Pink blood 💓: or spotting can occur when period blood mixes with cervical fluid.

Sexual intercourse can also create small tears in the vagina or the cervix. Blood from these tears can mix with vaginal fluids and exit a person’s body as pink discharge. This can also be a sign of blood deficiency which means you aren’t producing enough red blood cells.
