Unusual spotting (I never spot)

[Choryoko]

Two days ago, after some solo play in the bedroom, I began noticing a faint brownish color in my discharge. I had been having intercourse with my fiance shortly after my period, and I dismissed the discharge as some unreleased flow from my recent period, but yesterday the brownish color was not prominent (as in I now need to use a pantyliner). This is still happening today, and I'm worried because this had never happened before, even when my period was irregular after having come off of Depo. I have no insurance and I'm strapped for cash lately, so I don't know if this is something I should dismiss as some kind of cleansing afterflow, or regard this as something far more serious, and head on over to the ER. I'd like to know what it could be in the meantime, though. I have no other symptoms, no cramping, itching, burning, odour, or otherwise; only the discharge (spotting, I think?). Again, I've never spotted before, so I don't know if this is normal or unusual. Please help me understand, and let me know if I should see a doctor!
Thank you,
Choryoko

Oh, ok. So this actually isn't unusual, that's a relief. I have been having some rather "intense" intercourse with my fiance, so maybe that's the cause? It's not painful, and no odors or other symptoms, so it sounds much like what you've described. I did check this morning, and it's more pinkish-red in color, so at last it's not that alarming brown. Thank you I fell much more relieved!

Women can have breakthrough bleeding/spotting. More than likely it is nothing to be overly concerned with, so I wouldn't go to the Dr or ER over it.
If it is happening after sex (either with a partner or solo) it could just be that your cervix is becoming a little sensitive and bleeds some after activity. I had this issue. It doesn't hurt anything, just annoying.  Mine did eventually get to bleeding a lot from sex, so I ended up getting cryo-therapy (freezing of the cervix) to fix the issue. But I don't suggest it unless it gets really bad or you are done having kids as it can make it harder to conceive.
