Chlamydia, gonorrhea and maybe M. genitalium can cause vaginal bleeding (but not trichomonas), but you are correct that having no other symptoms makes them less likely. Also, STI related bleeding usually is scant, not like a menstrual period. Any new or unexplained vaginal bleeding needs professional attention, so get care soon (including STI testing, since your question suggests you're at risk).

An examination by a trusted gynecologist should determine whether or not your abnormal bleeding is due to trauma or a need for stronger BCPs.

I have been on gianvi (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) birth control pills for about three years, and never had trouble. I had my period two weeks ago as normal, and sex last weekend, and now I am bleeding a bit and don't know why.

Probably OK: Occasional irregular bleeding with birth control pills is generally not worrisome. If the problem continues a gyn provider should be consulted.
