What Causes Spotting After Protected Intercourse?
Question: I had sex on 1st of May, I had my last period on 19th of April. Had spotting on May 14(for upto 2 days). Condom was used during the act. Pregnancy test was taken on the 22nd of May. The result was negative , but is there any cause of worry as I had never had spotting before?
Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Thank you for providing more details.
When you had sex you were probably in ovulation time and there is chance of pregnancy.
The spotting could be your periods or implantation bleeding.
Urine pregnancy test comes positive one week after last period. Hence I suggest get serum beta hCG blood test which will confirm the pregnancy if its there.
The chances of pregnancy by your history is less but cannot be ruled out completely.
Serum beta hCG blood test will confirm it.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
