Spotting After Unprotected Sex. Taking Provera. Pregnancy Chances?
i am nervous that my girlfriend is pregnant. we had unprotected sex 3 times and i just get bad anxiety and am constantly worrying. However, she supposedly doesnt ovulate, and hasnt had a menstrual cycle in months. so her doctor prescribes her Provera . She started taking her Provera again this week and is on her 3rd-4th day of taking it, but has experienced spotting. what does this mean? can she be pregnant?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As she is not having regular periods, it is difficult to guess the period of ovulation.
Her spotting could be side effect of provera or if she conceived that could be implantation bleeding.
Let her go for blood test for pregnancy which will clarify the doubt. If test comes negative better to go for ultrasound once to find out the cause for irregular periods.
Take care
