I'm on a 24-30day cycle.had sex on my 17th day & spotted for 5days w/ very small &brown blood.wonder if it's already my regular menses.am i pregnant?

Possibly: It's common to have changes in your menstrual cycle. However the only way to verify pregnancy is to check a pregnancy test. I would recommend checking it in 1 week and rechecking it again in another week. If you develop any severe abdominal pain go immediately to your ob/gyn to be evaluated for an ectopic pregnancy.
