A member asked:
I was ending my period and had sex for the first time. it was protected and im on birth control but i have been lightly spotting since, can i be preg?

Not likely: Penetration is, in a way, trauma to your pelvic area - if it has not been exposed to that much friction or exposure before. So, sometimes it can lead to light bleeding/spotting afterwards. If you're using protection and on birth control, it's very unlikely that you're pregnant. Be sure that having sex is the right decision for you. If irregular bleeding in a few days, talk to Dr. Best wishes.
