Spotting after sex!?
| Tue, 04-26-2005 - 9:57pm |
I'm 18 and just lost my virginity, everyone told me that they bled really bad, but i didn't bleed at all at the time. But for the past two days after, i've been spotting, and i'm only on day 16 of my ovulation cycle. I've never spotted before...is that normal!?!?

Hi leilah2005, welcome!
I'm glad that you had no bleeding during your first time. Whether you have pain or bleeding is dependent on your anatomy and the skill and consideration of your partner. Many women are able to have their first sexual intercourse without pain or bleeding. Are you on hormonal contraceptives? Sometimes hormones will make the cervix more susceptible to bleeding a bit after sexual intercourse. If you aren't on hormones then since you are about mid-cycle the bleeding might have been ovulation spotting caused by the drop in estrogen just before ovulation. If you were using an effective method of birth control you should be fine. Come back to see us and let us know how you're doing.
Good luck,
Jill
