HI,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
You had first menses after your delivery.. You had bleeding for 5 days which stopped on it's own, like normal menstruation.& brown discahrge after sex following the menses.
- I don't feel you have any chance of pregnancy .. as you had sex in safe period following a normal menstruation.
- Brown discharge can be clearing up discharge after the periods/ an irregular bleeding that follows child birth or breast feeding.
* If still you have any doubt you can exclude pregnancy if next period is delayed.. after 8 days of delay.
Thanks.

As you have delivered in March and your LMP is on 6th of April you are less likely to be pregnant by an intercourse on 12th of April. It is not sure from your question whether you are exclusively breastfeeding your baby and if you are using any form of contraception. Be sure to use contraception from next time
