late period & spotting
Last night after my boyfriend and I had sex I went to the bathroom per usually. My discharge had the faintest red tinge of blood. I am about 5 days late for my period with no systems that it is coming. Last time I was about to get my period and we had intercourse it caused me to get my period but that has yet to happen. I'm wondering if the light spotting of blood could mean. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests all negative. Any suggestions?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Periods can start early or later. One thing that effects both is being in close proximity on a daily basis with other females of an age to have periods. Our bodies naturally self adjust to have periods at the same time as other females we are around daily by starting earlier or later. This could be females at home, at work or in a classroom.
As for being late, there are other things that can make a period late like being ill. Another reason is stress. When a period is late, sometimes but not always, you could get spotting with a brownish tinge first, followed by spotting with a pinkish tinge to it. The pink means its about to start. I've have several days of the brown spotting, maybe even 3 to 5 days if I had been ill and stressed or worried about something at the same time. Sometimes, no brown but just light pinkish to red spotting before the flow starts. When you see any kind of spotting make sure to take supplies with you everywhere cus its about to start soon. Being late doesnt mean being pregnant. But since you are sexually active, it doesnt hurt to get a pregnancy test when you are late although at the point you are late, it still may be too early to detect a pregnancy. Best to use the best birth control possible like be on the pill AND have him using condoms as well. Of yes, and sometimes, having intercourse will help jump start ones period but not always.

Well stress of any kind can often cause missed or late periods, so if that tends to happen to you then dont be too worried. Also If you had "rough sex" without enough lube then that could cause minor tearing in the vaginal walls and yes, it could cause slit bleeding that can sometimes be mistaken for spotting.
I dont think you in too much danger here but none of us are doctors obviously lol.
