pinkish tan slightly malodorous discharge

I recently had unprotected intercourse with my BF on the 13th day of my cycle. I know ovulation occurs half way thru and sperm can live for up to 3 days. Three days after intercourse I started to have a pinkish tan slightly malodorous vaginal discharge. I have never been pregnant and do not know if or how the vaginal fluids change when pregnant. I do not have any STD's and my BF does not either. It is not like a yeast infection, which I have had before. Could this change in my vaginal discharge be secondary to pregnancy? (we used the pull out method)

Thanks!! Confused

Yes, a light pink/brown spotting can be a symptom of pregnancy. It doesn't occur in all women, but some women experience this, and it is called "implantation bleeding". When the egg burrows into the uterus, some bleeding can occur.

I've read that sperm can sometimes live in a woman's body up to 7 days. Since you had sex right around ovulation time, this also increases your chances.

I wouldn't rely on the pull out method... even if he doesn't cum inside you, there is a trace amount of sperm that comes out before he comes. You can take a pregnancy test as early as 5 days before your next period ("First Response"). Best of luck with everything!
