Hi,

So me and my boyfriend had sex last night, we used a condom and I’m on the combined pill so we were safe. Thing is I woke up this morning, went to the toilet and there was very light bright red blood when I wiped. Is this something I should be concerned about? I’m a worrier/ suffer from bad anxiety anyway so having this problem isn’t helping me

There are a handful of reasons spotting after intercourse can happen. The most common ones are just not using enough additional lubrication, not being aroused enough, having a partner be too rough (and not speaking up, so they wind up creating an injury), or just overdoing it.
