Early pregnancy?
I actually know a great deal about fertility and female issues because I'm a nurse, so I'm frustrated that I'm so stumped right now. I believe my last cycle to be on the 15 or 17 of July. I am not trying to conceive, but I did have multiple nights of wild, unprotected sex with my s/o on the week of July 27-August 1. I have started spotting only when I have sex or have a BM, but not enough that I have to wear a pad or tampon afterwards. It is a pretty significant amount of blood right after we finish, but then it completely stops. I've had a sharp pain in my side on and off with some intermittent cramping. The bleeding has ranged from pink to rust red. I did test two days ago, but it was negative. Is it too early, and why would I be bleeding after sex now? I know your cervix can bleed during sex when you're pregnant, so I keep thinking maybe I am. I'm just so confused. No doctor is going to see me now when my period is only due next week. Advice?

In addition to pregnancy, it could possibly be a cervical infection that gets irritated further when you dtd. My biggest concern is what you say about bleeding after a BM as that can be a symptom of a tubal pregnancy. A test would typically give you a positive even if it's tubal, but sometimes hcg levels rise a lot more slowly in ectopic pregnancies. I think it's worth calling the doctor.

AF being 15 or 17th of July would only put you around 6-8 DPO (I'm the same right now), so any test you take right now is expected to be neg. The bleeding after intercourse could mean a few things, pregnancy perhaps being one of them, but I agree with the prior two responders in that you should contact your GYNO and try to get in as soon as you can to see whats up. Try testing again around Tuesday-Wednesday next week.
