Bleeding 2 Days Before a Period Posted: 11-14-05 09:52am
Ok so ill admit im sorta freakin out right
now and I need advice.
My girlfriend has been taking
ortho-trycylin since she was 15 (now 20).
She stops taking the pill on a sunday and
starts her period on tuesdays normally.
Last night (the sunday before her
period)my girlfriend and I made love, I
went without a condom until she got off
and then I put a condom on and finished
15+ minutes later. While I had my condom
on she started to bleed, it was a
relatively small bright red spot on my
sheets and I just thought she started
early. But this morning she told me she
didn't start and now this has got me
worried to all hell because I really dont
know too much about reproductive organs.
Can you tell me what this might be,
explaining it to a dummy. I tried looking
this up and I couldn't really find
anything that helped me. Should I worry
about her being pregnant? Also what is
implantation bleeding?
Thanks for the help all I hope to hear
from you soon!

As long as your girlfriend has been taking
birth control regularly, without missing
pills you really shouldn't have to worry
about being pregnant. Even if she had
just missed one, the chances are still
slim.
Does your girlfriend experience any pain
during sex? Bleeding after sex can be a
sign of other underlying issues (ie
chlamydia, etc). If it continues to
happen, it would be wise for her to have
it checked out. I am not trying to
freak you out more, but chlaymdia is very
common and if left untreated can lead to
infertility problems for her.
Best wishes.

She can have an infection that could cause
a little bleeding or spotting after sex
and cause discomfort to her. She should
go to the gynecologist to have this
checked out and to make sure everything is
ok. The little spotting could be nothing
to worry about but it is better to make
sure.
I don't believe that was implantation
bleeding, since it usually occurs about a
week or more after conception and it is
usually a brown-ish to pink-ish color.
Good luck with everything

Thankyou all for replying, I asked her
about it today and she hasn't had any pain
during or after the sex, and she told me
it was nothing to worry about and it was
somewhat normal, it has happened to her
before. So I am reassured a bit. Thanks
again and if it could be anything else
please keep replying
