    Hi , I am on no contraception, currently waiting on my medical card. My last period was on the 28th of July, I then had unprotected sex while drunk about a week after my period, I know very stupid idea. I really regret it, Then this week I don't know if it was my period or just spotting but I only bled lightly for 2 days then completely stopped I am not due my period until the 28th this month I usually bleed for a week . I am very worried, I started getting cramps about a week and a half ago, I feel like getting sick every time I eat food . Is it too early to get a test or should I relax

    There are some tests on the market that claim to be "early detectors" - so no harm getting one if it will put your mind at ease. But be aware that if it shows up negetive - you might still want to do one on the day your period is due to be extra sure.

    On a side note - Waiting on your medical card is a poor excuse for not using contraception. The pill is not always 100% effective and any number of factors can cause it to not work properly. Also it won't protect you from STDs.

    Definitely do a test. There us such a thing as an implantation bleed but do the test first. Get one of the digital ones. They are better at early detection.

    Get a pregnancy test and get tested for STIs/STDs.

    OK OP am going to close the thread at this point.
    All of the advice without exception is pointing you towards taking a test, seeing your GP and getting tested for STDs/STIs.

    All excellent advice and all of which we urge you to listen to.
