Ovulation?: If your menses isn't due for 2 weeks, you are mid cycle and likely having mid-cycle pain and spotting associated with ovulation. In this case, pregnancy is unlikely and the pain and bleeding are not likely related to the sex 6 days ago. You should expect your normal cycle when expected. If not, you have irregular cycles and should see your doctor.

7 days ago my period ended. Today I experience mild cramps around the womb area and little blood discharge. It is dark red/brownish. Gooey and sticky consistency. Discharge amount is lesser than half a tea spoon. Any reason?

Sometimes that happens apparently without any explainable reason. It should clear up If it does not you will need to see a GYN.
