Please Read- Extremely Short Period - Women's Health Message Board

Thank you so much for reading my post!
It is so nice to hear the input of others- I really do appreciate you!
I normally have a 5 day period, but I generally flow pretty heavy until the last day.
While my period was only a day late- which it sometimes is, it only lasted two days.
The first day was a bit heavier than normal and the second day was normal- the third day, however, I had stopped.
I was concerned initially because, while my fiance and I have not had intercourse, he recently informed me that he "Maybe" put "Just the tip" inside of me.
I'm sorry- I know that is a lot of information, but I thought in order to get an accurate assessment from you you should have the whole story.
I am a virgin (well, at least I thought I was) and so I didn't realize that this had occurred.
I have taken two ClearBlue pregnancy tests, both which came up negative.
I have never had such a short cycle, though...
Is there a reason, that you can think of, that I might have such a short period?
While I have been under a bit of stress applying to Graduate Schools, lately, I have been on my period during the chaos of finals week and never experienced a shorter period.
Do you think I might be pregnant (I am so ignorant about these things...)
Thank you SO SO much!
I appreciate you!

I know you're not on the pill and I am but I still may be able to help. I generally bleed for 4 to 5 days being on the pill. Sometimes it's shorter, other times longer. I've even skipped two periods completely. No cramps, bleeding, nothing. I have not been pregnant either of these times. Our bodies do weird things sometimes and I'm feel it's pretty safe to say that you are NOT pregnant so don't freak out.... you've taken two tests and technically have never had intercourse so don't be alarmed. Be happy you got 3 days back to your normal, non-bleeding life.
