periods are not a sign of being pregnant. Its a sign that no fertlized egg had a chance to implant in the lining of your uterus and thats why your period flow has started.

The whole reason why a woman has her period is because the egg has not been fertilised, so the lining breaks down and thats the menstrual cycle.
So, if you have had your period after having sex then you are definatley not pregnant.
Also, 'blood' is not actually blood in a period (sorry, my time to get graphic!) Its the lining-its thicker than normal blood.
Some people after sex have blood for a different reason due to the tearing of the hymen. Could this be it?
Anyway, if you get period pains with this blood you're having, after having sex, then you are not pregnant. It all depends if it was your period? I mean theres no harm in taking a test...
