Possible pregnancy or not?
Problem/Goal**:** Prolonged menstrual bleeding and concern about possible pregnancy
Context**:**
I have always had somewhat irregular periods, but recently I have been experiencing unusually long menstrual bleeding. Last month, my period lasted for 22 days (from May 5 to May 26). After only 16 days, I started bleeding again on June 12, and I am currently on my 13th day of bleeding with no signs of it stopping yet.
I have also noticed that I am passing larger blood clots than usual. In the past, I only experienced blood clots during very heavy menstrual flow, but this time the bleeding has remained prolonged and is still moderately heavy. During the first few days, the flow was lighter, but it became heavier around days 4–7 and was accompanied by larger clots.
Another concern is that I had unprotected sex after my previous period ended. Because of this, I am worried about whether pregnancy could still be a possibility even though I am experiencing ongoing bleeding.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Is it possible to have prolonged bleeding and still be pregnant, or could this be related to a hormonal imbalance or another underlying condition? I would appreciate any insights, advice, or recommendations on what steps I should take next.
