It started two days after the last day of my period, which lasted about 6 days, I've had sex but it was with a condom. I took a pregnancy test today and was negative. Could it be from Anemia?

Hi my name is Brigid and I am 22, I went off birth-control 3 months ago and have normal periods on or around the 20 of each month. Two days after my last period about two weeks ago I started getting spotting, so I waited about a week and took an over the counter pregnancy test and was negative, its now the second week after my normal period and I still get spotting? Could I still be pregnant or can this be something else?
Answer -
I doubt that you are pregnant. Did the spoitting start two days after the first day of your last period or two days after the period ended? How long did the period last? It is common to have some spotting at around cycle day #14 (counting from the first day of your period). This is when you ovulate. If you have sex around that time, a pregnancy test will not show a positive result until 14-21 days after that (around the time you are scheduled for your next period to start.)
Answer -
If your last period started on August 20, and lasted for 6 days, you would have ovulated around September 2. YOu could have become pregnant if you had sex on September 1,2,3, or 4. If you say that you had your period on August 20 and bled for 6 days, that would have brought you to August 26, which was only one week ago. Therefore, your last period did not end two weeks ago. If you got pregnant, a pregnancy test will not show anything until you miss your next period. I'm still confused as to when the first day of your last period occurred. That is very important to know.In any case, it is unlikely that you are pregnant if you were using a condom and a pregnancy test two weeks later was negative.
AnswerIf your last period started on August 16, and it lasted 6 days, you would have ovualted on August 29. You could have become pregnant if you had sex on August 28,29,30, or 31. If you do not get your period on September 11, take a pregnancy test seven days later and you will know for sure.
