So I have recently lost my virginity
It’s been a 8 days since that night and yesterday I have experienced some spotting and it has been like this for two days now I don’t have any other symptoms like nausea or bloating or tender breast cramps etc none of that but I am stressing so much whether or not I am pregnant we did use protection and I’m due to get my period in 4 days. Do you think I could possibly be pregnant as I have spotting or could the spotting just be from stress? Or could the spotting be from having sex for the first time but would it be normal to bleed 7 days after sex then or I’d this mainly from stress??
( I have never had spotting before either this would be the first time) should I be worried??
If I miss my period I will definitely take a test but do you think the spotting is definitely a sign of pregnancy? Please really need advice on this because I don’t know how to feel or what to do
