Bleeding: If you are pregnant, sex may make your bleeding worse. Cervical infection could be the issue as well. Probably need to confirm if pregnant or not first.

Could be anything...: Implantation bleeding is a common entity on the internet but not frequently seen in real life. Weird bleeding/spotting now could be the start of your period or many other things besides pregnancy. Its really not helpful in diagnosing pregnancy. If you want to know if you are pregnant, get a pregnancy test from the pharmacy and see. Best wishes!
