Spotting after sex?
Hey guys.. long story, but I'll try to keep it brief. Went off the pill early January because of breakthrough bleeding problems--it was Loestrin 24 Fe, and I had had a few other times during the two years I had been on it where I would get breakthrough bleeding. Finally gave up and got off of it, was having low libido anyway which is really no fun for anyone. 
No real side effects of going off except lately I've been having spotting after sex every once in a while. HPV was negative in July and just a couple of weeks ago, but I have had HPV for about six years. It popped up again November 2011, probably from the stress of planning a wedding, but had a colposcopy done and it was fine. Pap smear in July said ASCUS but HPV negative (we had sex the day before, whoops!) so they wanted me to have it re-done soon, pap smear a couple of weeks ago said everything normal & negative. The gynecologist was in a hurry and when asked about the spotting, basically just said "sometimes it happens and the spotting can come from the cervix"...super helpful there.
We've been using condoms, and I'm pretty certain I'm not pregnant. I also don't have any other STDs, and we are monogamous. Is spotting after sex relatively normal after coming off of birth control? I've also had it sometimes after non-penetrative orgasms, but only since coming off the pill.
Re: Spotting after sex?
Sorry, I don't know about the spotting and have never had a problem.
If your doctor is too busy to talk to you about your concerns, I'd definitely say you should go looking for a new one. In the meantime, perhaps you can send her an email or leave a message with the desk staff to get your question answered. Just make sure to ask what you really want to know. (some thoughts: is this somewhat common among healthy women? what could this spotting mean? When should I come in for an appointment if it continues? what if it gets heavier or more frequent?)
Good luck!
"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussIf your pap was normal then at least you know your cervix is healthy. The concern with bleeding after sex is that your cervix has changed significantly (have you read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks? Her tumor bled at the slightest finger prick). That's not what's going on here.
I can't say what is. I'm a biochemist who studied HPV, not a medical doctor :-)
