Can birth control cause post-coital bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It shouldn't: if you are having irregular periods, it seems more likely the bleeding has something to do with that, instead of rough sex. Post-coital bleeding is due to local trauma to your vagina, rather than a hormonal imbalance. Make an appointment with your OB GYN to get to the cause for the bleeding
