Question
Hi I had rough sex but it was protected but the next day I had light spotting and it turned into my period except it wasz regular but not heavy as usual now I'm afraid that I might be pregnant

Answer
Hi Klara,
If you had the spotting and then period the day after sex, it's unlikely that you're pregnant.  A pregnancy test will generally be positive 2 weeks after pregnancy occurs, so if you still think you might be pregnant 2 weeks after sex, do a pregnancy test.  I don't think pregnancy is likely.
