bleeding after sex

I am a 36 yr old women and have been married for 17 years with 3 children. I am been having some lower abdomen cramping and some back pain for about 3 months. This morning my husband and I had sex....nothing too rough and after we were done I started bleeding. I am very scared something is seriously wrong with me and I don't know what could be the problem. Could it be cancer? Could it be nothing? Should I be worried/scared. Could I have an STD?

Everything is OK. All of my tests came back normal. The dr. thinks that we might have aggrivated something during intercourse. So everything should be fine. Thanks for the support. I was really afraid. Thanks again.

sorry, i was so taken aback by the response of the last post that i forgot to TRY to answer you. this seems to be quite common (bleeding after sex). i have seen many posts about this. when was your last obgyn appt? it could be a lot of things..period on its way, ovarian cysts, fibroids, any new meds you are on? birth control pills? give your dr. a call and let him/her know of your concerns. tell them just what you said here in the post. often times they may have a midwife,triage nurse to help answer your concerns over the phone. if they feel its something they will want you to come in. whatever it is, dont ignore it because your body is trying to fill you in on something. its best to get checked right away so something can be done then to wait (and be scared sick). our bodies change so much as we.. "et hemm" get older (im 36). so try to relax and give a call tomorrow ok?  let us know.
