Can someone help me in this situation? 😔

Question

I started taking the pill on the first day of my periods. I have been taking the pill now for officially 21 days.

My periods lasted for 6 days, 9-10 days AFTER my periods I had unprotected sexual intercourse over the span of 2 nights. So all up prior to having sex I had taken the pill for officially 2 weeks.

About 2 days after sex, i started experiencing spotting. But not so period-like blood, more like a light red almost dark pink colour tone.

Anyway, it hurts like hell when I try to masturbate, like the walls of my vagina are open wounds and it's just painful putting something up there!

I'm going to the doctors about it, but until then can anyone shed some light for me? I'm thinking am I pregnant? Or have something going on down there?

Answer

You started the pill on your period, so you were protected right away ( as opposed to starting the pill when you were off your period ). There's an extremely slim chance you're actually pregnant ( like less than 1% because no birth control method is perfect ), so it's waaaaaay more likely you have something going on down there. It's great you're seeing your doctor about it! Hope everything turns out alright!

Answer

It sounds more like something's going on down there and it's good you're going to the doctor. The pain you're experiencing doesn't sound like pregnancy symptoms and it's hard to tell since you haven't yet missed your period
