Hello and thanks for the question.

Your question is a good one and I will try to provide you with some information and good recommendations.

I am assuming you do not take birth control. I doubt you are pregnant at this time. What may have happened is that the intercourse triggered some additional uterine contractions which led to the second set of days where you experienced the bleeding.

Again I doubt you are pregnant but I think you should obtain a pregnancy test to confirm this. Even if he did not ejaculate inside you it still presents a small risk. You can obtain a pregnancy test at a local pharmacy and I recommend you take the test in the morning with your first urination.

Again I thank you for submitting the question and hope my answer serves to be both adequate and helpful. If you have additional questions I would be happy to address them.

Regards,

Dr. Galamaga

Hi XXXXXXX and thanks for your followup.

It is highly unlikely that you would have been pregnant given the following days of bleeding which you experienced. I am fairly confident that you are not pregnant right now but I'd like you to get the counter pregnancy test done.

I am sure you are not pregnant but the test will give us that ultimate confirmation.

I know you are dealing with anxiety about this and I wish I could give you more reassurance. I thank you again for submitting the question and hope I have provided you an adequate response. If I can be of any additional assistance in the future please do not hesitate to ask.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
