I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I got my period on April 12th and ended up having unprotected sex on the 5th day, which was April 16th. Just to be cautious, I took a pill on April 18th, within the 72-hour window. Then on May 3rd, I started bleeding again, but it wasn't as heavy as my normal period and went on for 45 days. I had all the usual period symptoms like cramps and back pain. Now I'm not sure if that was withdrawal bleeding or if my period just came early. Todays the 20th and I still havent got my period, assuming that previous bleeding was withdrawal. Is there a chance I might be pregnant?

Why do fibroids cause heavy periods?

Uterine fibroids may put pressure against the uterine lining, which can cause more bleeding than usual. The uterus may not contract properly, which means it can't stop the bleeding. Fibroids may stimulate the growth of blood vessels, which contributes to heavier or irregular periods and spotting between periods.
