I had unprotected sex about 3 weeks ago now and took Levonelle just over 24 hours after it. I never had any of the sickness, cramps or spotting that others seemed to have.

I got my period yesterday about a week early and have what I feel is my normal period pains, cramping, mood swings etc. The flow has been lighter than normal as i'm normally pretty heavy the first few days. The colour (not a great coversation topic I know) is a mix of new bright red blood to more brownish blood.

Is this normal? I've read some people who think if you have cramping and slight back pain that it could be eptopic pregnancy but I do normally get a sore lower back.

I'm confused as some people have also said they have had spotting bleeding and still turned out to be pregnant - not sure how heavy they consider that to be.

Would it be wise to do a pregnancy test after my bleeding stops or not. As i've just returned from University i'm still living with my folks so it would be difficult to do a test undetected.

Am I just worrying over nothing and being over cautious?
