Could She Be Pregnant As She Has Slight Spotting After Periods?

Hello. My Girlfriend friend and I had unprotected sex a week back, and on that day she was on her 2nd day of Periods. Immediately within 24hrs she took a Contraceptive Pill as we don t want pregnancy at any cost. Now, after 3-4 days since the intercourse happened, she is witnessing slight bleeding. The bleeding is unusual, it came on alternate days. Could she be pregnant? We don t want pregnancy, please help!

Hello.
If your partner has consumed an emergency contraceptive pill (your post says contraceptive pill), possibility of a pregnancy is very less.
Emergency pills do cause menstrual irregularities as a side-effect in some women- periods maybe early or late with difference in flow.
I would suggest she wait for her normal period date and then take the home pregnancy test the week after.
I understand your concern, hence would recommend you switch to a safer birth control method in the future, so you may consult a gynecologist for advice.
All the best.
