What Causes Light Periods Post Unprotected Sex?

Hi. My lmp was 23 of sept. I had sex on 6,7,8, of Oct.. I feel I had slight bleeding on 20th to 23rd of Oct.. I took a pregnancy test on 25 which came negative... I have backache and fatigue. Should I wait and take another test or just assume that I m not pregnant. I m really worried. Please help. Was it my implantation bleeding or my regular cycle which came 1 day prior..?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Pregnancy test will give positive test only 8-10 days after the delayed period.
So It gave negative result as you did very early.
Following are the feature of the implantation bleeding:
It is just like spotting for 1-2 days, associated with mild cramp, pink/brownish in color, darker than menstrual bleeding, occur just around the time of menstruation.
So if bleeding with the associated with above feature and your period will be delayed by 8-10 days then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, and maintain proper pelvic hygiene.
Hope this may help you
