am i pregnant?

[sammyg0226]

i had protected sex more than a week ago(8 days) and everything went right im pretty sure, we put on protection before doing ANYTHING, there was no slipping, no tears (i believe not) and i think that because he pulled out 10 seconds before finishing and nothing dripped out or fell out until he took it off completely. and yesterday i think i got my period its like 3 days late and today is day 2 and the bleeding on day 2 appear to be lighter than usual, red, like crimson, and has some clots so i want to make sure this isnt implantation. some other factors i can add on is the stress ive had to not get pregnant and i recently got back into lifting heavy in the gym atleast 2-3 a week and eating a little better and less on some days. im just scared because i usually have heavy day 2 periods and today its the same as yesterday if anything it seems to be a little less now that its 5:40

Hi sammyg, welcome to the boards! First off I wanted to let you know under your profile's location you should NOT share your full address for safety reasons, since the boards are public despite being anonymous. I went ahead and changed it for you to something very broad, but feel free to edit it to your preference. You can just put anything from the city, country or just general location in the world.

Regarding your concern, it sounds like you two used protection properly, which when used correctly, has an almost 0 chance of pregnancy (the times people get pregnant while using a condom is almost always due to user error - as long as it was on properly, didn't slip off or tear, and the person wearing it pulled out before ejaculation, it's extremely unlikely a pregnancy could result). Given that you've been lifting heavy recently and that you are still on what sounds like a period, I don't think you should be worried. Implantation bleeding is more like spotting, not like an actual period. Sometimes we have lighter flow for different reasons - heavy exercise being one of them! - so I would just wait and make sure nothing else changes, but don't stress too much about this for now. Stress also often messes with your hormones and cycle, so it can make it worse. <3
