Asked and Answered: No. As you have been told bleeding is not in any way a sign of pregnancy. Even on birth control please ask a new question or give other patients time to ask their questions on this incredible application. If you doubt this answer then fourteen days after your sexual encounter you can do a pregnancy test.
