Is it a miscarriage if there is bleeding after having sex 10 days after a delayed period?

Patient's question:

My menstrual cycle has always been irregular, sometimes delayed by several days. This time, it was delayed by 10 days, and I didn't mind. During intercourse, I experienced bleeding. Afterward, I realized the delay in menstruation was due to pregnancy. So, with a 10-day delay in menstruation followed by bleeding after intercourse, is it a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

You have delayed your period by 10 days, and there has been a recurrence of skin peeling after sexual activity. There are two possibilities: one possibility is that it is a sign of miscarriage after intercourse during pregnancy, but it could also be that you are menstruating, as you have not yet taken a test. Since your period is delayed by 10 days, you should first use a pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant.
