Period Delay
“Hello doctor. My periods are irregular. My last periods were on 26 January, then 22 March. I had unprotected sex on 12 April, but as far as I know ejaculation did not happen inside. Since last night I started bleeding heavily with clots and severe lower abdominal pain. The bleeding is heavier than my normal periods and my pad gets soaked in around 2–3 hours. The blood is bright red with slight brown color. I want to know if this is a normal period or something serious, and whether I should take a pregnancy test.”
