OBGYN,  's  Response
The spotting before the expected period is not indicative of pregnancy. If this spotting is during or after the intercourse, you have to have some other check ups done. You should have mentioned your age while asking the question.
This type of bleeding is called as post-coital bleeding, which is an alarming symptom of possible cancer of the mouth of the uterus (Cervix), particularly if such bleeding is around or after the menopausal age.
There could be any other lesion also inside the vagina or on the mouth of the cervix. Whatever be the cause, any post-coital bleeding needs a speculum examination inside the vagina and may be some investigations for screening the cancer of cervix.
