Hello ma'am and welcome.

The very process of sexual intercourse can cause mild trauma to the female genitalia/reproductive system which can present itself in the form of mild spotting or bleeding. This can also be associated with cramps.

But if you did have unprotected sexual contact, a pregnancy test would be required 2 weeks from the time of this sexual contact.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
