Bleeding and spotting after sex?

I’ve been having light pink to red to dry blood bleeding for 6 days now. I took an emergency contraceptive on the 14th, 2 days after unprotected sex. About 2 weeks later I started bleeding and it comes and goes and is light flow but then sometimes it’ll be a bit more. No other early pregnancy symptoms but still want to ask. My menstrual cycle is supposed to come in 3 days. Please help me.

The good news is that pregnancy tests are extremely accurate, therefore, if it is negative, you do not have to worry. The tough question is why do you have irregular bleeding?  It probably has nothing to do with the fact that you had sex.  Irregular bleeding is one of the most common reasons that someone goes to see their OB/GYN.  Many times, there is no significant reason it just happens.  If it really bothers you, then birth control can make your periods regular. I hope that this helps.
