Hi, I am new to this and am really confused about what's happening to my body. I got my period about a week early last month. At first I started to spot pink/brown blood and I guessed it was because of the slightly rough sex I had with my boyfriend the night before...we hadn't seen each other for a long time. Then by the evening of the next day, I was really bleeding heavy pink. After that day the bleeding started to progress like a regular period from then on - could it be the heavy bleeding was due to the "rough" nature...and the early period was due to time zone crossings that I took to see my boyfriend?
Now, this month I got my period early again..I'm usually on a 26-28 day cycle but this time I got my period at 21 days. I bled a lot (more than usual) the first and second day - and heavy cramps. I usuallly bleed the most on the second day and the bleeding gradually decreases over 6 days. However, I'm on my fourth day now and my third and fourth days were like there was no bleeding - just slight brown spotting. What could be happening? My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex only once and that was the day right after the early period I had when I visited him. Is it possible that I'm pregnant?
I don't have signs of veins on my breasts...they were very tender about a week after I had the unprotected sex....any ideas or suggestions you have are very appreciated! I've been stressed out and travelling across time zones and within the time zone in the last 2 months...so could it all just be stress? I was diagnosed with anemia in the Fall and have been taking iron pills. My periods are usually very regular...:(
Thank you so much in advance for your time...and advice...

Thank you for your reply...I'll see how next month goes and mention it to my doctor when I have a check up this week.
Thanks for your time - it helps to know I'm not alone.
