A female United States age 30-35, *arrels2003 writes:

I had unprotected sex on May 25, 2009 and I got my period expectedly on June 18, 2009. But it wasn't normal; it was very light and all of the blood was brown. Now it is July 3, 2009 and I just got my period again but now my period is normal. I'm afraid I might be pregnate and the last person I had unprotected sex with is not ready to be a father and I'm not ready to be a mother. Please help me.

You're probably not pregnant. But they have these things at the drugstore and even the grocery store...or even WalMart or Target! It's a stick that you pee on and it tells you if you are or aren't pregnant. I think they're called pregnancy tests?

It doesnt sound like you are pregnant since you've had two periods since then- both as scheduled BUT if you have doubts take a pregnancy test. It might also be a wise idea to get checked for STD's some of them can cause discharge that may be mixing with your blood and making it brown (just a guess) but like tux said- If you're not ready to be a mother, dont have sex. Ecspecially unprotected sex.

tux agony auntFirst, I will say that if you are not ready to be a mother stop having sex and more importantly stop having unprotected sex.

But beyond that and how you'd describe it, I'd say chances are that you are not... but there is a chance you might be.. the only way to tell is to take a pregnancy test and hope for the best.. After that, if you are not then take that as a lesson to why you shouldn't have sex.. If it's positive, then you'd have to deal with being pregnant.

marietomates agony auntIt is always a good idea to mark your periods down on a calendar. If you don't have one at home, try doing it on your cellphone calendar or simply write it down someplace you'll always remember. The average woman's cycle is 28 days - so that's 28 days starting from the 1st day of your last period. Your age says you're 13-15 years old, so when you're that young it's very likely your periods won't be exactly regular until a few years later.

I'm not a doctor or an expert but it does not sound like you're pregnant especially if you just got your period. My advice to you is to either take a home pregnancy test or go to Planned Parenthood and have them give you one if you're unable to obtain one yourself.

Sometimes we forget to use protection and sometimes we choose not to, but because we're women we will be the ones stuck with a baby - it will live in us for 9 months and we will be responsible for it for the next

Go to a doctor,and get yourself checked out.The brown blood could be rotten blood blood from past months releasing itself,but not as a regular period.I would get a pregnancy test and hopefully you will not pregnant.Think about your future,use condoms if you are going to have sex.If I were you,i would not have sex,you r not even 18.Take care of yourself!!
