Hello Scarleteen, I hope you answer me, please.

This is not a "How pregnancy occurs?" or "Is she pregnant?" question. And yes, I have very clear what you said to me.

Just a clarification, please.

The term "decidual bleeding" that in here you use is for any vaginal bleeding that occurs in pregnancy, like what September said in this Scarleteen Board question?: http://www.scarleteen.com/forum/ultimat ... 07033.html
Decidual bleeding is a name for any bleeding during pregnancy. That means that there is no specific way that it looks like, as it can be caused by different things, and is not something that normally occurs.
And what Heather said in this answer?:
http://www.scarleteen.com/forum/ultimat ... tml#000001
Decidual bleeding is not only rare (and it is not going to involve heavy flow like that, as a pregnancy could not be sustained with that kind of flow), but even more important, that is a term for people experiencing some bleeding who are pregnant.
Or is a specific type of bleeding? like what Stephanie said in this article:
http://www.scarleteen.com/article/advic ... erstanding
There is also something called decidual bleeding, and it’s actually one of the most common causes of period-like bleeding that occurs during pregnancy.
Please Scarleteen, and thank you, I just need answers.

Hedjoss,

Many volunteers have already spent time talking to you about this topics. As Heather say in the previous thread about this same topic (you can read it here: http://www.scarleteen.com/bb/viewtopic. ... 732#p25732),
"if one is unsure if there is a pregnancy, the thing to do is to take a test or see a healthcare provider, rather than fruitlessly try to figure out what kind of bleeding is going on."

Now, we already set a limit with you around this kind of questions not because they include the words "is she pregnant?" but because these questions are about fear and anxiety. If you are interested in a conversation about how to deal with your anxiety or how to get access to resources to do it, how to make better choices for yourself and define the limits that would make you feel more comfortable about the kinds of sex you want to get involved with, then that is something that we will be more than glad to talk with you.
