Hey Mary, I am also in the same boat. Last month I spotted lightly for almost a week before my period. Then my period was really short (3 instead of the normal 5). We tried for a baby this month and had sex a lot. After, I noticed that whenever I went to the bathroom during the night / in the morning I would drip / wipe some red mestral-fluid-looking liquid. It's happened the two times since my fertile time as well. My gyno said it was normal, especially around ovulation, and as long as it wasn't all the time. So, if it continues past this month I'm supposed to come in and check since it's not been a chronic problem before now. Hope that may help some.
Spotting after sex isn't a good sign. It can be a symptom of an infection. I would go to your doctor and have them run tests.
Hello Mary,
Last month the same exact thing happen to me. my period had ended about a week prior to this happening so I know it could not be the cause. But the next morning after intercouse I had the same bright red spotting. I thought maybe it could have been implantaion spotting, but two pregnancy test confirmed that I am not pregnant, even though I still did not get a period yet this month. I wish I had more for you.
