    Could I be pregnant?
    Okay so my last period was January 17th.
    A normal period.
    Well 3 weeks later (feb 7) I had light bleeding that lasted the whole 7th & 8th. Gone by the 9th.
    It was light pinkish brownish.
    Now today, two days later I'm experiencing period like cramps. On & off.
    Could this be implantation?
    When should I test ?

    Implantation bleeding hasn't been proven, and many doctors don't believe in it. Having said that, if it is real, there's no test to determine if it is or isn't implantation bleeding.

    Wait until your period is at least 2 weeks late, then test using first morning urine. If that test is negative, wait for your next period, and if you miss it as well, test again or get a blood test done.

    If I were to guess, which is all anyone can do, it sounds more like an off period to me. Off periods can happen for many reasons, and usually happen to every woman at least once in their lives.

    Good luck.

    It would be too early to test. You aren't late and you haven't said when you had intercourse.

    Some tests say they are accurate at 19 days after sex and/or three days after a missed period but they do have a higher rate of false readings.

    And yes it's unprotected. Only using the pullout method. Which I know doesn't prevent anything.

    Do you know what we call people that use the "pullout method"?

    We call them Parents.

    Because it isn't a form of bith control... at all.

    I obviously said I know it doesn't prevent anything. We aren't trying to conceive but we aren't preventing it either. Thanks for the irrelevant comment though.

    Really... why did you bother asking if you already knew all the answers? What exactly was you expecting to hear?

    I think that outburst was completely uncalled for....you asked a question...we gave you CORRECT answers. People who have sex WITHOUT any form of birth control...are in effect actually TRYING to get pregnant.

    In the future...curb the attitude.

    Could you be pregnant, most likely, unprotected sex, equals babies at some point, so if not now, soon.

    Have you picked out baby names ? Figures where in the house, the baby will sleep ?

    But there is nothing you can do now but wait.

    You have to miss your period, and be 2 week late to start testing. Use the first urine of the day, as soon as you wake up.
