is this my period?

[Dani]

i was reading on yahoo about pregnancy symptoms, and i saw something i never knew about. it said that if you are pregnant, you could possibly experience some bleeding that you may think is your period, but isnt. it said this occurs a few days before you would expect your period normally, and is somewhat light. i just had my period (or so i hope), but it came 3 days early. mind you, it was extremely heavy the first 2 days and lasted as long as it usually does. now, up until i got it, i was sooo scared that i was pregnant, cuz the last time i had sex the condom came off and was outside my opening. my question is - was that my period? or is there a chance it was that bleeding that yahoo was talking about?

I sometimes bleed a little before my period starts and it's really light. It'll only happen for a little while and then just stop. And then around the next night it will happen again sometimes and then the next night I'll usually start my period.
And I'm definately NOT pregnant.

But anyways, from what I gather, you've had a period since the last time you had sex, so odds are, you aren't pregnant.

But, if you're worried, you can always go get a pregnancy test.

With the billions of people having sex, all sorts of exceptions are possible and have probably occurred. Your description of extremely heavy and lasting the normal time indicates you had your period and are not pregnant. The spotting that often occurs during pregnancy is very light and of short duration.
