"Spotting":pregnant : As described, if intercourse occurred around or including Jan 30th, and you were not on oral bcp's, pregnancy is possible. If your next period is delayed, or if cramping, breast tenderness occur, obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy, at 7 days after your period is delayed.
