Bleeding after sex

Maybe someone can help me.  I had sex today with my fiance and during it was a little painful and sensitive.  If he was too deep it sort of hurt my cervix (sorry TMI).  Afterward I felt pressure, this isn't the first time I've felt this.  I just finished my period yesterday but I wasn't bleeding today.  After sex I had a little bleeding.  It is light pink, not a lot.  I am not pregnant.  3 hpt are negative, although I am ttc for about 7 months now.  I'm afraid I may have endometriosis or something like that.  I really don't know and I hate having to ask my doctor since I always call her with some kind of ailment.  Maybe one of you ladies know what may be going on.  

Thanks.

Thank you everyone for responding and giving me advice.  After that day we've had sex and no bleeding so I think it was just my period finishing.  I called my doctor and she doesn't seem worried.  I had my annual not to long ago and I had an hsg and they didn't see anything so I think I'm ok.

Not trying to scare you, but these are common symptoms of ovarian cysts, particular the pressure and pain.  99% of ovarian cysts are benign - NOT cancerous, fyi.  I would go back to your gyn and have them perform a pelvic exam.  If they are the Least bit unsure, have them do an ultrasound - either the belly kind or transvaginal.  Ovarian cysts are one of the most undiagnosed/misdiagnosed women's health conditions.  At any rate, its better to be safe than sorry!

Thanks ladies.  I hope that it isn't an STD because I would kill my fiance.  We have been together for 3 years and I've been completely faithful and I'm assuming he has as well.  I will see if it happens again since my period just finished so hopefully it was that.

I left a message for my dr. hopefully she will agree with all of you.  I was tested for all STD's about 3 months ago and I'm fine so I'm sure it was because of just a sensitive cervix.  I'll see what she tells me.

Thanks ladies.

I often found that either just before or just after my period I would feel pressure (maybe a swolen uterus getting ready to expel the lining) and also if I had sex the day after I could have a little bleeding (or spotting). I wouldn't worry about it.

I have bled after sex on more than one occation with my DH. He has a larger penis, and our sex tends to be a bit rough sometimes. Like a pervious poster said, its possibly due to an internal abrasion or something like that. I have been tested and so has he, so we know it isnt from an STD.

I bled after sex one time and had just been tested for STD's so I knew that wasn't what it was. I called the dr. and the nurse told me that it is pretty common.  The sex may have caused a minor abrasion to my cervix or something and not to worry unless it happened again.

Sometimes bleeding after sex can be a sign of a STD. Personally, I'd make an appt with your doctor, get a full exam (pap smear, STD screen, etc.), and while you're there you can address all your concerns and questions :-)

sometimes if you have sex just after finishing your period, the penetration can cause any blood that is left to come out.
