Pain: Sex. Pain after sex can be for multiple reasons. Given you are ovulating that could be a cause for pain in itself with ovulation and release of fluid from the ovary. Along with sexual activity this can cause pain and cramps in itself. Release of prostagandins can cause pain too!

Could be: just irritation from having sex, if pain or discharge develops, or persists, then an exam and testing is appropriate. Consider seeking an effective contraceptive plan with your doctor's help.
