Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
Bright red vaginal.spotting after intercourse during early pregnancy is common. It is due to the fact that cervix is rich in blood supply during pregnancy and irritation of cervix during intercourse result in spotting. It does not necessarily indicate miscarriage. However, if she develops pain, bleeding worsens or is not stopping, then a pelvic ultrasound is indicated to rule out miscarriage.
Hope this answers your question
