I have spotted for a day or so in the past but I began spotting Jan 11 and my period is scheduled Jan 23. My last period was Dec 26. I have been spotting off an on for about 6 days now. I am skeptical because my partner wore a condom each time when had sex, if a condom would break it would be replaced immediately. I know I need to go to the doctor but asking an opinion is this "bleeding during ovulation?" or could I still be pregnant?

I told another girl in a similar situation the same thing.
Stress can really cause a change in your cycle. Try to relax for a day or two and see how it goes. It's not the 23rd yet and it's possible to spot for a week before your period.
Replacing a condom immediately is only an effective thing if this happens BEFORE he ejaculated in the condom. Even then, it's possible that some fluid was in the condom and may have gotten into you. If you normally have an irregular period, maybe getting on the pill isn't such a bad idea. They have plenty of them with low hormones, but I'd recommend you still use condoms. Using 2 methods of birth control with a 99.9% effectiveness rate is way better than just 1. There's still that .1% that slip through the cracks.
Like I said, don't worry yourself- it's more than likely that you're fine, but there's still a possibility, so I'd recommend trying to make an appointment for the 24th or 25th. If nothing happens by then, go to the doctor, and if you get your period in full force by then, you can cancel and there's no harm done.
Best wishes!

If you "replaced the condom when it broke immediatly" that was too late. Congrats.
Next time use a spermicide too.

condoms aren't 100% safe...go get a pregnancy test at the dollar tree to see if your pregnant
