Hey there,

Light bleeding (spotting) between or before periods can be for all sorts of reasons (perhaps signalling your period is about start or potentially implantation bleeding), but it can be concerning as you have had unprotected sex and used the pull out method.

Periods can be irregular for many reasons including stress, weight loss/gain, gynecological issues etc., and it's best to try not to worry. That said, since it's been a while since you had unprotected sex, it's best that you take a pregnancy test.

Also, if you continue to be sexually active, it's best that you get on some form of birth control (Bedsider is helpful in reading up about contraception) and to consider using condoms as well to help prevent STDs as well as pregnancy.
