Could Spotting After Unprotected Sex Be The Symptom Of Pregnancy?

I've missed my 7th pill(white) and 13th(light blue) completely, never took them at all. My 14th(light blue) I took really late in the evening. I've had unprotected sex 2-3 times with my boyfriend. I have 5 pills left before my placebo pills and am experiencing spotting. Could I be pregnant?

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

The spotting that you are experiencing is most likely related to the missed pills and delayed pills. That being said, the variability with which you took the pills also increases the risk that you got pregnant this cycle. While I do not think that the bleeding is related to pregnancy, you need to take a pregnancy test now, and again in one and two weeks to be sure. In the meantime, you need to use condoms until you sort this out.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
