Im not sure if im pregnant or not i have both pregnancy and miscarriage symptoms.
Hi there, im 18 and 2 weeks ago i had unprotected sex with my bf. He came in me but the next day i got my period, at the ryt time.It was completely normal so I didnt bother to get the emergency contraceptive...
Its been a week since my period and for the past two days ive been cramping a lot, more than my usual period pains. My lower back is also sore and i keep getting spasms all over my back... I am a weed and cigarette smoker daily and i dnt drink but this past weeks in December ive had a couple. (it will only take 3 cups for me to get drunk anyway).
So today im bleeding again, its just as heavy as my period, I am 100% sure it is not just spotting. Ive googled the symptoms nd i have both pregnancy and miscarriage symptoms. I dont wana get a test now cos its still a bit too early.
Is there any way you can give me clarity, i feel like this isnt normal for pregnancy, do you think ive miscarried/ destryd the thing already???

We are not doctors and we should not be making any type of diagnoses. Even if we were it could not be done over the web as we cannot examine you.
From what you have written I would suggest you see a GYN as soon as possible. At 18 you are an adult now and there is no need to inform you parents of any doctors’ visit. It is also no longer possible for your parents to see any of your medical records they are totally confidential. In order for your parents or anyone else to see your medical records or speak with your doctors concerning any medical condition they must have your written permission. This is all written out under a federal law called HIPPA.
The fact that your parents’ health insurance may cover your medical expenses does not give them any right to see your medical records. I could pay your medical bills and this would not give me the right to see your medical records. So go see a doctor now, ASAP as something is not right. Preferably a GYN.
Now as to being pregnant. In order to get pregnant a woman must be fertile. Meaning her ovary has produced and emitted an egg for fertilization into the fallopian tube. In 80% of women this happens in the middle of their cycle between the 7th and 21st day. For the other 20% this can happen at any time, even during their period. So it depends on when during your cycle you are fertile.
The fact that you had your period the next day says even if you were fertile there was little chance your womb was a hospitable place for the fertilized egg to attach.
Still based on the symptoms you have written you need to see a GYN and get checked out. While you are there and since you are now an adult, talk to the doctor about birth control. You no longer need anyone's permission to have sex or to be on birth control.
Even if you do get birth control from your doctor you should, until you are in a very long term relationship, such as living with someone, make the guy wear a condom as well.

Hi dear,
It's mostly likely that since the period came, that you are not pregnant.
However the fact that you are bleeding heavier and that you are having stronger pains than usual may be pointing to abnormalitys in your cycle. For instance, heavier bleeding can be a sign of Polycystic Ovary syndrome, and the extreme higher pain levels can be a sign of Endometriosis.
Anything abnormal about your period, what is real different from your regular periods should be reported to your gynecologist. If you haven't seen one yet, depending on your circumstances, if on family insurance and you want to go through that avenue, do so. An abnormal period is not related in any way to having sex. Your parents wont know unless you tell them. Your doctor must keep any info regarding your care for anything, including female problems, confidential, it is the law. So if you can't see a family doctor, go to Planned Parenthood or the local womens clinic to be seen. This article attached goes into a little more detail and says to go see your doctor. Don't assume everythings fine. By ignoring it, problems could escalate.
