Hi, I understand your concern. It seems you have a normal & regular menstrual cycle. - Usually pregnancy test is done after 8 days delay in periods. Have you done it before that with a fear of being pregnant? If so the test has to be l be negetive( because it was done too early ).. & in that case the bleeding after intercourse might be from early pregnancy ( threatened abortion.) You need to repeat pregnancy test & consult a gynecologist in such a case. - Post coital bleeding in absence of pregnancy can be seen in.. Cervical erosion/ cervical polyp/ cervical inflammation & infection./ malignancy .These things need to be diagnosed & treated with consultation of a gynecologist. Thanks.
