I have light red spotting after wiping, yet my baby's heartbeat is normal and strong. I am 11 weeks pregnant. The spotting started Tuesday night at 10:30pm and has shown back up recently. I have no abdominal pain, dizziness, or abnormal vaginal discharge. I had intercourse with my husband around 6am Tuesday morning, which I suspect might be the reason for the spotting. I had my first baby in July 2021 via c-section and had brownish spotting around 6 weeks, but now it's showing more reddish. What could be causing this spotting and should I be concerned?

My period is 8 days late, and I keep getting negative pregnancy tests.

Why is my discharge green/yellow, has a noticeable odor, and is watery? It was constant at first, went away, and then came back. My last period started on June 9th and ended on the 13th. It comes regularly but the days sometimes change.
