A member asked:
What does faint brown spotting 4 days before period is due mean? i'm on birth control and had unprotected sex 26 days ago? could i be pregnant?

Depends: If you have been taking the pill regularly, you are unlikely to be pregnant. If you miss your period by 4-5 days, do a home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
