Brief Answer:
Please get semen analysis done

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns about trying for pregnancy.

The bleeding you saw is due to temporary trauma of vagina during sexual intercourse. This is common and comes down slowly. Don't worry about bleeding.

Since you are trying for pregnancy, I suggest you get your semen analysis done to check if everything is fine.

I would also suggest your wife to get a HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) test done to check if fallopian tubes are open.

Semen analysis and HSG are basic tests before going ahead with other aspects.

It is good to know your wife has good egg reserve. Please get back to me with above test reports so that I can advice you further after seeing these reports.

Don't worry about bleeding, it is temporary.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.

My wife just informed me that for the past 24 hours or so she has been experiencing some mild lower abdominal cramping, similar to that which she usually experiences prior to her period, however she is not due for that for another 8 to 9 days.. is this significant ??

Brief Answer:
This is not significant

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This bleeding with abdominal cramp / pain could be considered as periods ( preponed periods) if there is continuation of bleeding for another one or two days. Since this is just one episode of bleeding, this is unlikely to be periods. It is just a minor traumatic bleeding from vagina.

This is not significant and hence no need to worry about this.

Let me know if you need further clarifications.

Dr. Soumya
