Hello,
Withdrawal method has a high failure rate. If you have never had a delayed period till-to-date, you should suspect pregnancy. You need to have either a home pregnancy test with a fresh early morning sample of urine or go for the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres to confirm/exclude pregnancy. The latter is the earlier and better method. If positive, the spotting you are experiencing could be an implantation bleed. If negative, it could mean an impending period or a breakthrough bleed. Hope this helps.
