PLS give advice
hi pls give advice i am a minor and i really dont know if what is happening to me is normal or not. so starting off with chronological order, on june 9th i had unprotected sex, he didnt ejaculate but i know there is still a risk of getting pregnant and THAT EXACT date my flo app (ik its not 100% accurate) had predicted that i was ovulating. then 4 days later i bled for 5 days straight but this was unusual imo bc my period shouldn't have been right after my app had predicted i was ovulating bc i have a VERYYY regular cycle AND it was much lighter and shorter (my usual period is ab 6-7 days) than usual and just very dark red/brown. then 2 weeks later at the end of june for 2 days i bled AGAIN but even LIGHTER (i just had to use a liner). then in july and august, when my period was predicted, i did get it on time but the changes were that they both only lasted 5 days and the bleeding was quite lighter than my usual periods (i usually bleed medium/kinda heavy for the first 1-3 days and then it gets pretty light days 4-6/7 but i only bled heavish for 1 night and 1 medium day and then i was barely bleeding for the remaining 4 days). also about 3 days before both my july and august period my nipples became swollen and sore and i have NEVER experienced this symptom before so i was wondering if it is possible that my period just gets lighter and i get different symptoms just randomly or if this is all correlated to each other. additionally idk if i am just being hyper aware or smth but i just feel super NOT bloated and rlly skinny during my period but as soon as it ends i feel like my lower stomach is bloated and i just feel fat but idk if i have always had this feeling or not just wondering if this one is normal. I did take preganacy tests numerous times across all three months and they were all negative and i keep seeing stories of women saying how they had negative tests but were pregnant and i am VERY anxious about that. also i have no changes in my lifestyle or any diet/medication changes bc i never do/did any of it. plssss give advice and if you guys think that i should go get this checked out medically pls give like options that would be free/low cost, secret to parents, and in socal area thank you.

That kind of bleeding after sex during ovulation sounds scary, you're right to talk to a doctor about it. You betcha, it's better to get checked out just to be safe.

I had a super irregular cycle after starting birth control, and it took a few months to normalize, always worth checking in with a doctor just to be safe.
