Irregular periods: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections & hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Unprotected sex: Unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy, and all vaginal bleeding is not a period. Take a pregnancy test and see your doctor for any unusual bleeding.

Yes: Taking a pregnancy test tomorrow is fine. Best to use first morning void. Pull out method is not an effective method for birth control. Take care.
