Brown, light bleeding with clots after unprotected sex :WHY Posted: 08-04-07 03:15am
I had my period as normal on 17/07/07.
They have always been regular. On 25/07/07
I had unprotected sex and then two days
after was experiancing brown, light
bleeding with clots and have had this ever
since so 10days. I had some light cramps
too. Could this be signs of an std? I
thought at first it could of been
pregnancy but I had my period as normal
and am now bleeding again. I havent taken
a pregnancy test as i didnt think it was
needed seeing as i had a period although I
havent really had an appitite latley, Just
havent really been feeling hungry but then
other times I cant eat enough.

Vaginal bleeding that occurs 10 days after
a normal menstrual period is called
spotting (metrorrhagia). Spotting is not a
sign of pregnancy. It could, however, be a
sign of possible pregnancy complication if
a pregnancy already existed. Spotting can
be functional or organic. Functional
spotting, for example, is due to hormonal
disbalance. Organic spotting, on the other
hand, is due to an organic lesion in the
uterus (myoma, polypus, infection etc.).
In addition, spotting could be a sign of
an STD but not so soon (2 days) after
risky sex. You can easily confirm or
exclude pregnancy by performing a
pregnancy test ... but you should visit a
gynecologist to identify the true reason
for the 10 days' spotting.
