Question : Hi. This is going to be lengthy. I usually have a 31 day cycle. My last period was September 13-16. My next period is projected to be October 14-18. I use the Ovia period and fertility tracker. My most fertile day was Friday, September 30. I had unprotected sex that day, but the day before I had the clear jelly like discharge. So I assumed I was ovulating. Last night I had sex, and suddenly started bleeding, a lot. I cleaned up and went to bed. Today I went to the restroom and nothing was irregular, but when I got home I was trying to feel my cervical position and there was blood all over my finger but not when I would use the restroom or wipe. Every thing was extremely wet inside. What could cause this, is this early signs of a pregnancy?

Brief Answer:
This is not an early sign of pregnancy!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I have reviewed your information fully. Your information is rather suggestive of a possible bleed from the sex encounter. You might have sustained a minor tear during this sexual encounter. It is too early for any possible signs of pregnancy to show up. Just be calm and follow through up to the next expected day of menses. By then, we would have gathered enough information to tell whether you could be pregnant or not.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
