Ok heres the deal. I have been on birth control (the patch) for a few years now off and on because of family history of bad periods. Until recently I have been really good about keeping it on. I forgot to run to the pharmacy this past patch change date after my last period. So I was off of birth control for 2 days and then me and my boyfriend had sex for the first time ever. He withdrew before actual ejaculation but the possiblity of pre-ejaculation is of my concern. A week after we first had sex, i had a light pink bleed that turned heavier and that lasted 2 days (this was also two weeks after my last period). My periods usually last 2-3 days but its not ever early or THAT light in the beginning. Im not sure if that could be a factor as to first having sex, because it wasnt a few days afterward, it was an entire week. Since then we have used the pull out method twice in addition to this one instance. Its too early to take a PT but i have been feeling quite nauseous and everyday seems like I have a light appetite. I think this could be from stress but I want to know if I am over-anxious and if that is what is causing me to feel sick. Could the light bleeding be a cause of my tissue tearing from the first-time? Could I be pregnant and this be a sign of the egg attaching itself to the vaginal wall? Was my bleeding caused by an early period or by the tearing of the wall?

Sorry for so many questions, I just need your opinion. I will be taking a pregnancy test in the next 2 days, but until then i need some advice. Any and all advice is appreciated.

Thanks for your help. I am trying to take it easy and not over think the idea of being pregnant. My boyfriend and I are still in college and pregnancy isnt much of an option right now, so im sure my stress level has been raised a bit! I need to take a HPT, but I have to wait a few more days before it will be accurate.
