Q: Could I Be Pregnant Or Is This Something Else?

Is it possible to have a period and still be pregnant?
About 4 weeks ago, I had unprotected sex twice; my fiance 'pulled out' both times. I had my period 2 weeks afterwards, but was expecting it only a week afterwards. Now, 2 weeks after that period, I am on my period once again and it is quite unusual this time. I've been experiencing a lot of lower abdominal pain and my cramps are more painful and have lasted longer than usual. I have noticed my belly increase slightly, however I have lost 5 lbs as a result of the flu that I caught a week ago. Oh and one more thing, my period is lighter and clotting this time. Could I be pregnant or could this be something else?

.Technically you can not get your period if your pregnant because you dont ovulate.
.Saying that it .I.S possible to get some bleeding when your pregnant.Its called implantation bleeding and generally occurs when your period is due.
The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two.
.It could be an early miscarriage,it's very common.It usually happens when the fetus is unhealthly and has little chance of survival.Some people have these before their period is even due and don't actually realise it is a miscarriage.If this is the case you would normally experience vaginal bleeding with blood clots and abdominal pain sometimes with severe pain in the lower back.

.Good luck with everything Smile .If the bleeding still seems strange and unusual to you,best bet is to go and see your doctor.He'll be able to say for sure.. :d

Thanks, that helps some...I guess my best bet is to see a doctor.
But I do have a question pertaining to miscarriage; what can cause it other than injury?

No worries Smile .

.Usually really early miscarriages are caused because the embryo (what becomes the fetous),has some kind of abnormality.Your body makes sure that it doesn't develop because the embryo wouldn't be able survive.
.Sometimes women have miscarriages such as this but dont realise it,they just assume it is really heavy period.

.Hope that clears it up a bit.

That makes me feel quite a lot better, lol. I was getting a little worried that I had done something wrong.
