Birth Control, Pregnancy, Period Bleeding Question Posted: 08-12-07 17:20pm
Ok, so I went back on bcp's after being
off them for 5 months, and tried to skip
my period by just going on to the 2nd
pack. Well, didn't work and i got my
period a few days later, but just kept
taking the pills like normal since I was
having sex.
Well, normally my period tapers off...each
day gets lighter and lighter, and the last
few days are just nasty leftover stuff.
I was sexually active with a guy who was
NOT comfortable with sex during periods,
so he had to wait, and when I went almost
2 days without anything happening (I wear
a diva cup), I thought I was good...cause
for the last 8 years, that is how my
period has been.
Well, we had sex...and after we were done,
we look down to realize I had bled....A
LOT. He *freaked* as did I...cause that
is like NOT normal. It was "fresh" bright
red blood, and quite a bit...not a ton,
but enough for it not to be just
"leftover".
He thought it was cause of him 'hurting'
me...but nothing hurt at all.
The even weirder part was after I cleaned
up, there was ZERO more blood. It has
been 2 days now, and no more blood has
appeared.
I read somewhere about implantation
bleeding and am now scared to death I am
pregnant.
What the HELL could this be??????????
Thanks!

Welp, hun I don't think you have much to
worry about. I have done the pack to pack
method and a week later my body just said
FU and bled. I thought I was off too
until it looked like someone got murdered
after me and my partner did the deed too.
Its just your body trying to cope. Your on
BC and in my opinion your body still needs
to bleed, its a healthy thing for us
women. Dont put to much stress on ya self
for now, it the prob persists then get
your OB involved. Till then I would just
relax its normal
thanks, but the thing is...my period was
totally normal once it started. It was
actually a tad heavier than normal. My
body was bleeding just fine. I normally
don't skip periods...I had a good reason,
i swear.
It was like sex was the sole cause. I was
fine through foreplay. It wasn't until
after sex we realized what had happened,
and at that point, i was completely done
bleeding.
Normally on my period if i bleed like
that, i'll have after-residue for at least
a day or 2...there was really nothing.

Yeah I see what you mean. There are a
total of three times Ive missed my period.
Two were bc I was PREGNANT and I knew it
by the 6 wk in. My whole body just felt
it, I just knew. When I skipped back in
Feb, I didnt have that feeling again.
Thats was scared me. I got checked out.
I was fine. In all honesty I think my
body was kind of adjusting itself to the
NO BC.
I would give your body a little more time,
its still adj to this new bc your
on(granted its been two month almost
three) but still our bodies are so complex
and litttle things throw us off. I would
say give it till the 22nd of this month
then I would get a little more worried.
for now just let it go

I definitely don't think you're pregnant.
Implantation bleeding is rare, and also,
it's very light, NOT heavy.
Cheers to a fellow divacup user!!

Sometimes an orgasm will push out some
blood after we think there's no more
because the uterine walls contract. It's
ok.
