Had Unprotected Sex. Had Brown Spotting, Cramps, Tenderness In Breasts. History Of Miscarriages. Should I Fear Complications?

The last time I had unprotected sex was October 24th. I should have had a period On the 1, but it didn't come until the 3rd. When It did happen it was very light and mostly brown. Ive had breast tenderness and cramps since around the 1st. I do have a child already but none of this occurred with her. I have also had 2 confirmed miscarriages since if that helps.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Get the pregnancy test done if you want to rule out pregnancy.
However, you have mentioned that you had periods but they were light and brown colored.
Onset of periods rules out pregnancy.
Variation in amount of menstrual flow and duration of menstrual cycles can vary in healthy menstruating females.
Breast tenderness and cramps can occur in during pre-menstrual phase.
Breast tenderness occurs under the influence of progesterone.
Progesterone is secreted just before menstrual phase.

Thanks and take care
