Brief Answer:
Ruled out pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
hello, if you last had sex before your period then pregnancy can be ruled out. you may possibly have mid cycle ovulation spotting which may last a day or two. if it's just that nothing to worry about. heavy flow is abnormal and likely due to hormonal imbalance .

Brief Answer:
Difficult to make out

Detailed Answer:
I'm sorry it's difficult to make out from your picture. just know that midcycle ovulation bleeding just last for a day or two and appears as blood stained mucus discharge. it's very less in quantity and often not noticed other than when wiping . pads are not required. anything heavier is likely due to hormonal imbalance .

Brief Answer:
Timed intercourse

Detailed Answer:
unlikely to be pregnancy since you haven't missed a period . keep trying naturally . the fertile phase of you cycle us between day11-16 so try most during this time. if you don't conceive normally after 6 mths you should have some tests done. it seems that right now would be your fertile phase.
