I've been having regular unprotected sex with my boyfriend for about 2 months. About 3 weeks ago I had terrible stomach cramps, and I thought I could be pregnant as I had also noticed other signs. 2 weeks ago, I had my period as usual, and so I figured that pregnancy would be out of the question. Now, 2 weeks on, I have started having quite heavy vaginal bleeding, so much so that this morning I woke up in a patch of blood (despite wearing 2 sanitary towels during the night. The bleeding started on Friday night but was quite light so I didn't threat, I was sick on saturday morning and then the bleeding got a lot heavier. The blood is different to my normal period blood, as it is a lot redder. Can anyone suggest what this could be? My boyfriend was a virgin before he met me, and I have been tested for STI's previous to us having sex. I know you people aren't doctors, I have made an appointment, but the soonest they could fit me in was 2 weeks away, which quite frankly I think is disgusting.

 Huni i will be honest sounds like you are having/ had a misscarriage, i think you need to make an emergency appointment with your doctor this cant wait two weeks especially if you are still bleeding this heavy it could lead to complications.
I know you did not want a lecture but please use protection not just for the risk of pregnancy but for STI's and HIV just because someone says there clean does not make it true

Call NHS Direct. They should be able to advise you if it was pregnancy and miscarriage or anything like that.
Or call a different doctor.
Since you are choosing to risk pregnancy, and pregnancy is a dangerous and messy process then it could be something serious.
If you keep bleeding or feel faint then get the guy who's so keen to risk your life by getting you pregnant to give you a lift down to A and E. If you are miscarrying, hemouraging or suffering ectopic pregnancy then the least he can do is give you a lift.
Also, if you are choosing to do stupid things then that's your life and I'm not going to judge. But FFS CONDOMS!
Good Luck!! xx
