Hymen breaking

My boyfriend and I have had sex a few times, we were still virgins before we did it.  The first few times my hymen didn't bleed.  But then the most recent time, everything went fine.  There was no immediate bleeding.  But when I woke up this morning after I went to the bathroom, I bled.  I know it isnt by period because I am on the pill and my period isnt supposed to come for another few days.  Is it possible for this to be my hymen breaking?

Hi.

I suspect your hymen wasn't thoroughly broken the first few times you have penis-vagina sex. However, no one can tell you for sure what's causing the bleeding. If it continues, please see your gynecologist--or go to your nearest women's clinic or Planned Parenthood to receive a low-cost or free exam to determine what's going on. Now that you're being sexual, you need to take responsibility for your sexual health. That means using effective risk reduction and contraception and seeing a gynecologist regularly. Best of luck to you. Dr. J

I have not heard of what you ststed in you message. I looked up some stuff on the internet that might be helpful to you. I have included the web address for you to read and the it talks about different ways to relive pain or changing the hymen before sex to prevent pain and bleeding. The heymen can be streched to prevent bleeding and the elastic of the hymen can accomidate inserctions and strech to prevent from breaking. You may have streched the hymen or have broken it before sex without knowing also.     http://www.vaginismus-awareness-network.org/hymen.html and
