Can bleeding after sex during pregnancy cause miscarriage?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I just found that I was pregnant three days ago, I got a faint positive and went to the hospital. The doctors said it was too early but they did a blood test and my hCG was at 150. I had sex yesterday morning and started light bleeding after. I had two small dots but the rest was light pink. I went back to the doctor and they did a vaginal ultrasound and I had the same problem. My cramping is nothing major. I am 21 years old, 5 feet 4 inches, and 161 pounds. Can you tell me if this is a miscarriage?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It could be a miscarriage and could be spotting in early pregnancy, as miscarriages are usually confirmed on an ultrasound scan, and bleeding is heavy with abdominal pain, and it usually takes a few days before it stops.
I would suggest you repeat a pregnancy test and see if it is positive or not, because if the pregnancy is miscarrying, then there is a possibility for that to become negative due to falling levels of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin).
I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq.
Thank you.
