So, my period is in about 5 days or so & I have had unprotected sex within the past few days and I'm also on birth control pills. I've did research on this color spotting & it could be the shedding of my uterus lining. I also have a cold, so I've been pretty sleepy for the last few days but I'm unsure. Can my period just be early? Does this look normal? When my period comes I get cramps, & I have not yet gotten any cramps... I'm actually pretty scared. I should have used protection.😔 Can someone please comment & help me out here. Please.
