Re: Discharge
We can't say for sure what you're experiencing, or if it's normal for you, but there are a few reasons you might be noticing bloody discharge. You could be just about to start your period (even if it's early for you, you might just be having an earlier-than-normal period), or experiencing spotting; some birth control methods make spotting more likely. There are also some STIs that involve a pinkish discharge or bleeding after intercourse, though, so if you aren't up to date on your STI testing, or are noticing anything else unusual, that might be something to get checked out.
On its own, what you're describing isn't necessarily an issue but it isn't something we can diagnose for sure. This article has more information on what's normal and what's not when it comes to vaginal discharge: Honorably Discharged: A Guide to Vaginal Secretions
