Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As you are not using any contraceptive method, if you had unprotected intercourse around the time of ovulation there is possibility of pregnancy.
Consult gynecologist once, get examined and go for ultrasound.
By this, possibility of miscarriage and any retained products can be ruled out.
If there are any retained products, you may need D & C to remove them.
If there are no signs of pregnancy, the bleeding you had could be due to hormonal imbalance.
In that case taking anti - fibrinolytic drugs to control the bleeding can help.
If the bleeding persists after taking these also, you may need hormonal pills to regularize the periods.
Hormonal pills help for contraceptive purpose also.
Take care.
