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!

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 normal to bleed after your first. It should last up to about a week or more.

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.
