Vaginal discharge: menstrual blood or signs of infection? Posted: 04-04-07 09:14am
i've been having sex with my boyfriend for
the last 5 months (we're 10 months now)
and we don't use any protection but
withdrawal.. now, i'm having something
coming out of me. i don't know if it's a
discharge or a period because it's
brownish then sometimes it's reddish. the
last time my period ended was two weeks
ago and i really think it's weird if this
is a menstration because it's not yet 1
month before i get my another period. my
mom's asking me if i had sex w/ my bf and
i keep on saying no, and she said this
happened to her while she was pregnant w/
me. she keeps on having small amounts of
period and short days and when she had a
check-up, she was pregnant with me. do you
think i'm pregnant? 'cause my bf and i are
not yet ready for a child. what could be
the cause of this happening to me? is it a
discharge or a period?

Neither vaginal discharge nor spotting are
signs of pregnancy. Vaginal discharge and
spotting can be present, no matter if a
woman is pregnant, or not. The only way
you can find out if you are pregnant or
not, is to take a home pregnancy test. No
matter the result, you can visit a
gynecologist to distinguish if your
vaginal discharge, is blood or not.
