First, as long as you are taking your birth control pills correctly & consistently, you do not need to worry about pregnancy. Even if you and your partner do not use a condom, your pills are covering you as far as birth control.

It is not uncommon for women to sometimes have pink discharge or spotting after intercourse. If this occurs infrequently, it is not a concern. However, if it begins occurring more frequently, like every time after sex, or becomes heavier (like bleeding), it may be a signal that you have a vaginal infection. In this case, it would be a good idea to follow up with your doctor for a vaginal infection check and/or STD screening.

Family Planning Plus clinics offer gynecological exams, birth control, pregnancy testing and emergency contraception for little to no cost, depending on your household size and income. STD screenings are free for men and women of all ages. Please feel free to schedule an appointment at any of our clinic locations.
