Hi yesterday I had unprotected sex and I woke up the next morning and I started to bleed then it got heaver as the day went on I am due for my period so at the time I just thought that maybe that all it was but it smells and looks a little different then it normally does and now I'm worried that it's vagianl bleeding. I was wondering if you could tell me the difference between vaginal bleeding and period blood

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
Vaginal bleeding can happen as a side effect of taking emergency contraception. It also happens between periods, not at the same time your period is expected. Often a fowl odor of the vagina is often related to infection. It can also be accompanied by itching or burning sensation.
If you continue to have irregular symptoms, I suggest you see a gynecologist.
For now however, it is safe to say it is your regular period.
Below I have pasted a link to a HER article that talks about bleeding after sex and when to see a doctor.
