Still bleeding

I have been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for over a year now. My period started on May 2nd. I was supposed to be done by yesterday since I started my white active pills again. I wasn't bleeding last night when I went to bed. I had sex last night. I woke up this morning and I am bleeding again. Not heavy, just really light. It is a tinged red and brown color. This has never happened to me before. Will I stop bleeding soon?

That's happened to me sometimes if I have sex close to the end of my period.

I think my bleeding is caused by the sex last night. If it was really caused by sex, how long should it last?

If the bleeding doesn't stop today, or gets heavier call your doctor.


Good luck,

When I've had postcoital bleeding, usually it's only lasted for a few hours, but that doesn't mean that's the case for everyone who gets it.

The bleeding did stop sometime yesterday. I think it was either from the sex the night before or from ending my period and all the blood hadn's came out yet. All that matters though is that it stopped. Thanks for all the advice!!!
