What is menstruation

Patient's question:

On December 19th, I had my period, which lasted for five days. Then, on January 2nd, I had something similar to my period—kind of like cottage cheese, but not much, just a little. After urinating, there would be some discharge when I wiped with paper. Is this still my period? It stopped on the 6th at night, and then I had my first sexual encounter. We used a condom. Two or three hours later, we had another encounter without a condom. Could I be pregnant? I bought a pregnancy test today, and it came back negative. Can I be sure I’m not pregnant? When should my normal period be this month? Please reply, thank you!
First follow-up question: Can anyone tell me when my period should be?

Doctor's answer:

Still around the 19th, the ovulation bleeding on the 2nd was due to temporary hormonal imbalance in the body. There's no need to worry. Relax, maintain a balanced diet, and it will return to normal quickly. As you mentioned, it won't result in pregnancy.
Irregular menstruation not only affects a person's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments in daily life—consume light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
