Brief Answer:
you are not pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query .

So you had unprotected intercourse on the last day of your periods on February and then you got your period on March.
Unless you had other episodes of unprotected intercourse, it is not possible to be pregnant form the sexual intercourse happened in February.
You are not pregnant.

It can happen to have sometimes any bloody discharge ,most if you are near your periods.

You don't need to worry.Wait and see if you will get your periods on time.


Hope it helps.
Let me know if you need further help.

Kind regards,

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

If you had sexual intercourse in March ,then there is a possibility for you to be pregnant.
If it was protected intercourse and the condom was intact ,then you don't need to worry.

You have to wait until the date of your periods.If your periods are more then 1 week late ,you should do a home pregnancy test.

Please feel free to ask if you have other questions or doubts to clarify.

Take care,

Thanks so much and yes it was unprotected sex. And my period is supposed to come on the 14th. Normally I could feel it coming. It felt like it wanted to come the other day but it didn't. Is there still a chance that I may be pregnant?

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Since the sexual intercourse was unprotected ,yes there are chances of pregnancy.

Right now there is nothing you can do .Just wait until the time when your periods are supposed to come.
If your period are late ,wait at least 1 week after and then run a home pregnancy test.
(the result will be more accurate if the test is done at least one week after the date of the periods).

I wish you all the best.
Good luck.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

Since you had unprotected intercourse in March it is possible to be pregnant but right now it is too early to know it.
You should wait until the date when your periods were supposed to come.If you don't get your periods on time ,wait few days more and do a home pregnancy test.
A pregnancy test won't be accurate until your period is due.

Take care.
