Q: Pregnant????

My period came on as normal, but it was not normal. Normally my period lasts for 5-7 days, but on the 3rd day it lightened and stopped completely. That night my husband and I had sex and I started bleeding lightly for about 2 hours then it stopped. The next day the same thing happened. I only started bleeding after we had sex. It wasn't heavy like regular period bleeding. Can I be pregnant? Can someone help me?

If you've been having unprotected sex then yes, you could be pregnant. Some women continue to have period-like bleeding while they are pregnant but it is usually lighter.

It could have been implantation bleeding that you've experienced.

The only way to know for sure if you are pregnant though is to take a test.
