A light period doesn't automatically mean that you're pregnant. If you haven't been using condoms while on birth control, then that along with your light period can indicate pregnancy. How long have you been on birth control? I would suggest taking a home pregnancy test to see. If you haven't been on birth control very long then that might be what's causing it. Hope that helps.

Thw Whole Story...
We use condoms all the time and I have been on birth control for over a year. This was just a one time deal where he came on my back. I didn't move and he said nothing got near me but we used lotion to make him slide kinda on my butt a little smoother. I know that might be gross but it was just that. I didn't know if any got in the lotion or if it could ever survive. He wiped me all up and I didn't feel anything get in there but tha towuld be the only reason that I am worrying. I have a few of the tests, I will take one if my period is late. Do you think though, that what we did is a cause for major concern?

After being on several different types of pills and minipills, I still got pregnant with my first child and had light periods right up until I delivered, which according to my doctor, is quite normal.

I don't at at all think you're pregnant. If you're period's late then take a test. Other than that, I wouldn't worry. You can't get pregnant from ejaculation on your back.
