bled in sex

i am 16 and i had sex for the frist time and i looked down in the middle and i saw that i was bleeding...i ran to the bathroom and the flow would not stop...i was so scared i was shacking...my boyfriend came to the door and ask if i was okay and i said i dont know. i found some pads and put one on by then it has slowed down alot. my boyfriend took me to the store to get pads and i called a friend to see if she knew anything about this. she did not but since i slowed down alot she said to call her in about an hour and tell her what was going on. i beld that night and it was stoping by morning. its been over a week and i get little cramps and i will spot know and then. my periods have been off the ast three months they have been anywhere from 1 to 4 days long when i was a week. i have not had a period since that night and i am scared of what happend and what to come. i dont know much about this.

When you have sex for the first time, if you bleed, it  just means your hymen popped, you didnt get your period. It's normal for it to happen, from pressure in a certen place. I popped mine horseback riding. Dont worry. and its painful at first but then it feels good like a week later

"what if you dont bleed the first timeu have sex? "
Some females have very thin hymens or it stretch during sports and stuff ...sooo it's normal not to bleed at all.

But yeah also some ladies have thick hymens thats way it bleeds and hurts when having sex for the first time, it hasn't been streched out. but you should talk to a doctor about it. You'll feel alot better

I lost my virginity at 16 too and I didn't bleed the 1st 2 times but bled heavily the 3rd time. My sheets were covered with blood and my boyfriend and I were freaking out. It just took 3 times of having sex I guess to break my hymen. Good luck. You should be a little more explicit in your post though in terms of timelines as JoannaRF just stated. I am very confused if you just had sex and are late for your period or what's really going on.

It was kind of hard to understand when this happened. Was it like a week ago? Or several months ago? If your periods have been late or different since the experience then you really need to see your doctor and take a HPT. Did you use protection? The decision to become sexually active means that you also have to be mature and take the responsibility of protecting yourself. As you have learned (the hard way) it is a BIG decision and also scarey. Please be careful and maybe talk to your mom or a sister? You really do need to start having regular check-ups with a Gynocologist. Also part of the responsibility of making adult choices.
The bleeding during and after sex was probably normal but like the other poster said, if it happens the next time then you really do need to have it checked out.
Please, BE CAREFUL!!

"popping the cherry" happens to pretty much every girl on their first time. Some get a little blood and some get A LOT.

I agree with iluvu02.  Happened to me, so I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens the next time you have intercourse.

Most women do bleed during their first time having sex.  It's because you break your hymen.  My periods in middle and high school were completely off never knew when they were coming but since I am in college they are normal now, so it might just take awhile for you body to start having normal periods.  If you are worried about that and maybe since you are sexually active now you can go to your local health department (don't have to notify your parents) and you can get free birth control there.  As long as you are in school, you can get free exams and whichever birth control you want.  I would recommend the nuvaring.  It's what I've liked the best out of the pill and patch.  I tried the pill in high school and it was too hard to remember becuase whenever I was on breaks from school my schedule changed.  But you can tlak to the dr. about what is best for you.  Good Luck!

Have you seen a gynocologist?  it's always best to start seeing a gyno regularly when you turn 18 AND/OR when you start having intercourse.  The bleeding that happened during your first sexual experience is not uncommon.  I bled my first time too, I'm sure many other woman here might have also.  As far as your period being so off months later, you might want to take a home pregnancy test just to rule that out if you are scared about telling your parents or anything.  You might also want to think about birth control now that you are sexually active.  However, there is no substitute for talking to a doctor about you problems and I'm sure everyone would agree.  You will be way less stressed if you at least talk to you doctor about your symptoms.  It could very well just be a prolonged reaction to having sex for the first time. Oh, make sure that you are using protection. I hope that helps.
