Bleeding after first time sex- how long is normal?

[kristin14]

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!

It is normal, it was a long time ago that I lost my virginity but if I recall correctly I know I bleed afterwards and then spotted for a few days.

[AllConfused]

Yeah its normal. Well it was for me. After my wedding last year, I had sex for the first time and I bleed for awhile and spotted for a couple of days after. We were pretty scared too but it ended after the 2nd time we had sex. Hope all works out for you.

[kristin14]

Thanks. I think deep down I know that there's nothing wrong, but still. I thought that maybe because I'm a bit older than the average girl losing her virginity that the discomfort and blood might escape me!

yep its normal but i dunno y ur bleeding 4so long?? it happened 2me 2 but it was away in the mornin

Yes - it was a long time ago for me also but everyone usually remembers their first -it's hard to forget because of such instances as what you are experiencing now. Congrats on waiting until you are ready (never mind the age - you waited until you were ready and that's what's important!). As for the bleeding - it's absolutely normal on and off for a few days and because you went for quite a while (that is it wasn't just over in a few minutes!) it possibly caused some friction and agitation on your vagina which could also be why you are in some discomfort. This is also normal in women who haven't had sex for a long time or have it infrequently. Whatever the main thing is that it's all normal and let me just say "welcome to the club"! You and your boyfriend will settle into a great rhythm and you'll come to understand a new part of yourself and him also! Oh I remember what I was going to say...you might like to keep a little bit of lubricant around when using condoms because sometimes you might find you need it as the lube on the condoms can come off and this causes further friction if you are not lubricated enough. Good luck and have fun!

[kristin14]

Thank you everyone for the support! Looking back, I think lack of lubrication was probably part of the problem! I also maybe should have tried it for a little bit and not 2 hours.

I'm feeling much better these past few days, though I am still a tiny bit tender.

Again, thanks for the support!

[AprilK14283]

Thanks for posting that btw because I'm 16 and had first time sex with my boyfriend last night and I bled like I thought I would but I was still spotting today and didn't know what was a normal time for it to stop.

It's really comforting to know that I'm not a freak and that the bleeding is normal.
Thank you loads.

[pearl10]

Im 19 and my boyfriend and I had protected sex on Sunday. I bled right after a little bit. Then the next day (Monday) I spotted. Tuesday (Today), it was a little heavier than spotting, a bit like my period with the stomach cramps and back pain. I am suppose to start my period on Wednesday because of my birth control. Am okay? Is the spotting and bleeding normal after sex and right before I am suppose to start my period? Is there any possible way I could be pregnant!? Please help. Thanks gals!

its normal and its nothing to be embarssed about girl..... its fine it happends to everyone.... the first few times will hurt and after a while it doesnt anymore so good luck and have fun lol

[gooday]

Okay girl the exact same thing is happening to me! and I have been freaking out but from what I've researched it's supposed to be normal. But does anyone know how long it's supposed to last? and when can you have sex again?

[fashion77]

the same thing happened to me. I had sex with my boyfriend for the third time last night and this morning i woke up with some spot bleeding. My period doesnt come for another three weeks. I did spot bleed the first time i had sex, but nothing again untill this morning. Should i be worried at all?

[Jasmine205]

Maybe because it was your boths first time together etc he went a bit to rough or deep in you and that why your bleeding last for awhile.. Have him going slower next time, make it last longer too..

[silvia89]

im 19 and i had sex for the time 2 days ago..until today i just spotted but today i had blood like it was my period..my period for this month ended 5 days ago..im so worried.should i see a doctor?

[Jasmine205]

If you are heavy flow bleeding and it worries you, yes..go to the doctor. Don't make yourself feel scared about whats happening, it's better to find out right away.

this **** is fuked up

i am sixteen and i lost my virginity two days ago. Yesterday morning i woke up and was still bleeding a little, and i was extremely scared because i didn't know if it was normal or not. That night we tried again but as soon as my boyfriend tried to enter me it hurt and i asked him to pull out, and found it was bleeding again. Does this mean that i have to wait to heal a little longer before we try again or is it possible that something is wrong?

[StephFaith]

I'm 17 and me and my boyfriend had sex last night for the first time. But we did it twice (he's such a lucky man lol) We waited about 3 horus to do it again. The first was really uncomfortable and i didn't know i was bleeding until a point where he pushed to hard and i asked him to pull out. That's when i saw blood on the condom. I knew i would bleed the first time so i wasn't worried at all. But 3 hours later we tried again and this time he went really fast...faster then i expected him too. I didn't ask him to stop although it hurt a few times where he just pushed too far...(sorry if this is too much info.) but it felt too good and i didn't want him to stop. Afterwards when he came and pulled out there was blood all over the condom....more then before. I was really worried and went into the bathroom right away. It didn't look like i bled as much that time but i could have been wrong. Then this morning when i woke up and went to the bathroom i noticed i was still bleeding....just barely though....it's pracitcally pink. But i want to know if this is normal or if i should get checked out.
Any ideas?

[carlyd13]

hey i lost my virginity yesterday and i bled too, it was pretty shocking but its perfectly normal to bleed because after all the hymen is just another part of the body with blood vessels. after a few days it should go away i mean i've still got a few spots of blood appearing but its thinning now.

i'm 17 btw. and at first the pain was quite bad well i had to ask him to stop then i realised it was because we should have had more lubrication hahahah he even ran half a mile to boots to get more things :P but after that and we were more prepared it was less painful, and it was less uncomfortable. i'll probably have a 2nd tomorrow when i am staying over his so i will write about it i hope the pain will not be as bad as before if there is any at all :) hope this helped a little if at all .
