im fifteen years old and having dark brown discharge, and red blood when i wipe or use the bathroom am i preg?

firstly do not listen to the d**ks that answer these kinds of questions as a means to to bully and belittle others that are younger or more vulnerable than them. i don't think you are pregnant but then you should go and get it checked out, you can go to your local brook advisory clinic in the UK they are a voluntary organisation specially for younger people it is all confidential and they wont judge. though you are young i think you are showing signs of growing into a mature young woman who cares about her health but you need to start using another form of contraception as well as using condoms. you really don't want to get pregnant at this stage of your life if you look up the brook advisory clinic on the web you should find one in your area if not there is bound to be another well woman clinic you can go to, please go pet and put your mind at rest.

It could be implantation bleeding. It was too early to use a pregnancy test - they aren't accurate until you have missed your period.

And it is quite possible to get pregnant from pre-***

All you can do is wait for your period to arrive and maybe test again in a few weeks. Maybe in that time you can have a think about what a dangerous game you are playing.

If you are lucky enough not to be pregnant, go and get yourself on the pill and make your boyfriend use condoms the whole time.

You must go to the doctor.

Cramps and bloody discharge (brown discharge is blood- just less of and mixed with other fluids and "older" and oxidised. Think scabs? They are that colour) indicate a problem. The body is cool like that- alarm systems which help us know that we need to do something about whatever.

It may not be clear to you if the bloody discharge is coming from the vagina or the urethra (one way to tell would to target your wiping- touch only the vaginal passage area and push the paper into the folds. Remove and see) but EITHER WAY- it doesn't matter. It needs to be fixed WHATEVER it is.

I am leaning to suggesting that it sounds like you have cystitis. Cystitis is an infection of the waterworks and is excrutiatingly painful and "crampy".

But let's quickly look at the other possibilities:

1. That you are young and it is your cycle:

Yes, you are young and it may be an irregular cycle. How regular IS your cycle? I got mine on a Saturday- my 14th birthday and continued to get it every 4th Saturday thereafter (including AFTER giving birth) until about three months ago when it shifted to a Thurday. My daughter may get it once every 4 weeks or 5. Always toward the weekend but not as regular as me. And she started at 13! That is normal for her though. So- if this is ABNORMAL (and it sounds like it is as you are worried) for YOU then yes, it is not a "period".

Unless you had a very stressful time recently? Emotional and physical stress can sometimes bring on a period out of synch.

Yes, the fact that you had your period two weeks ago and are bleeding, cramping whatever COULD also be a sign of ovulation (I can sense my ovulation on the day) but it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY. Reason being that this process is not meant to make you bleed OR be painful. So- let's rule that being the cause out.

2. That you injured yourself during intercourse:

Bleeding from intercourse is rare. It can happen if penetration occurs when the woman is dry but that is unlikely to be an issue where condoms are used. These are, for the most, lubricated to prevent this being a possible cause.

3. That you are pregnant:

Yes, condoms are not a 100% effective but no- becoming pregnant is not painful. Unless you have an ectopic pregnancy. This is getting pregnant, or correctly- the egg implanting in an unusual place like the fallopian tube.

Is there a reason why you think you may be pregnant? Unless you had a burst condom or had any contact with an unprotected penis you would not really need to concern yourself with that being the reason. Also- you have had a period which, I presume, was normal until the "spotting" and cramping didn't stop as per normal?

In which case (if at ALL) you can really only be pregnant for 7 days... I was able to detect a pregnancy at 6 days so- there is every likelihood that the test would have been able to come back positive if you WERE pregnant.

Enough of this though! All this is speculation- it is imperative that you go to the doctor NOW.

Cystitis is a very distinct possibility and need NOT show symptoms on peeing. Some women experience only the hot cramping (not really anything LIKE period cramping but in the same area and so sometimes confusing) and not the pain on peeing (feels like you chilled your bladder- peeing razorblades or the urge to keep going to the loo when there is nothing to come out. Burning?)

Cystitis is a very difficult condition to treat (antibiotics rarely work first time and you can get worse from the repeated doses of them and end up with candida infections! I recommend you consult an alternative practioner as I did- I have been nigh on PERMANTLY cured) and, for me, is a distinct possibility as it is possible that intercourse can cause it- think of the germs being tranferred from other parts of your lower carriage to the inside of your urethra! Lubrication is the culprit as it sort of gets everywhere.

Of course it could be extremely bad thrush. Do you have itching or swelling? White discharge might have been present before you got your last period (and often thrush/candida gets a wee bit better DURING a period)...? This, too, could cause pain. Someone else mentioned this as a possibility.

Remember also- tampons need changing RELIGIOUSLY to prevent germs being bred and kept there in that warm delicate place. Towels at night are best.

Advice:

1. See a doctor straight away, and-

2. ALWAYS wash below BEFORE intercourse and AFTER. This is relevant for the woman (as we are the ones with the three openings so close together) but also for the chap. OK- the condom should protect you from the most of it- but you know...

But do not be scared- this is part of the course of being a woman. You are not likely to have a pregnancy gone wrong or an STD. It is likely that you need to address your hygiene and need to be treated for the result of lacking hygiene.

For example- women MUST wipe from front to back ALWAYS. We are naughty and do not usually bother, right? Also- we ought to rinse our areas with warm water, pouring it from the front (over the pubic area) and let it trickle down to the lowest part. That way you get nothing from the back making it to the front.

Sigh...

Welcome to womanhood.

And let us know how you fare at the doctors?!

PS: Good on you for having the courage to help yourself! Please consider telling your mum too- she would be in a position to help you and if I were her I'd be SO upset to think my wee girl had to suffer the pain and fear on her own!

sometimes u have to take 2 or 3 test to see if ur pregant bc 1 time it might be negative but if u get another one it might say postive that has happen to girls b4. or go to the doctor and see. u can always look up what ur symptoms are on the internet and see what it says i know i did and it says if ur pregnant u will have bleeding and cramps so u might be pregnant . there is no way u will have ur period again after 2 weeks girls dont have periods like that. Good luck

Go see a doctor straight away. Don't be embarrassed. It might just be that your periods are playing up, or else dark discharge can also mean that you have an infection. You need to make sure ASAP because candida, thrush etc all just sit there growing back up the tubes and can get past your bladder to your kidneys.

Lots of pain and no fun.

Just go get checked out, OK?

I am completely sure that this is not a sign of pregnancy. At your age your periods will still sometimes be erratic. It sounds to me like it is old blood which is coming away. Spotting is normally associated with implantation bleeding, not a constant sign of blood.

Hope this helps and stop worrying!!

Dol, first thing... NEVER, EVER let there be penetration without a condom on. Not even once!

It could be your period acting up, it could be something else. Get in to see your doctor, have a blood test done and discuss what is happening. Thats all you can do.

However, if there are big clots (the size of a nickle or bigger) then you need to see a doctor right away, whether that be an ER or getting in to see your family doc immediately.

I'm pretty sure this is not a sign of pregnancy, it's just blood, and at your age your periods probably haven't completely settled down yet. Bleeding usually means you aren't pregnant.

Perhaps you needed this little worry to make you be more vigilant about your protection! Remember, a condom isn't just to stop you from getting pregnant, it's to protect you from diseases and infections. Believe me, it will be far more embarrassing to have to go and be treated at a clinic. Be careful!

Bleeding usually means you're not pregnant, but something needs attention, so go to your GP or google the Well Woman Clinic or something like that. Don't leave it too long - do it this week.

Sounds like you're doing everything right, but remember you're very fertile at this age, and your periods are still settling down. Good Luck

This brown discharge after having your period, is the after-ness of the period.

I'm sure your not pregnant. Don't worry!!

I always always get light blood when supposely finished my period, the brown stuff is just showing you that its finishing untill next month. It's perfectly normal.
