Today I woke up to very light bleeding... We ended up having intercourse this morning, twice, and I started bleeding a little heavier.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting health care magic.
Well going by the history , this could possibly be an implantation bleed if you have conceived by your first sex 7 days back .
also the sex today would have caused uterine contractions and may have increased the bleeding.

I would advise you to not to have sex for few days ( 3 days ) till bleeding stop. then get an transvaginal ultrasound done to check for endometrial thickness inside the uterus or any gestational sac.( likely pregnancy).

Though unlikely to come positive, but its always better to do a urine pregnancy test which is beta hcg based .

I hope you were not on any medications.
