The : The source of vaginal bleeding after sex is most commonly from the cervix - the part of the uterus that hangs into your vagina. It is most likely just cervical irritation from the friction of sex and does not mean that you are pregnant. It also does not mean that you are not pregnant since pulling out is not an effective method of birth control. Since it has been 5 days, i hope you did take the morning after pill since it is 89% effective at preventing pregnancy if taken soon after unprotected sex. If you did not and are concerned you might be pregnant, you can either wait 3-4 weeks from when you had sex to take a home pregnancy test or call your doctor for an earlier pregnancy test (blood test). As far as the bleeding goes, as long as you are premenopausal, the bleeding is infrequent, and you have normal, regular pap smears, then you don't have to see your doctor for it. If you are postmenopausal, have bleeding that is heavy or every time you have sex, or if you have had abnormal paps smears in the past, you should see your doctor to rule out more serious causes such as cervical cancer. Good luck!
