If I haven’t had sex since my last period, can I be pregnant? If the last time I had sex was August 25 while on birth control and using a condom, and I bled from September 1-4 (slightly lighter and shorter than a normal period but still required tampons), and I took a pregnancy test on the 11th that was positive, then another an hour later that was negative, and then went to the doctor for a urine test an hour later that was also negative, should I still be worried about being pregnant?

I got my period on June 1st, which is a bit early for me, but only by about a week. It started out as a thick dark brown, that was pretty light, and stayed in that color range. I had a few days with bright red blood, but still very light. I am still bleeding almost 2 weeks later, but it’s a pinkish color now. I’m concerned and have been trying to schedule an appointment, but all doctors in my area aren’t scheduling appointments until months from now. I’m 23 and sexually active, but not using any contraceptives. The bleeding has been about the same flow wise minus the color changes. I’m not using any medications. Could this be implantation bleeding, a hormonal imbalance, or something else?

I started my period on the 12th, got the Depo Provera Shot on the 18th, and had sex on the 19th. I took the Plan B pill just in case, but I want to know if I am protected from pregnancy and if I can have sex without a condom safely.
