Are Light Pink Spotting And Delayed Menstruation Signs Of Pregnancy?
On june 10 i got off my period (which lasted 6 days) and the next day i had sex with my boy friend. During my period i forgot to take a birth control pill. Now it s june 21 and i started spotting. Everytime i wipe it s a light pink/brown color. Could it be signs of early pregnancy or what reasons might i be spotting?

Hi,
Less likely to due to pregnancy. Implantation bleeding is thought to occur when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus.
Implantation bleeding usually occurs when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus around the time you would expect to have a menstrual period i.e., typically 10 to 14 days after conception.
Based on the history you seem to have a withdrawal or breakthrough bleeding since you have missed the birth control pills.
However, to be on safer side I advise you to have a home pregnancy test done to rule out pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
