Could Spotting Be The Symptoms Of Pregnancy Using Althea Contraceptive Pill Regularly?

Hi. I'm on my pill free week (Wednesday to Tuesday) and I just got a light bleeding (brown in color) on Friday. It's not light enough that it stained my underwear, but after that, I just see it when I wip. I just started using Althea (21 pills pack) after a month breaj of taking pills. I never missed a pill nor took any medication. I had sex on the 5th day of my pack and I am assuming that it also naturally safe that time. Am I pregnant? I haven't taken the test yet and I'm terrified.

Hello,
There is no chance of pregnancy as you are taking your pills regularly.
It is quite common to get spotting when you are on these pills and it may happen for first few cycles.It is called as breakthrough bleeding and should not be worried about.
Thanks
