A member asked:

I have had bleeding during sex before my supposed period date. however i am currently late on my period for 3 weeks. was the blood my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: A normal period comes when expected and lasts the usual number of days. With a late period, we first think of pregnancy. If a pregnancy test is negative, then you probably didn't ovulate, which can lead to abnormal bleeding and bleeding during sex.

Dr Livingston and another doctor agreed
