Hi Rachel,
July 20, 2011 - 5:11amAgain, call your doctor. She can tell you if the 10 days of spotting can be related to the medications that you are taking or not. If you finished your period on June 26 and had sex two days later, it is not very likely that you could be pregnant. The chance of pregnancy is highest with unprotected sex during ovulation which generally happens mid-cycle or about 14 days after the end of the last menstrual period.

Hi,
July 18, 2011 - 5:10pmHave you spoken to your doctor about this? I found information on the website for Loestrin 24 Fe:The most common are nausea, vomiting, bleeding or spotting between menstrual periods, weight gain, breast tenderness, and difficulty wearing contact lenses. These side effects, especially nausea and vomiting, may decrease or subside within the first three months of use.
I suggest you call your doctor to be sure that the spotting is just a side effect and not a sign of another problem.
