Can Sex During Ovulation Cause Pregnancy?

hi doctor, I ovulated 2 week ago , me and my husband are trying for a baby so we did have sex around that time, and today I got a very light pinkish spotting on my toilet paper when I went to the bathroom, could I be getting pregnant soon? or could this be implantation bleeding?.. I have just been feeling a lot of gassiness in my belly and cramping in my pelvic area and tired but that's all.

Sex cannot cause ovulation, but it is possible that you are pregnant, since you had sex at the right time. The spotting may have been implantation bleeding, or it could be something else. Those possibilities include some irritation from the sex, or early spotting before your period, and other more unusual things. Right now you should just hang in there and wait and see if your period comes when you expect it. If it is late, take a pregnancy test and you will know for sure. Good luck! I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any more questions.
