Spotting before period
I have been taking ovral-l ocp since 15 months i.e. since December 2021. I usually get my withdrawal bleed 2 days after the last pill in the 21 pill pack. Last month, my period was one day early i.e. on day 27 of cycle. This month, I still have 2 pills remaining in the pill pack but I had spotting today, which is day 25.
I have recently increased my exercise intensity and have been using weights, plus have been under mental stress and anxiety.
I had intercourse with my partner on day 16 of the cycle and we additionally follow the withdrawal method. I haven't missed any pills this month or last month. Haven't been more than 6 hours late in taking a late pill either.
Is there any chance of a pregnancy here? The success rate of ocp is pretty high, still could these be signs of pregnancy?

If no pills were missed
Bleedin or spotting before 21 days is not normal
Needs to be investigated n treated
There are no chances of pregnancy if thy were taken from day one of the periods without skipping any tab in between
U do not require withdrawal method additionally
