Could I be pregnant?

Hi everyone. I have a few questions that I need some help with. I am currently not a mum yet, I was on the contraceptive implant for 8 months which stopped my periods which means I don't know when my period will come, I ended up removing the implant on the 31st July as it was not working for me. I had some pains between 13-15th August which I suspect were ovulation pains and I'm 100% sure it was not period pains. I had unprotected sex on the 15th August and on the 24th August I started feeling very nauseous, had headaches and a few days later started having belly cramps and pink/brown spotting and light bleeding but it's not like my regular period. Is there a possibility that I could be pregnant? How long should I wait to be able to confirm this as I'm a bit anxious and really want to know. Thank You

If you've had unprotected sex then there's a chance you could be pregnant!

Assuming an average cycle length then a pregnancy test such as a First Response could be used now to test. If it's negative try again in a few days.

Yep definitely could be pregnant. Could take a test any day now if you want but I would say any time in the next two weeks you could get a positive test if no proper period. I got pregnant my first month off the implant!
