I've been having irregular periods just this month, and my gynaecologist put me on Deviry 10mg twice a day for five days. I've taken only two doses so far and I'm noticing some light spotting. I'm a bit worried about whether this is normal and what I should do. Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm really worried and need some advice. Can pregnancy actually happen if it's just fingering on the 8th day of my cycle and there was some precum involved? I'm certain there wasn't any ejaculation or actual penetration, but I can't stop thinking about it. Is there a real risk of getting pregnant this way?
