Hi,
Chances of conception increase after withdrawal of oral contraceptives. You also had sex on 14th day of your period (date of ovulation) and this was followed by spotting for next 2 periods. Spotting at first month can be implantation bleeding and continuation of the spotting in later days suggests threatened abortion. You need to diagnose possibility of pregnancy and its status by ultrasonography scan of pelvis. The treatment advised would depend on results of the scan. Please consult a gynecologist for the same.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
