Hi I'm 16 and I'm due for my period bit instead I've been spotting. The color is a bright red. I usually get my period around every three weeks. I've only had this once before and my period came a week later than usual, but this time I'm worried cuz I am now sexually active. Could I be pregnant or is this normal?
hi,it takes a few years after menarche(beginning of menses)for the periods to regularise.this spotting in between is a common occurance when cycles are anovulatory.lots of people have anovulatory cycles in the initial years after starting periods.but pregnancy cant be ruled or confirmed until you do a urine pregnancy test for which kits are easily available in the market.all the best and take care.
