Q: Spotting..why?

I stopped taking birth control exactly two weeks ago. Last night when I went to the bathroom there was brown spotting on my panites and it had a pinkish tint to it when I wiped (tmi, sorry!).. I have only had sex two times since my last period and a condom was used correctly and everything .. Could this mean i'm pregnant or is it just because my hormones are messed up? This is really weird..

Dont be too worried about it. Most likely its because your hormones are messed up. Getting off birth control can do some weird things to you. I dont think you would be pregnant. But if you really that scard take a pregnancy test.

I got brown spotting after my periods before I ever got on the pill. I read it's old blood or something (gross). Your body is probably just adjusting.

Mm i've been reading everywhere now that it's a sign of pregnancy.. Great ;____; guess I better get a test..

Question..... If I just got off the depo shot about a month ago, and had intercourse about 2 weeks ago, do you think it's likely that I could be pregnant? I heard that your fertility may be out of whack..Especially so soon after being off of birth control.
