Brief Answer:
when exactly did you have unprotected sex?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I will like to know when exactly you had sex. If this were before November 5th, then there are very little chances that you could be pregnant. Also, with the morning after pill, the chances are further reduced.

For now, treat this spotting as menses. Report the exact date to me so that we can be more certain about this though you are very unlikely to be pregnant at this time.
