Menstruation Answer A5569

Your vaginal mucosa might be excreting allergic antibodies that will fight your husband’s sperm, but that would be a reason for infertility and can not cause bleeding or the start of a period after intercourse. More likely is that a hormonal imbalance has occurred, and the fact that it happens after intercourse is coincidental.
