About a week after I have unprotected sex I thought I had my period. It looked exactly like my period and everything was the same as every other time I've had my period, but I read up on the internet it could have been implantation bleeding. I've also been having stomach cramps for a few weeks but nothing else to indicate I was pregnant. I only had unprotected sex for a few minutes and in that time the boy never came. Could I be pregnant or is it just me being paranoid about the cramps? Thanks X

Hi chazbbzx... welcome to AMHD,

Did the bleeding occur when you would normally expect your period? Are your periods usually very regular? Given what you described, it is unlikely that you are pregnant.

However, if you feel that it may be due to possible pregnancy, you could always try a pregnancy test. Anytime you have sex, no matter how long it lasted, or whether ejaculation was present, pregnancy is possible. Some situations are just more or less likely for pregnancy to result than others.

For most women, if they notice implantation bleeding at all, and most do not, it usually is light and of a short duration. Generally, it happens a bit later as well as it can take awhile before implantation occurs.

Try a test and see what results you get... or, wait until next month and see what happens when you would expect you period. In the meantime, if you decide to continue to have sex, be sure that you are protected with a condom and one other form of birth control as well.
