Sex triggering period on POP?

I posted this on the Gyn fourm too but may get some answers here as well.

Has anyone ever heard of sex triggering a period to start? I have been on progestogen only pill for like 5-6 months now and have no had a period since I started, but have no been sexually active either. I recently became sexually active again and about 5 days later my period started. It was lighter than it use to be, but I wasn't expecting one at all. Has anyone had this happen or heard of it happening?

Wow, I didn't realize that about POP. Good info to know, even if it doesn't apply to me.


To the OP, although not on POP, I know for myself, if I'm about to start, or am finishing up my period, and then I have sex. I will bleed more heavily (than what I have at the time), for a day or two. Something about having sex seems to make it flow more. I'm not sure if that's the reason, for yours, however, just know that I have that same type of thing happen.
