9 weeks postpartum, had sex using a condom. It was rough and I’m sore and having bright pink spotting, could I be pregnant?

Pregnancy is highly unlikely as long as you used the condom correctly and it was intact when he withdrew. The pink spotting that you are experiencing is probably due to the recent sexual encounter.  However, if you are worried, wait five weeks and then take a pregnancy test. If the soreness does not go away or the bleeding becomes heavier, call your doctor.

Just so you know: Women who exclusively breastfeed (do not supplement at all with formula) can actually use this as a method of birth control. LAM (the Lactation Amenorrhea Method) suppresses ovulation and can be used as a birth control method for up to six months after delivery as long as the woman has not had any menstrual periods.
