Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Unprotected intercourse and altered flow in the menstruation can be suggestive of pregnancy.
I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test ito cconfirm the diagnosis. If negative, then decreased blood flow during menstruation can be due to hormonal disturbances or some pathology in the uterus like tuberculosis.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
