How high are the chances?

I started the pill a week before I got my period. Had unprotected intercourse almost three weeks after had starting the pill. For nine days now I have been having a decent about of brown spotting. This started just two days after the two days of having unprotected sex. It is now just nine or so days before I'm supposed to have my "next period". So is this "spotting" my period, just early? I know that my hormose were going funky because of the birth control(crazy mood swings) Its way to early for a pregnancy test, but I'm wondering if the birthcontorl was already in effect, and I'm worried for nothing?!?!

Sorry just reread your post and I mixed up the numbers lol if you started the pill a week before your period was due then it's most likely breakthrough bleeding. The pill didn't have enough time to build up in your system and wasn't able to stop your period

Birth control is usually said to be effective after 4 weeks.  Sometimes women can get implantation bleeding which means that when the egg is fertilized and attached to the uterine wall it can cause a small amount of bleeding/spotting. I'm not saying that you are pregnant BUT to answer your question yes it is possible that you could be pregnant since you were not on birth control for very long when you had unprotected sex. I would definitely take a pregnancy test. There are some that can be taken 5-7 days before your period is due but they are not always accurate so if you get a negative then if your cycle does not start on time I would retest again once you are a few days to a week late. Also birth control pills are not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy even when taken correctly and being on it the recommended amount of time before having unprotected sex. Also it does not protect you from STD's so using a condom in addition too your birth control is a good idea. Good luck
