Spotting am I pregnant?

I just had my period about a week ago and I began spotting later that next week. Sorry if this is gross but, the blood was hardly enough to drip on the pad and when i wiped it was bright red like my normal period color. It's been about four days now and I've been looking up all over to see if I'm pregnant. I've had nothing but protected sex "Condoms" and each time my partner always "pulled out" Before he ejaculated. Other than the spotting I don't think I've had any other symptoms. They say your breast begin to fill firm and you're more nauseousness but I don't think I have been. And if anything it's because of my anxiety and i'm thinking I am. But I truly don't know. And my period doesn't start till next month. So it could just be irregular periods or maybe even from sex but I don't know for sure. If maybe anyone can give me some reassurance it would really be nice.

Spotting can be pretty normal in between periods- sometimes it's due to a shift in hormones or other factors.  It can be due to implantation during pregnancy, but that's pretty rare, and it doesn't sound like that's likely in your case due to the fact that you have always had protected sex.  While sex with a condom can still result in pregnant- it's not a high likelihood.  You won't always see pregnancy symptoms- and as early as you would be, you wouldn't feel them yet (but again, I doubt you are pregnant).  

To be certain, wait about a week and test- but I would lean towards you getting a negative.  Let us know how you are doing!

Thank you so much for that. And the bleeding has started to slowly leave. it was a darker this morning right when I woke up but now it’s lighter and barely anything. I might wait till my next period and then after that I’ll text to be completely sure but thanks a lot you’ve really helped me calm down.
Glad that I could help!
