Well, yes, you could get pregnant that way. You can get pregnant during your period, before it, after it, any time. If you don't want to get pregnant, you need to use some type of birth control.

A pregnancy test might be a good idea.

If you're not pregnant, the bleeding is probably perfectly normal... sometimes brown bleeding is just a build up of older/dried blood. Not something to worry about.

Finally an answer!...Thanks!......I just trusted certain people who guaranteed me that it was impossible to get pregnant 5 days before and 5 days after your period...So I'm guessing this is not true!!...And about my bleeding yeah, I'm not bleeding normal, just what I mentioned earlier dark brown stains on the pad and no red....I'm not having morning sickness...so I doubt that I am pregnant...but just the fact that he DID cum inside me, has me still thinking....Thats why I was asking if, there was a chance it would be positive even with this 'period'....

There is a small chance of having light (blood) discharge during pregnancy. If it was a full period, I'd say probably not, but since it's not, there's a small small chance that you could be pregnant.

Don't freak out about it too much... but you should probably take a test. If it's been at least 2 weeks since you had sex (which I think it has) you can take a pregnancy test and it would be accurate.

Pregnant woman can have a discharge called implantation bleeding. This is when the egg burrows into the lining of the uterus. Not all women see this during pregnancy, so it's not always something to look for when trying to figure out you're pregnant.

I wouldn't listen to other people. Always have yourself protected one way or another. That way, you won't be nervous and freaking out when things like this happen. Always have a form of birth control around. I'm begging you, don't listen to other people because they sometimes have no idea what they are talking about. As a teacher, I overhear what some students think...and I'm appalled! Keep yourself protected, ok?

Good luck!

There's no way to tell this soon, but yes, you could be pregnant. Wait a while.
