Yes: The uterus often contracts during intercourse and if menstruation is near, it can start as a result.

Sex and Bleeding: Yes. Of course. If your uterus was getting ready to start sloughing off it's lining then the contractions of orgasm could very well caused this sloughing to start a bit early.
