Iv had sex about a month and a half ago and I have gotten two periods, but a week after my last period iv been getting cramps in my stomach and back, I never get cramps in my back, iv also been getting head aches and constipation around that time too. I'm also feeling really tired, but I'm always really tired. I was wondering if their could still be a chance that I'm pregnant?

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
The 'second' period that you describe could have been indicative of probable implantation bleed. The symptoms of abdominal cramps, back discomfort, headaches, constipation, increased tiredness could be few of early symptoms suggestive of pregnancy. Wait and watch for your next periods. Look out for development of any other new symptoms if pregnancy is suspected. If periods do not start within 10 days of expected period dates, or if you get abnormal periods, or if you suspect chances of pregnancy, consider visiting your doctor/gynecologist at the earliest for thorough examination (to confirm pregnancy related changes/signs in body) and blood/serum HCG level test (to confirm/rule out pregnancy accurately).
If pregnancy gets ruled out, and if you are not ready for pregnancy, but intend to remain sexually active, you should consider visiting your gynecologist to get started on suitable regular birth control measures to be protected (after your periods). Be regular with birth control use as instructed. Avoid having unprotected sexual contact if you are not ready for pregnancy. Be in regular monitoring and follow-up with your treating doctor/gynecologist and report any new/abnormal symptoms immediately. Take adequate rest. Drink plenty of water. Maintain healthy diet.
Take care.
