Hi MCC899,

It is possible that it may have been some light spotting after your period, since it was so close. Sometimes oral contraceptives, like you mentioned you are now taking, can lead to bleeding after sex. Have you bled after sex before or is this the first time? If you bleed every time after sex, it could be a serious matter. Some more serious causes of bleeding after sex could be:

  • injuries to the vaginal wall during intercourse
  • endometrial or cervical cancer
  • STDs
  • pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

Again, it is very possible this bleeding is related to your menstrual cycle since both occurred so close together. It may be a good idea to visit your gynecologist and explain the situation so they can ensure everything is fine.
