HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. Condoms have a failure rate of 3 - 18 %. Birth control pills are more than 99 % effective in preventing a pregnancy. Both taken together surely reduce your chances of pregnancy. Plus you have not been sexually active for 2 months. So do not worry. You are having spotting instead of a normal period. That happens once in a while. Other reasons could be stress, changes in diet or sleep, weight gain, tensions, hormonal medications etc. If this persists, consult a doctor to rule out POD, thyroid abnormalities etc. Take a pregnancy test anyway to be sure, there is no need to be scared. Take care.
