Is Early Menstrual Cycle Normal After Having Unprotected Sex?
hello, I have 30 day cycles and I am pretty regular, I was due to start next period 2/13
/2016, but I started bleeding 3 days earlier and this has never happened before, I have no cramping or any pain, but it is kind of heavy and has bright red color to it , but it doesn't have any clots, it doesn't appear to look like my normal periods and I have had unprotected sex. Could this be implantation bleeding?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Early menstruation as you mentioned should not be normal & it might be implantation bleeding.
Implantation bleeding is different from your period as it is light red in colour as in your case & also last for less period of time than your normal menstrual period. But implantation bleeding is less in quantity & you are having heavy bleeding. Therefore it may be your periods as well which may have come earlier due to some hormonal disturbance
If your bleeding occurs for less period (1-2 days) it should be implantation bleeding
You should also get a pregnancy test done to confirm that you are pregnant or not. Pregnancy test could be easily done at home too. Get a pregnancy kit from market. Follow instructions on pack. Presence of 2 lines on test kit after addition of urine means you are pregnant.
Refer to a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
