Period coming when it's not due
Hi everyone, so I am 19 years old and I am on birth control and have been for about 2 or 3 years. My boyfriend and I had an accident about 3 or 4 days after my period. Which was about 2 weeks ago, and now it's like I'm on my period, but the blood is dark and not quite as heavy. My period isn't due for another 2 weeks. Could this mean I'm pregnant? When could I take a pregnancy test? I haven't messed up my birth control pills, so I'm pretty sure that that isn't the reason why my cycle has started. If anyone could give me advice on absolutely anything I would greatly appreciate it. Such as abortion, or or symptoms within 2 weeks of pregnancy, just absolutely anything. Frankly my boyfriend and I are not stable enough to bring a child into the world, as much as I would love too, that would be selfish to do to an innocent child. Thank you all so much!

Adviceman mentioned the slight possibility of a miscarriage very early on. Yes, it could possibly be miscarriage although it doesnt sound anything like one i had very early on, early enough to not have felt pregnant yet and i'd had kids before. I had a period start at a time it shouldn't have and then it continued on like a real period, not stopping. I never saw the brownish, to darkish spotting that is normal if a period is late. When they tested me, I had enough of the hormones in my body that signaled me being pregnant but the Dr. concluded that I was in the process of losing the pregnancy and wasn't likely to stop. So, I would say, its a good idea to go see your Dr. as they can confirm if you are pregnant and miscarrying. If you are so regular like clock work on your cycles, then anything that is different should be checked out, if not for anythng more than the peace of mind. Many women can not claim to ever having been totally consistant their entire life. there are times when stress or illness make a period late. Or even stranger, being around other women, like for me something regular like female classmates, or coworkers every day, will have an affect at changing my cycle. Even though I an due for a period at a certain time, My body will regulate to start at the same time as all the other women. I found out by working in a small office with 5 other women. One was unprepared and ask to borrow and pad or tampon and we all discovered we were on our period at exactly the same time.
this happens more often than not and can change the time when you have a period and is most likely the cause here. But the best way to not worry is to go in for a check up.

First we are not doctors so we cannot make any medical decisions or give medical advice. That being said I do not think your pregnant. If you are having a true period and not hemorrhaging for some reason; you can't be pregnant. The purpose of the period is to clean the womb and prepare it for a pregnancy. So you can't be pregnant and having a period at the same time.
I don't know what you mean by accident. Normally in this situation an accident would mean unprotected sex. You're on birth control so you are protected. Though even on birth control there is a .001% chance of pregnancy.
There is one possibility to consider which is way out in left field someplace. Which is you did get pregnant and you have miscarried. Even as outlandish as this may be the possibility is there which means you need to see your gynecologist and make sure there is nothing left behind.
My suggestion is call your GYN and explain what has happened. Let the doctor tell you what to do. IF the doctor wants to see you make the appointment and see the doctor. If you have miscarried it is important to makes sure nothing is left behind.
Let the doctor decide if your having a breakthrough period. Which is another possibility as they do happen, just why I don't know but I'm sure the doctor can explain it to you.
