Bleeding After Sex For 3 Days? What to Think? Posted: 08-21-07 12:21pm
Hello. Im almost 21 years old. Been on
birthcontrol for a few years. been on
loestgroin 24 for about 3 or 4 months now.
I love it actualy...had made my periods so
much better.
Well about a week ago and had sex and
started bleeding afterwards. it wasnt a
lot and didnt last very long. It was the
day after i had just stopped my period so
i did not think any thing of it.
well i had sex sunday and i started
bleeding again. Today is tuesday and it
still has not stopped. Its only been a
little over a week since my last period so
i did not think it could be that. ALso i
have cramps and it just hurts. Its pretty
heavy at times...(like a period would
be)..then itll lighten up.
What should I think? SHould i be worried?
PLease help

I'm thinking a couple things...
first of all, when you have sex near the
time of your period, often the uterine
contractions from orgasm will push some
blood out (even if you thought you were
done). This happens to me all the time, as
I have no qualms about having sex during
my period lol.
secondly, it's really easy to tear or
scratch the vaginal walls during sex or
foreplay, and if you use tampons a lot of
times they dry out the vagina so maybe you
aren't as well lubricated as usual?
But since you are also having cramps and
stuff, I would go so far as to say that
it's not related to the sex you're having
lol. I mean, maybe the first time it was,
but this second time seems different
because it's heavier and is accompanied by
cramps. Bleeding from sex is common, but
not heavy bleeding and not cramps.
If sex continues to make you bleed, you
should see a doctor. It can be indicative
of other conditions.
