A member asked:

My husband and i had unprotected sex on the last day of my period. i am now having a lighter more spotty period. is it possible that i'm pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yup. It happens.: While it's not likely, it happens. You could have ovulated a little earlier and conceived. Get tested! Remember that bleeding early pregnancy can be the sign for a tubal pregnancy. LGromkoMD
