Can pregnancy occur with ovulatory spotting?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello:
My ovulation period this month is on the 7th. I had intercourse on days 7, 8, and 9, but for some reason, I’m bleeding today. Can I still get pregnant? (In the past few months, I always had bleeding during ovulation. The doctor said I might have a deficiency of qi and blood, and I’ve taken several boxes of Ejiao. This month, I didn’t bleed during ovulation, but why is it bleeding again today? Can I really get pregnant?) Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Bleeding during sexual intercourse does not necessarily mean pregnancy. It is generally during the ovulation period that pregnancy is more likely, and other times are basically safe. If you are using contraception, you must take appropriate contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse for greater safety. When bleeding occurs during sexual intercourse, check if you have cervical erosion and identify the cause. This is more helpful for those preparing for pregnancy. If the situation is not optimistic, timely treatment can be taken.
