Had Unprotected Sex On 13th Day Of Periods. Missed Taking Pill. Light Spotting And Cramps Seen. Pregnancy?
Hello, I have been off and on the pill for the past two years. I missed a pill about day 13 on my cycle. My boyfriend and I still had unprotected sex. I had also been taking my pills at very different times during the day. It is about a week before my expected period and I am lightly spotting and have cramps . What are the chances I could be pregnant?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As you didn't use the pill in prescribed schedule, the complete protection cannot be expected.
The symptoms you are experiencing could be withdrawal effects of the pill.
But now the possibility of the pregnancy cannot be excluded completely.
In that case the spotting you are experiencing could be implantation bleeding also.
So, you better wait till your expected date of periods and if you miss the periods, go for pregnancy test once.
Take care.
