Having Cramping, Heavy Brown Periods. Started With Birth Control. Could I Be Pregnant?
I just started my birth control about two weeks ago and on Feb 20 I had unprotected sex and he came in me then two days later.I started cramping and feeling like I was on y period. I had brown heavy. discharge for 2 days and then I ve been heavily bleeding since then and still am. Could I be pregnant or is it just the birth control messing.with me?
Birth control does have a common side effect of vaginal bleeding at times, but in a scenario similar to yours it is best to rule out pregnancy and thos should be done at least 2 weeks from the suspected date of conception or on or after the first day of a missed period using an early morning urine sample. It would be wise to rrpeat this test 2-3 times with a days gap between each test.
Once pregnancy is ruled out we can assume either contraception or infections to be the cause and will have to be further evaluated by a doctor.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
