Hi all... well I was having sex with my bf last night and all of a sudden we noticed that I was bleeding. I didnt feel any pain or sex wasnt even rough. I admit, we hadnt had sex for like 3 weeks. This morning I checked and I was no longer bleeding.

Does anyone know what this is or whats causing me to bleed??? HELP!!!!!

Hi foxymestiza, welcome!

Have you had a recent pelvic and pap so you know everything is ok? Bleeding during intercourse as fairly common especially in women who are on hormonal contraceptives. The outer layer of cells near the tip of the cervix can be easily damaged and cause a little bleeding especially if your cervix was bumped during sex. Another possibility is that if you are within a day or two of your period intercourse might have triggered a bit of spotting. I think you are probably ok but if the bleeding reoccurs or if you haven't had a recent pelvic you might want to see your doctor. Thanks for posting. Please come back and let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

Hey there, thanks for your reply. The last time I got a pap was in January and everything came back fine. But you're right, I will go to the dr if this happens again.

Thank you!!!
