Spotting While On Sprintec

I recently had intercourse 9 days ago while on the pill. I started spotting on my 3rd day of the white pill, this is my first time taking birth control and I have not had my period yet. Does this mean I am pregnant? Or should I not be worried?

Did you start taking it the first day of your period, or later in your cycle?

If you started it the first day of your period, then it should have prevented ovulation this month, so there isn't a very good chance that you're pregnant, though there is still a slight one.

However, if you started it at any other time during your cycle, then it would have taken 7 days for them to become effective in your body to prevent pregnancy.
