Bleeding

[collegegurl3]

I just lost my virginity and i am worried about some things. I lost it on December 7 and now it is December 11 and i am still bleeding heavily. The night it happened blood and clots came gushing out of me and it scared me because it was a lot. Ever since then i have been running a fever and been sick stomach and sharp pains and still bleeding heavily. Is this normal?

I hope by the time you have seen this answer you have also gone to a doctor.l Of course this isn't normal. It could be an endometrial problem , or a spontaneous abortion, or something more exotic that only a doctor would understand. Bleeding, other than normal menstruation,  is always a cause for concern and requires medical attention- PLEASE go see a physician .

Hey I'm not a doctor, but NO, it's definitely Not normal as far as I know!!!!! I hope you are old enough to be losing your virginity, for your sake emotionally and physically. Now, having said that, I have never heard of that kind of heavy bleeding from having intercourse. The only thing I can think of is that you started your period the same night? Is that a possibility? Even so, you shouldn't have a fever because of it. When I lost my virginity, I had mild discomfort from him being inside me, but no bleeding, or even spotting  and definitely no fever , severe cramps or anything like that. I suppose it might be within the range of normal if you had just spotted a little bit the night of, or day after,  but the symptoms you are describing, are somewhat disturbing.  Are you sure the fever isn't related to a viral illness such as a cold?  In any case, it sounds as though you might have some kind of infection. you really need to go see your gynecologist Asap.  Now that you are sexually active, you will need to see an  ob/gyn every year for a pap smear, and to test for stds if a problem arises, and for cases like this, when your body is trying to tell you something is not right.  PLEASE go see your Doctor!  Hope this helps.
