I was wondering if my period only lasted two day what are the chances of me being pregnant? I have been having a lot of unprotected sex the same day my period stopped I had unprotected sex as well. I am 20 years old.

Some women will notice off bleeding early in pregnancy. Since you have been having plenty of unprotected sex, odds increase that it could be due from that... or it could just be an off period. Wait until your next period is due and see if it shows up, then test accordingly if need be.

In the meantime, whether you are trying to get pregnant, be sure you are taking care of yourself if you do become pregnant. Start taking a prenatal vitamin or multivitamin with at least 400 mcg of folic acid in it. (folic acid may help protect against certain birth defects that occur often before a woman even knows she is pregnant). Do anything else that you know would be wise... watch what you eat, drink, etc..
