Is Light Colored Bleeding A Symptom Of Pregnancy?

My partner and i had sex on the 8th day of her cycle(26 day), the condom split and she took the morning after pill the next day, yesterday the day before her period was due she had an amount of light coloured bleeding but today there is no sign of her period. Does this mean she is likely to be pregnant, we are both teenagers and definately not trying to conceive, should we worry?

Thankyou

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion there was no need of morning after pill as the 8 th day of cycle comes under safe period.Safe period is that part of the menstrual cycle where there is no chance of
pregnancy even with unprotected sex.But anyways as you have taken ipill the chance of pregnancy is rare.And the ipill causes hormonal imbalance leading to effect on timing and bleeding of the period.It might also cause irregular bleeding.So the bleeding might be due to ipill effect.So relax.If the period doesn't
occur even after 10-15 of expected period then do a urine pregnancy test and consult gynaecologist.Over all the chances of pregnancy are very rare.
