Hi,

According to your history the possibility of pregnancy cannot be excluded in your case as you had unprotected intercourse around the time of ovulation. The spotting you are having could be due to implantation bleeding according to the history. But premenstrual spotting can also present like this.

Also, minimal abdominal cramps can be seen in both the conditions. To come to one conclusion, please go for a blood test for pregnancy after 2 weeks of unprotected intercourse. Serum beta hCG levels after less than 5 mIU/mL excludes the possibility of pregnancy. Whereas serum beta HCG levels of more than 25 mIU/mL, confirms the possibility of pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
