Very likely. : The timing for a cycle is not commonly that short and spotting is common. Check a pregnancy test and use a better method of birth control than pulling out and Plan B. If pregnancy test negative -very likely- repeat pregnancy test if no "normal cycle" in the next 2 weeks. And be prudent with alcohol, etc.
