What Causes Spotting Post Unprotected Sex?

I had unprotected sex about 3 weeks ago and a few days to a week after intercourse, I started spotting light brown/pink. It stopped a few days after. I missed my period, which was supposed to start on the 10th. So I m 9 days late. I have been having mild cramps, bloating, and feeling gassy. My stomach doesn t hurt but in my lower abdomen there is an uncomfortable feeling. Could I be pregnant?

Hi there,
I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.

1.First of all do not panic.

2. If you have history of regular cycles, then day 10 to 20 of the cycle is the most fertile period of the cycle. If you happen to have unprotected sex activity in this period, then you stand chance to get pregnant.

3.If you have missed your periods, I will suggest getting morning’s first sample of urine tested for pregnancy.In case of doubt blood beta HCG test and USG can be done to confirm or rule out pregnancy.
Even if you are pregnant, you can opt for termination with medicines safely till 9 weeks of pregnancy under expert medical supervision.
If you want to continue with the pregnancy you can go ahead with the consultation of your treating doctor.

4.If your tests show that you are not pregnant, then all your symptoms can be related to Premenstrual Syndrome- PMS.
Vitamin E, B LONG F, PRIMOSA one each at night for 3 months will be of help.

I hope this answer was helpful to you!
Thanks
