A member asked:

Hi, me and my boyfriend had sex last night, and i bled afterwards. today i had a light brown discharge, i had my period last week so i can't be pregs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Postcoital bleeding: Bleeding after intercourse is called post coital bleeding. This can be a sign of infection or cervical dysplasia. And based on the timing of intercourse you could be pregnant. Take a pregnancy test if you miss your next period.
