Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Source of vaginal bleeding post intercourse is mostly cervix ( the lower part of uterus). There can be no relation of spotting after intercourse & birth control pill usage.
Even when cervix is healthy, vigorous sex can cause some bleeding. This mostly occurs when you have vaginal dryness or less vaginal lubrication. In this case, You should use lubricants during sex.
Other reason of bleeding from cervix is some abnormality in cervix. In case of cervix abnormality, even gentle sex can cause much bleeding. Cervix problem normally arise due to sexually transmitted infections such as HPV.
If you have never got a pap smear test done previously, You are advised a pap smear to ruleout a cervix problem.

Refer to a gynaecologist.
Hope this information helps
