I am very nervous. I should get my period around the 25th a day or 2 late or early once in a while, but instead i have this dark brown blood? Its not heavy but i need a pantyliner. Usually i have a heavy period and bad cramps but this time nothing. I am wondering if this has to do with me loosing my virginity about 3 weeks ago just after my last period. I have only had sex twice both protected but i am very very nervous. Could this mean im pregnant? Im not sure what to think!!

 Hello,
This type of variation in periods can be quite normal but would not indicate one way or another about pregnancy. You would have to take a pregnancy test to find out. These home tests are usually reliable a few days after your expected period day. If negative but you still don't get a period and worry, take another test a week later since hormone levels may be a little late rising high enough to show up.
If you are not pregnant and since you have become sexually active I would recommend a reliable birth control method you can depend on. Latex condoms work well since they also reduce your risk of sexually transmitted infections.
Best wishes.
