You may be describing implantion bleeding, which comes usually just a week or two after having intercourse or coming in contact with semen.

Implanation bleeding is just what it sounds like. When the fertilized egg (ie: your baby) grows to attach to your uterine walls (ie: your womb) there may be some blood to come out. In most cases it seems like a very light period but for some women they experience a "regular" period for them. Many women mistaken it for an early period because of this bleeding.

If I were you, I would pick up a few home pregnancy tests and schedule an appointment with your doctor. Some home pregnancy tests are better than others. According to a couple of studies done, First Response and Early Result Pregnancy Test are the two best kinds to purchase because they are slightly more sensitive than the others. You may want to pick up a couple of those for home usage.

Your doctor's appointment needs to address your unusual period even if you aren't pregnant. Strange bleeding like this can be signs of several illnesses, including STDs or STIs. It's better to have yourself completely checked out in case something has happened down there other than pregnancy.

In short:

Yes, you may be pregnant based on what you have described.
Get some home pregnancy tests and see your doctor.

P.S. With typical usage, the hormonal birth control pill is actually only 92% effective preventing pregnancy. The 99% claim they advertise is actually for perfect usage--something that could probably only be seen in a laboratory setting. I seriously wouldn't put all of your trust within a single pill. Always use a back-up method of condoms + spermicial lubrication. No method (or combined methods) are 100% safe in preventing pregnancy and NOTHING will protect you from diseases.

i have never heard of that. Usally on birth control its stupose to regulate your periods. but with sex it can mess them up a little. I think its unlikely but wait a few weeks and take a pregnancy test. the pregnancy tests at the doctors office is a lot better than the home ones

You should probably do a pregnancy test to make sure but it seems like it but just to make sure do a pregnancy test and then go to the doctor to make sure if you are or not because even if i tell you that you might be you might not be so just to make sure do a pregnancy test to confirm so you dont end up freaking out for no reason.
