Is Spotting After Unprotected Sex A Sign Of Pregnancy?
Usually im 29 days in periods so my one period was November 29, 2013 then my last one after that was December 25 which was 26 days so my period time switched on me so I had unprotected sex December 30 while getting off my period then on January 3rd....but then I was getting tender boobs and my period wasn't coming in 26 days so I waited three more days so I was wondering could I be pregnant because I started spotting on the first day and had a heavy flow for the last four days

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Pregnancy can occur after unprotected sex.
However, onset of menstruation after unprotected sex rules out pregnancy.
If conception takes place, the endometrium is not shed as in menstrual cycle.
The endometrium remains intact in order to provide site for implantation.
Once implantation takes place, menstrual cycle is suspended for nine months.
Tender breasts usually occur under the influence of progesterone secreted during second part of menstrual cycle.
Thanks and take care
