hey. I don't have crohns - I have UC - but I used to always get bleeding after sex. This was before I was diagnosed with UC, but whatever. so, I went to my OBGYN. I had been on birth control pills for years at that point and she told me that some women eventually get a thinning of the uteral lining from the pill, and that getting off the pill can solve it. sure enough, I got off the pill and within about 6 months I no longer had any bleeding after sex. now I use an IUD and have no problems with bleeding. I still sometimes have a little pink mucus, but my OBGYN assures me it is nothing. have you been on the pill a long time? if so, perhaps see about this with your GYNO. I also had a "fryable cervix," which freaked me out but again, once off the pill that went away too.
don't worry, it's not just you. my OBGYN says tons of women have some sort of spotting problem and just never want to talk about it because we all think we're the only ones....
