Hi, I'm 16 years old. I've just become sexually active with my boyfriend at the end of january. Not ONCE have we ever had sex without protection (just condoms, no pills)
There was a time that my boyfriend's condom slipped off half way and (me being the paranoid type) took emergency contraceptive pills about 38 hours later. I usually get my period on the 18th ot 19th of every month but it came early this time and I'm guessing that it was because i took ECP.
Also, I wanted to start using birth control pills, but the first day i used it i experienced a bad reaction so I'm going back to my clinic to get different ones.
HOWEVER, today (a week after my period ended) i start seeing brown discharge on my underwear. Its not really heavy but it looks more like very light spotting. And I'm also gonna mention that the right side of my pelvic area is aching a bit. It doesn't feel like cramps but its just aching.
I've read things _ that brown discharge could mean three things:
1) early pregnancy
2) infection/STD
3) just discharge "cleaning leftover period blood"
I DON'T think I'm pregnant, though I feel like I've been experience some symptoms like: nausia and weight gain ( but I'm guessing that its probably because of stress) so yeah, I'm confident that I'm not pregnant.
Not sure if it might be an STD or an infection.
and I'm also not sure if it is just leftover blood from a period because it came a WEEK after my period ended.
So the other possible answers of this brown discharge would probably be because I took ECP or the birth control pills messed up my body.
but if worst comes to worst, i MIGHT be pregnant.
Anyone have an idea of whats going on with me? I'm getting kind of paranoid.
