What Could Pink Spotting Post Periods Indicate?
I just got off my period two days ago and I have been sexually active a week and a half before and while I was on my period. And today i noticed some light pink spotting and ive never experienced this before. I have been on birth control for the past two and half years. So of course I am a little concerned. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi
Pink spotting or discharge can occur when blood is mixed cervical fluid which can occur before or after periods.In case of any foul smelling discharge,vaginal infections should be suspected.You can take a pregnancy test 2 weeks after the date of sexual intercourse.Any test before that period can give a false negative result.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
