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!

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.
