Ovulation occurs about 14 days before the next period starts. If you had unprotected sex around the 16th of July, there is a chance that you become pregnant. Pink spotting is not a sign of pregnancy. You can take a home pregnancy test as the first diagnostic tool in confirming a pregnancy. If positive, you can follow up with your gynecologist and ask for an ultrasound confirmation of the fetus
