1 day of period

Hey everyone,

I'm going to the GP tomorrow (read: soon) or Monday to get my blood drawn. Lately I've been feeling a bit faint, like many others, but I didn't really think much of it. But now my 'period' (if it was a period, but I think it was, because it would be a bit late for implantation bleeding if I can trust the internet) only lasted 1 day and started a day later than usual, whereas it normally lasts 4-5 days and is fairly regular since I'm on the pill. So I'm getting a bit worried..

I did switch medication (I'm taking anti-anxiety meds, but I won't go into detail about that), and they say you can sometimes experience changes from that, but, I also started my pill a week late because it ran out and I couldn't get in touch with the GP.. My boyfriend didn't cum inside, actually because of that reason, but I'm aware that it's not 100% safe. Still, I find it a bit far-fetched to be pregnant..

I've had a bit of sensitive breasts in the last week, but it could be that I'm just imagining it. The rest of the symptoms like fatigue, heartburn, and a bloated belly (but I also get that when I'm due for my period) are pretty pronounced. Well, everyone's been pretty sick lately, so I'm not sure what to make of it..

What do you guys think?

    Hi Lamamma,

    As I read your story, it could indeed go either way, and we'll just have to wait for a blood or urine test. There can definitely be sperm in pre-ejaculate, and starting the pill a week later might not help either. It's hard to predict from symptoms alone whether you're pregnant or not. Many of those symptoms can have other causes too. Even one day of period bleeding can be related to the pill.

    Stay strong while you wait.

    Hey Bertha,

    thanks for your reply! I’ve tested in the meantime, and luckily it was negative! Just wanted to let you know, since a lot of people post something and then never hear from them again... In my case, this is good news because I’m currently getting a business off the ground, so getting pregnant wasn’t really on my wish list. Although I would have kept the baby, there are too many people who have to work so hard for it! All in all, I’m really glad it’s staying at one kid for now!

    Cheers, me!
