You really don't need to be to concerned. Decreases levels of estrogen cause the vaginal walls to become thinner and more prone to bleeding, especially after intercourse. A vaginal infection could also start the bleed.
Menopause does not mean permanent infertility, particicularly in the case of premature menopause, which is not your case, just threw that in for your information.
MEDLINE has looked into this phenomenon and found 116 pregnancy cases which occured 2.4 years after menopause.
If your doctor has confirmed that you have gone completly thru menopause, it is next to impossible for you to get pregnant. There are no eggs left for your ovaries to release. No ovulation, no baby.

I had my last period in early 03. It reared it's ugly head again just this year. A full period mind you. I thought, oh no, those damn things are back?? AAARGH... I got one more 2 months later. Here we are almost into August and nothing more has happened. But i do bleed when i have intercourse, not a lot, just enough to be annoying.
I hope this helped a little. You may want to give your Doctor a ring. He may want to check you out just to make sure evrything is cool.
