Posted on Wed, 1 Feb 2017

Question: Im wondering if I could be pregnant . . I had unprotected sex on the 6th of December , he didn't pull out . My first day of my last reagulr period was November 29th. I was supposed to start my period on December 29th(28 day cycle) I had a little bleeding & cramping that night . It lasted for maybe an hour or two , then on the 30th i had light spotting . In the 31st I had some light pink & brown spotting that happened on and off throughout the day . It stopped on January 1st . It never got heavy enough to fill a light day pantyliner . I've been having pregnancy symptoms . Tiredness , food aversions , craving , tingles in my breast , and my areolas or bigger, my stomach as been bloated throughout the day , but by morning it's better . I did start taking Wellbutrin xl on December 14th I'm not sure if that's an issue . And My periods are very regular , I'm light for day one & Heavy for day 2 & 3 and if there's a fourth it's just brown discharge .

Brief Answer:
There are no chances

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks fot your query.

If after unprotected intercourse you have had periods for about three days ,even thought light ,there are no chances to be pregnant.
And for more you where at the end of periods ,where chances are very very low.
All the sign and symptoms you have may be due to Wellbutrin xl and while you think that you are pregnant.
Please be calm and use any contraceptive method .
But if you want peace of mind you can take a urine pregnancy at home.

Please feel free for further questions.

The wellbutrin actually killed my appetite & it gave me more energy . So i dont think that the tiredness & my appetite increase is from the welbutrin , im also having clear discharge from my nipples? Is that from the wellbutrin?

Brief Answer:
Have a Prolactin level done

Detailed Answer:
HI dear again!

Wellbutrin doesn't cause increase levels of prolactin ,or galactorrhea (clear discharge from nipples),but you should do a a blood test to control prolactin level.
