Hi - I had some bleeding after intercourse when I was about 13 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby. I freaked out, but it was quite a watery blood (maybe mixed with semen). I went to the hospital and they did a blood test which returned a very good reading. I was so worried but the bleeding didn't continue. The doctor and some internet research informed me that this kind of bleeding can by from 'polyps' which are like tiny little lumps or something at the base of the cervix. They are sensitive especially if aggravated during intercourse and can break causing a little bleeding.
If you don't know if you're pregnant yet you may be experiencing 'implantation' bleeding where the embryo is burying itself into the lining of your womb ready to start growing. Sometimes this can cause spotting. Or else it could be the polyps I was talking about above. Wait and do a test in a few days or whatever and see if you're pregnant. If the bleeding has stopped than you probably don't have anything to worry about I'd say!
hi, I had unprotected sex with my partner about 5 days ago and again tonight. This time after sex I had bled but once wiped away have not bled again. It was quite light, does this mean that i could be pregnant?
hi. i had sex last night unprotected and when i went to the bathroom directly after, i had a light brown spotting which has now turned into a bright bright red . i had just had my period a week and a half ago. granted this was the first time i had sex in 9 months. and he is very well endowed. does this mean i may be prego or what???????????? i have never bled such bright red nor have i ever bled after sex. any advice? words of wisdom?
Last month I had a cycle but it was very late which is unusual for me being that my cycle is usually around 26 days. Last month however, it was 32 days. I took a test and tested negative. Now, my period is due again and I have given my body the benefit of the doubt, it is now 35 days and my period is a no show. My breasts have been really tender but I don't want to take a test and risk being told no again? What does this sound like to you? Should I test again?
