I'm a 16-year-old who started my period 2 weeks ago, and it ended for about 4 days, but now it seems to be back. I've been bleeding as if it's a period for the past 3 days. I am not a virgin, but haven't had sex since June. I'm worried it could be an STD or pregnancy. Are you in any pain? How regular are your periods? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?
