A miscarriage can occur at any time, even after sex. Experiencing a miscarriage during sex, however, is most likely coincidental because sex can’t provoke a miscarriage. Further, it is hard to identify the reason for such bleeding, in your case. The bleeding could be caused by the following: miscarriage, menstruation, spotting or something else. You can consult your gynecologist for an examination if you'd like to follow up.
