What Does Brown Spotting After Intercourse Indicate?
Hi, I have never had sex before but I m worried that I may be pregnant. Yesterday, my boyfriend was fingering me and a small amount of blood came out, it was reddish brownish, mostly brown. We have been doing this for quite a while and this has never happened so it made me nervous. Today, i had a little bit of lightish brown spotting. Although we havent had sex, we have grinded while he was wearing underwear (i wasn t) and I believe that some of his pre-cum may have gotten on or around my vagina. I didn t think this could cause pregnancy but I m just nervous. Also, I should be getting my period any day now, so I m not late yet and it s possible that this could just be period spotting, however I have a very regular period and I don t usually have issues with brownish spotting. What are the chances that I m pregnant?

Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Small amount of blood after fingering or after intercourse is common.
A drop of pre ejaculate is enough to cause pregnancy.
Most experts advise that you should wait at least one day after your missed period before taking a home pregnancy test, though waiting a week is considered best. This can be tough when you are anxious to find out if you're pregnant, but waiting allows for a higher degree of accuracy when taking the test, as hCG levels rise rapidly in pregnant women.
It's best to do the home pregnancy test first thing in the morning, when your urine is most concentrated and hCG levels are highest.
So I advice you to perform a test a week after missed period and with morning sample of urine. This test kits are nearly 98% accurate, so reliable.
With transvaginal ultrasonography, the diagnosis of pregnancy can be made earlier by 4-5 weeks gestation
I advice you to use some method of contraception when you are not trying to be pregnant.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
