Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As you didn't use proper contraceptive method, the possibility of pregnancy cannot be completely ruled out.
Sometimes spotting can be seen in early pregnancy.
So, better to go for urine pregnancy test once to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.
If test gives negative result, possibly your spotting may turn into normal flow soon.
If spotting persists, please consult your gynecologist and get evaluated.
Take care.
