Is Continuous Periods Sign Of Pregnancy?

Yes my fiancé and I have been having unprotected sex, (yes I know stupid) but I have never ejaculated in her, she recently had two periods with a 4 day gap in between. She has never missed one but has had these two. She is always cold, and feels sick. She also has to use the bathroom very often, is this pregnancy?

OBGYN,  's  Response
Thank you for the question and I am happy to help.

Well she could start by checking a pregnancy test. If you absolutely have not ejaculated into the vagina, and you are the only one with whom she has had intercourse, then she is not pregnant. Also, you cannot get a period and then get another period 4 days later. This is considered abnormal bleeding and probably related to some other cause than her normal cycle. Common causes of breakthrough bleeding include physiologic changes that lead to irregular or absent ovulation, or anatomic changes such as uterine polyps. Have her contact her OB/GYN for an appointment to discuss this bleeding and also to discuss birth control and pre-conception counseling if you are considering a pregnancy in the near future.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
