On the period side, one possibility could be that your hormone levels have changed. They do that every so many years (I don't recall the number). I'm assuming that will interact with your pill, not in a you aren't protected sense, but a "withdrawal bleeds are effected" interaction. That can result in breakthrough bleeding. When I was on Yasmin I was a Sunday start but didn't get my period until Wednesday or Thursday. I'm on a different pill now, Sunday start, and I still don't get my withdrawal bleed until a few days into the placebos. Go talk to your doctor about it, and changing pills is definitely an option.
The tiny amount of blood and pain after sex? I've gotten spotting after rough sex, even if I use plenty of lube. I also end up sore for a few days afterward. It feels great at the time, but not after. I get better if I abstain for a few days. If I don't, the sex tends to be pretty painful even with a lot of lube. I leave it alone and let it heal.
The shooting pain I don't have experience with. That's another thing to bring up with your doctor.
Also, can you change "clean" to something like STI-free? Thanks.
