Question : 9 days ago i had intercourse. For the last 4/5 days i have been having spotting/brown discharge. My period is due tomorrow. Any searches i have done seem to suggest this is implantatiob bleeding. We used a condom but im concerned i could be pregnant?

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy can occur

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Implantation bleeding usually occurs 5-6 days after the conception.
It can be implantation bleeding if the conception occurred a bit late.
Condom can fail in contraception if not used properly.
I will suggest you to wait for the periods, if delayed or scanty in flow, then you should get a urine pregnancy test done to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
