Hello,
Your symptoms and your menstrual history suggest that you should have a pregnancy test immediately and visit an obstetrician for further advice like getting a sonogram etc. It is possible for spotting to occur during the implantation time. Withdrawal method has a 4% failure rate even if correctly practised.
Take care.
