Is spotting after sex such as mine normal

Has anyone had light spotting or brown/pink spotting for a few days after sex and then later found out they were pregnant? I know implantation usually happens later, but I’m just wondering if anyone experienced spotting immediately after intercourse and what it ended up being.

Even if it’s just irritation from fingering and sex, I haven’t had this spotting before. to me it looks like implantation but I know it’s not even the time for that yet. It’s now 4 days after sex and still having the ‘ spotting. I really do think that it should’ve stopped by now. I’ve been fingered and had sex before but it wasn’t like this.

its been yellow when wiping, orange, red, brown

Spotting after sex is usually related to vaginal irritation, it isn’t implantation straight after sex. Brown just means it’s turning to old blood which is a good sign for the spotting stopping. This isnt a pregnancy thing but it also doesn’t mean you aren’t pregnant so good luck 🤞

Hi I know that implantation doesn’t happen right after sex. But the spotting since has now been nearly 4 days. It’s been yellow, orange, red/pink. Idk but it doesn’t seem right for it to still be irritation. I showed my friend the pics and she said she thinks it’s implantation and I thought the same. I don’t know but tbf it had been a year since I had sex. But thank you . 🙏
