I had sex with my boyfriend a little while ago and he was using a condom. Around the time my period was due I got spotting. Note, I’ve been super stressed lately. Could I be pregnant?

Pregnancy is unlikely if the condom was used correctly and as long as there was no penis-vagina contact prior to the condom being rolled on. Stress can cause menstrual irregularities. However, condoms are not 100% effective. The only way to know for sure if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. Repeat the test every two weeks until you have a normal period or a positive result.

You may want to consider a longer term method of birth control like the pill or the shot. If you live near our service area, contact one of our offices for an appointment. We can run a pregnancy test and discuss your birth control options with you. If you live far away, contact the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office nearest you. Good luck!
