Post coital bleeding: It is not normal to have bleeding after intercourse. It could be because of infection or a cervical lesion or abnormal pap smear . You should get a pap smear and check up if you recently had a pap and it was normal then it could be because you are on the pill . If you have not missed the pill and are not in pain then wait a few weeks to see if the symptoms continue and if they do see a gyn.
