Question 1

i had sex 14 days ago. slight bleeding 10 days before period is due, not even heavy enough for a pad. can i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can be: If you and him are healthy and you had unprotected sex, you may be or will be pregnant.  Consider having a pregnancy test then be safe.  If negative, consult your gynecologist regarding an intrauterine device (IUD) or a subdermal implant which are the most effective methods to prevent an unplanned pregnancy.

Question 2

very light bleeding/spotting 10 days before period is due. unprotected sex without ejaculation 5 days before the bleeding. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: There are a lot of things that can cause irregular bleeding.  Most are not harmful or worrisome.  Pregnancy always needs to be checked for , but if not pregnant and this continues a visit to gyn and labs & ultrasound can likely give a precise answer as to why this is happening.

Question 3

can implantation bleeding begin 5 days after sex? i've had this bleeding for 4 days, 4 days before my period due so my period is due today

Accepted Answer

This doesn't: sound like bleeding from implantation. Usually there isn't any bleeding with implantation. When bleeding dose occur if might be a pink swirl in white discharge, a small rust colored drop of blood- a very scant amount. However, if you don't get your period - would recommend taking a home pregnancy test.

Question 4

i have started 5mg norestherone once  a day 3 days before period is due.on 5th tablet now but there is still some bleeding.will it stop?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal bleeding: At 46, norestherone will help to ensure that the buildup of endometrial tissue from higher production of estrogen by the ovaries is shed and does not have potential for adverse effects from the estrogen.  At 46 most women do not ovulate regularly, which makes the ovaries make more estrogen over a longer time frame (pituitary stimulation increases). The bleeding will stop.

Question 5

could implantation bleeding occur 2 days before period is due?

Accepted Answer

Less likely : Implantation occurs about a week before the period starts. 2 days is little early for implantation bleeding.

Question 6

bleeding 2 days before period is due but cervix is still high? why?

Accepted Answer

Could be normal: It's not terribly unusual to have occasional irregularity in bleeding cycles.  I wouldn't worry if this is a rare event.   I suspect your regular cycle will occur soon.

Question 7

i had a few drops of blood 4 days before period is due, is this my period or implantation bleeding?

Accepted Answer

HPT: This may just be a bit of bleeding starting early for your period.  However, if you have been sexually active - you can take home  pregnancy test.

Question 8

im on birth control and four days before period is due i started bleeding and have clumping also. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Can be normal: If you didn't miss any pills then you probably have breakthrough bleeding. If you have been on the pill for at least three months and this is happening repeatedly, then change to a different formulation, perhaps one with a higher estrogen level.

Question 9

what is the meaning for bleeding 3 days before period is due ? not on birth control and have been active ... period is always regular ....

Accepted Answer

Normal variation: Likely just a normal variation in the timing of your period.

Question 10

having light red/dark bleeding  which began 5 days before period is due and is ongoing. my breasts are extremely tender. could i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy?: Bleeding prior to a period with unprotected sex can occur with implantation of a fertilized egg, so yes, you could be pregnant.  To be sure, obtain a serum HCG (quantitative) test , especially if the bleeding continues, since pregnancy outside the uterus could be the cause. If positive see your healthcare provider for an ultrasound exam and other testing.
