Spotting After Having Sex. Does This Mean Pregnancy?
Question: spotting my menstrual cycle went off April 19 me and mah boyfriend had sex April 21 after when finish I notice I was spotting could this mean I'm pregnant? is it something else
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
After completion of the periods also sometimes minimal spotting can be noted.
It will usually subside soon and no need to worry about it.
As you had intercourse in the safe period the possibility of pregnancy is very less and also implantation bleeding will not be shown that much early.
So don't worry that can be because of hormones.
If the post-coital spotting repeats in future better to get examined once to rule out other possible local causes like cervical erosion etc.
