What Causes Dark Menstrual Bleeding And Unpleasant Odour After Having Sex?

I had sex on the second and third day of my period. I usually go for six to seven days, but today on my fourth day the blood is dark brown with a very odd smell. & is all very light. Almost nothing at all. Could I be pregnant? When I had sex my boyfriend came inside me.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Menstrual cycle of 3 to 6 days is normal. Sometimes, it may stop by 3rd day itself or may be a day or two later.
The dark brown discharge with odd smell what you are describing is because of having intercourse during the periods. Since you say your partner ejaculated inside, semen might have mixed with the endomertial (lining of uterus) tissues, leading to such symptom.
The chances of getting pregnant could be remote as you are not in the fertile period and hence ovulation would have been unlikely.
Kindly keep the area under goody hygiene. It would be better to use protection like condom while having intercourse during menstrual periods.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
