bleeding after sex

I'm 20 years old, and have been having sex with only my boyfriend for the past 2 years. After sex, I always pee in order to prevent infections, and I always have blood when I wipe myself. However, after using the bathroom tonight I had a tiny bit of blood when I wiped. I just had sex about 24 hours ago, and havent had it in over a week before this. Is it possible that I can still be bleeding a bit from last night?

Hi laur2003, welcome!

Yes, it's possible that he bumped your cervix or if you are very near your period intercourse (and uterine contractions) could cause you to spot. Women on hormonal contraceptives are more likely to experience a little bleeding after sex than those who aren't. If you have had a recent pelvic exam and pap and everything was fine, then I think you should be ok. If the bleeding becomes more substantial or frequent it would be a good idea to see your doctor. If you have more questions please ask.

Take care,
