Brief Answer:
Common in mid cycle

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is common to bleed after sex in mid cycle days so there is nothing to worry as yet.
I would like to know if
- you missed any pill out of birth control pill pack
- previous cycle was normal
- any offensive vaginal discharge.
But in case this occurs repeatedly with quick succession then you need to visit your gynecologist.
Take care. In case you have other questions you can contact me anytime.

no i didnt have any pause in my birthcontrol period because last time i bled mid cycle and my doctor told me to try not to have a break. so now i am 5 days in my new package.
Now three hours after sex i dont bleed
i dont have any vaginal discharge.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi, then there is nothing to worry about.
Just keep taking your pills daily and on scheduled time everyday and it will be fine.
And good point is you have been vigilant enough already that you have had a pap smear which was negative.
Wish you all the best.
