“Light period or what is it?”
Idk if I’m having early pregnancy bleeding or a light period. There’s been light pink on the tissue when I wipe. But it’s not every time there were a few blood drops in the toilet on day one, and yesterday there was a little in my underwear. I had unprotected sex last Thursday and my cycle was supposed to start on the 1st. I have light cramping in the vagina area, is this a light period, or what is it? I can’t be pregnant right it’s too soon? I’ve been having light cramping in my lower abdomen, like period cramps, and I’ve been sleepy more with headaches. No breast tenderness, or anything like that.

You could be having an early period, it would be important to check a pregnancy test 2 weeks after the unprotected sex encounter, and monitor the bleeding. If it continues to be irregular you need an exam and labs and possibly an ultrasound to investigate the cause.
