Can I Be Pregnant If I Have Spotted Pink Discharge After Sex?
Hi my husband and I had unprotected sex during my fertile window last night, on cycle day 22, I had one tiny speck of blood and pink discharge on the toilet paper when I wiped. This only happend once. What could the possible reasons be for this, could I be pregnant? My period cycle is usually 26 days.

Hi,
As you have 26-day cycles, your ovulation falls around the 12th day of the cycle. The fertile period is around this time. So, with an intercourse on day 22 of the cycle, you cannot conceive. The discharge and the spotting are perhaps due to trauma or some local lesion. Please take further advice from an expert after a local exam; a vaginal swab, pap smear and a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram are helpful in the diagnosis. Repeated episodes of such post coital spotting definitely call for further investigation. Hope this helps.
