Pregnant or weird period?

I'm 17 and sexually active, I'm not on birth control or anything. My periods normally last for 4-5 days and are reasonably heavy. I got what I think was my period because it came on the day I was due but it was bright red blood and very very light, i could've used one pad and it wouldn't have been full. It only lasted 2 days and that's it.. I've never had anything like this and I'm worried.. Could I be pregnant or just experiencing a very weird period?

ive talked to the nurses at my doctors office and they said its normal but i also talked to another nurse (not at my docs off) and she said that at 8 weeks late from last period your hormones are at the highest.  It would be the best time to test. but she also said its different for every woman. For me she said it does sound like i started my normal period. right after removal. for some it feels like it takes forever to get one. some womans bodys take time to adjust and other dont take no time at all...hope this helps...im planing on taken a pregnancy test this week or weekend because i am still yet to get my period since dec 1. its usually takes me til im about 6 to 8 weeks late from last period to find out if i am. mainly because my body hcg levels have always been kinda low til im like 2 or 3 moths prego..im hoping i am pregnant fingers crossed and baby dust to all..

My last period was december 2nd 2011. I was suppose to start on January 6th 2012. Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex on december 9th. He didn't finish inside me and it was the day i got off my period. We had unprotected sex again on january 4th two days before i was suppose to get my period. It never came. I have taken 2 pregnancy tests. They were both first response early result. I took one on saturday the 7th right after it didnt come and one early today on tuesday the 10th. They both came up negitive. My brests are swollen but not sore. I have had no signs of my period coming. What are the possibilities i could be pregnant? .

I would take a pregnancy test ladies. Actually, I'd probably take more than one. If you get inconsistent results, I'd recommend watching to see if you skip a second period.
This happened to me a few months ago. I tested a few days later and got a positive. The tests turned invalid, then negative but I continued to experience strong symptoms of pregnancy -- morning sickness, cramps, the works. Bled right when my period was due a month later but it was super-light and short again.
Went to the doctor the third month after skipping completely, thinking I was still pregnant. I am expecting, but I'm not that far along, and the ultrasound doesn't match the dates for when I "should" have ovulated with a normal cycle. We won't ever know for sure whether I was briefly pregnant and miscarried, throwing off my ovulation, or just insanely stressed/got a bad test the first time.
