Can having sex jumpstart periods?

Question

So I started a new BC recently and I had a SUPER light period about 2 weeks early. Now, after my boyfriend and I had sex, I noticed on the condom was some blood. I went home and then there was a lot more blood than I realized and I’m sure I’m ok but did having sex jump start my period even though I just got off of it?

Answer

No, not if you're on birth control. But when you're first on a new Birth control you can sometimes experience spotting in between packs for the first few months. You should tell your gyn if it continues past 3 months.

Answer

It's probably old blood
