Period, pill ....

[Woodpecker]

Hi sorry to pester,

I covered this in my last question but it wasn't really answered (probably my fault as I didn't focus on it!). Coming up 4 weeks ago, me and my now ex-boyfriend fooled around and he fingered me, not sure if anything was on his hands but about 5 days later, I got my period and all is fine.

The week after I started the pill to make my periods regular and for the contraceptive side as well. Can the pill take a while for it to get in sync with your cycle? I have been taking it for about 2/3 weeks and I'm meant to start my period next week. However my stomach has been a bit off, feeling acidic and had an upset stomach. Been craving bad foods and noticed that one day, there was a tiny clump of discharge that looked a bit dark BUT couple days on it's back to the normal white discharge that flows regularly. I don't know if I've had that weird feeling you get before a period but there's been no blood.

I've read countless posts about getting pregnant from being fingered but I do feel a bit anxious about it as in what if I'm the rare cases that has got pregnant from it? I think I know the answer however I feel as though I need reassurance.

Thanks for listening to me rant, I know it's silly
