I'm on the pill been spotting for week & 1/2 period not due for 3 weeks b/f & i had unprotected sex in past week could i be pregnant? please help

Maybe: Could you be pregnant? Absolutely. There is a failure rate of 1/200 on the pill when used perfectly, higher if not used perfectly. However, if you had conceived in the last week, it would be too early to have symptoms.

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very normal on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.
