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!

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.
