Bleeding after first time sex- how long is normal?

Hello. This is really embarrassing, but oh well.

I'm a 26/f. (late bloomer, yes.) I've been dating my BF for a while , Sunday nihgt we finally decided to have sex for the first time. We got a little tipsy and then went for it- off and on for about 2 hours, in different positions. It didn't hurt too much at the time, but afterwards we noticed blood on the mattress. I bled light/moderate overnight and the next morning, and since then i've been spotty (it's been 3.5 days). I've also been a little tender. I was just wondering if this was normal. I've had bad reaction to birth control pills, so we just used condoms.

Thanks in advance for any help!

same in really worrying I can’t do anything about it I’m too young to tell anyone and I can’t make an doctors appointment without my mam knowing after we had sex there was blood and it’s been 3 days and I’m still bleeding almost like a period but I had my period like 2/3 weeks ago ? So I’m really worrying.. will it go away, is it just cuss it was my first time ?

Please don't let anyone pressure you into sex!  You should only do it when you feel you are completely ready. It is best if you love the person you are having sex with. It will make the first time better.  13 is still very young, you have lots of years ahead of you to experience sex. Just my advice.

It is normal to bleed, it was because you were a virgin. It should stop within a week or more. People bleed more and some less

It is normal to bleed, eveyone does but not eveyone does straight after or during. It should stop within a week or more.

You will still be tight agter a while, it depends really on how big your boyfriends penis is. If it is rather thick then it shouldnt take as long because it is his penis that stretches your vigina. It will be sore because of yeast infection. You shouldnt have sex during or soon after having and being treated for it. You will have to start treatment again if having sex during

You should no have had sex while you are being treated for thrush also known as yeast infection, it doesn't help and stops the treatment from working, it you had unprotected sex it would have gave him an infection too and it hurts because you had sex with thrush. That's also why its sore. You can buy a cream that stops the itch and sore its called canesten. You should go back to your doctor and have more medication to start the treatment again. Dont have sex until a few weeks after being treated.

It does work but it can make you infertile. You may be bleeding because yoy have had you break for your period or that he has a big penis and it is too big for your vigina to handle

It is normal, everyone bleeds after their first time. You bleed more when you pee is because its forcing the blood to come out.

It is perfectly normal to bleed after your first time sex and even if your aren't a virgin, if you was a virgin before having sex it it fine because everyone does and it should stop up to a week or a little more. You won't need to go to your doctor and if you wasnt a virgin it would be because he was "big" and you wasnt.

It is perfectly normal for you to bleed everyone does after their first time and if you get discharge it is normal too. It will hurt badly after and during your first but the pain will go. You dont need to take a pregnancy test and the bleeding should last up to about a week or a little more, you shoulf try talking to him about your depression and why you feel like that. Talking to your sexual partner will help. It is not his fault your are bleeding it is perfectly normal.

I am guessing that you was a virgin before you had sex with him, the bleeding would be because it was your first time. The discharge is normal and so is the bleeding, sometimes you can bleed badly but it is normal. It could last up to a week or a little over. It didnt hurt after because he has already cut into your vigina (thats why it hurt and it only cuts on your first time its normal). You should be able to have sex when the bleeding has stopped but use a condom as it lubricants it and wont make it hurt as much or be hard to put is penis in you.

If you was a virgin before you had sex with him it could be because of that, everyone bleeds after their first time its normal, people are different and bleed more than others.

I want to state clearly that there are no doctors on this forum.  Higher up in the posts, you received some helpful information.  However, the original poster is long gone as this post is a couple of years old and hopefully she has worked through this.  luck to all

Being a virgin is nothing to be ashamed of. Girls or guys that tease you for being a virgin just wish they were still one! Trust me, I've been through it. I'm 42 and still a virgin, and plan to be until I get married. Hold on to your virginity! It is the most precious thing you will ever have!

Just breaking your hymen doesn't mean you aren't a virgin. You need to have sex to lose your virginity!

If u r 13 and u didn't have ur period yet it was a bad choice to play with itself but if ur 13 and already had ur period we'll good luck and this just means ur sore from the 'pop"  to be a virgin inside a vagina is a kinda like a bubble when it pops ur not a virgin anymore so technically I think it may have popped which is causing the sore and unComfortable feeling. So u can tell ur friends ur not a virgin

He was probably just too rough or too fast, it helps to let him know you're a virgin and to be gentle, it'll still hurt but not as bad and it will start to feel better when you get into it
