    Ncgirl, as you see I posted your PM to me here. People may learn from your situation, so the boards are better for posting than PM. Also, many people do not even look at PMs, so you run the risk of your question not being answered.

    Im 21 yrs old and my period is always on time and lasts 5 days this time it came on time but it basically lasted 1 day i've been going to p every 2hrs almost and my stomach is real tight and bloated im cramping like im on my period but it just isnt there and im real exhausted
    my fiancee and i have been having unprotected sex and im not on the pill could this be a sign that im pregnant?
    thanks for any help you can give

    While it could be a sign of pregnancy, it could also just be hormonal. At the age of 21 your hormones are probably not quite leveled off. This tends to happen around the age of 25.

    So... You could have had a mild period, it could possible be stress, or you could be pregnant. The best thing to do would be to make a doctor's appointment. If you are not pregnant, and not ready to have a child, I suggest birth control.;)

    I was reading through the form and the info on implation bleeding caught my eye I staarted what Im thinking was my period right after intercourse when I went to the br I was spotting then I bleed lightly for 24 hrs then spotted for about 3 days I took a home pregnant. Test the day the spotting stopped it was negative was that 2 early to take 1

    Yes, way too early to take a test. Although some tests say that they are accurate 1 day after you miss your period, this is not necessarily so.

    If you are pregnant your body creates a hormone called hcg. It takes several weeks for the hcg to build up enough for the tests to become positive.

    Please read this about implantation bleeding.
