Spotting After Sex Log

A no-diagnosis spotting after sex log for timing, color, amount, pain, discharge, pregnancy concern, STI concern, and visit questions.

Spotting after sex can be one spot or a few light marks.

This log helps you write down the pattern. It does not name the cause. It does not tell you what care to choose.

Use it with the bleeding after sex tracker, the spotting vs period guide, and the sex pain and bleeding data privacy checklist.

This page is educational. It is not medical advice.

Prompt care check

Ask for care soon if any of these fit.

Spotting changes to heavier bleeding Severe pelvic pain Dizziness or faintness Fever Pregnancy or possible pregnancy STI concern New discharge with a strong smell Spotting keeps happening after sex Symptoms feel unsafe

If you feel very sick, seek urgent care.

Start here

Fill this out when you notice spotting.

Use words you would use in a message to your clinician.

Light spotting log

Use one row for each time this happens.

Date Cycle day Timing Color Amount Pain 0 to 10 Discharge Notes : right after / later / next day pink / red / brown one spot / a few spots / light none / changed

Repeat dates matter. They help you show the pattern.

Do not use this list to choose a diagnosis.

Context you may want to share

Only fill in what you want to share.

Context Note Last period start date Expected next period Contraception, if relevant Emergency contraception, if relevant New medicine or supplement New pelvic pain New discharge Bleeding between periods Pregnancy test, if taken

These notes add context. They do not prove why spotting happened.

Questions for a clinician

Pick the questions that fit.

Does this pattern need an exam? Does this pattern need a lab test? Could this count as abnormal uterine bleeding? Could cervicitis or an STI need to be checked? Could this be period spotting instead? What symptoms mean I should call the same day? What should I track if it happens again? Should I bring cycle notes or spotting dates?

If the bleeding is more than light spotting, use the bleeding after sex tracker. If spotting happens before a period, use the bleeding after sex before period tracker.
