Thank you for reaching out to us about this! You certainly don't sound like an idiot. The possibility of being pregnant can be scary and it's understandable that you're feeling some anxiety about it.
If you've already started your period, it's unlikely that you're pregnant. Even though you've noticed some differences in your cycle in comparison to the past, that doesn't necessarily mean trouble! As we get older, our cycles can change, including timing, how heavy or light the flow is, and any other symptoms (cramps, headaches, fatigue, etc.) that we typically associate with our periods. Additionally, sex can also have an impact on the flow of our periods, particularly if you engaged in it fairly close to when you would normally start your period.
While taking a contraceptive pill wouldn't be helpful at this point (with the exception of Plan B the morning after sex), you can always take a pregnancy test if that would help ease your mind. They're available at most pharmacies and stores such as Target or Walmart may also have them. Depending on where you're located, you can always Google what stores in your area have them available. Taking a pregnancy test may give you a little bit of added peace surrounding the possibility of pregnancy.
I hope this helped some! Please feel free to reply to this thread or shoot me a PM if you have any other questions or would like to talk about this further.
wanderlust consumed her;
foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.
she had a gypsy soul
and a vibrant heart for the unknown.
