My last period was august 25. So I am
due for one any day now. For the last
week and a half, I have been spotting
somewhat. I started out spotting just
every other day, now it has been everyday
for about a week. Me and my boyfriend
had sex about two and a half weeks ago.
And we did use a condom, but I am not on
any birth control pill. I also feel
tired all the time and have frequent
headaches. I also have some chest pain
(or pressure) and dizziness. Can someone
please help? Could I be pregnant? Can
the spotting be caused by something
else?

yes you could quite possibly be pregnant
as you said you had sex a couple weeks ago
which would have been around the time you
were most fertile, condoms are great to
protect against std's, but I wouldn't rely
on them for birth control. As for the
spotting, some women do have spotting when
they fall pregnant, due to the embryo
atatching itself to the lining of the
uterus. You said you are tired, and that
is a sign of pregnancy but I would have
thought it would be a little early to have
those symptoms just yet. I would expect
that at 5 - 6 weeks but everyone is
different. The chest pain and dizziness I
would be concerned about, that doesn't
sound so great, i'd be making a doctors
appointment on that one. In the mean time
I swear by home pregnancy tests to give
you a rough idea, then when you go for
your doctors appointment, ask for a
confirmation, they will do a blood or
urine test depending on your doctor. Good
luck !!

I congratulate you on using a condom, but
like suzy said they aren't always very
effective. I think she answered most of
your questions
