    whats up with my period?

    Im 23 and my periods have always been pretty much perfect, they're regular (not down to the day but always roughly the same time each month) Last 3 days max before they trail off, and the only cramps get are a few twinges a few days before its due, they dont last long and arent too uncomfortable.

    I got my period yesterday evening, by my calender its a few days early, i think, but whatever no biggie. I didn't notice this at first, because it was evening and as soon as I realised it was here I used a tampon. I was quite uncomfortable taking it out four hours later, and most of the tampon was clean. I put this down to taking it out after the four hours, (because I wanted to go to bed. Usually I leave it in an hour or so longer because im on the lightest absorbancy and my periods are usually light anyway, and this has always been fine)
    When I woke up today though and went straight to the bathroom as usual, there wasnt much blood, and what was there was very watery, I also had quite a bad cramp when I woke up, which wasn't uber painful but was more than I usually get.
    I was a bit worried to use a tampon with it being a wierd period and havent worn one for the rest of the day. The rest of my period has contunued to be light but very watery still. Untill about 20 minutes ago and it seemed to be getting back to its usual thickness, which has made me feel a lot more relaxed.

    However Im just a bit panicy because when I googled my symptoms there was results from a few websites about pregnancy which scared the out of me.
    Im a virgin, but the last time I fooled around with my boyfriend was the 30th of last month. As I gave him a handjob, he briefly had his hand over mine as I was doing it (yeah Im new to handjobs). It was quite briefly that he had his hand there, but he did take it off to finger me. He didn't come untill afterwards, obviously, but im nervous incase he picked up some precum and then obviously transferred it into me.

    I know its quite unlikely that that happened, but also that it is possible, and with my period now being a bit wierd, its really making me paranoid that I could be pregnant. Also when fooling around happened, I had just finished my period and I know thats when your most fertile. That doubled with my periods always having been normal, its really got me worried.
    Like I said, my period seems to be getting back to normal consistency, and I had no cramps since this morning, so hopefully its nothing and i'll be back to normal soon.
    But I am worried, so any input would be greatfully recieved, or if anyone knows why my period was so wierd to start with?

    Phew, long post, sorry!!

    I've been there plenty of times. And it's always more worrying when you've never had sex before. But it is highly unlikely that's what happened and more likely you're just having an irregular period. Hope this settles your nerves a bit.
