:(See story starts here I was Masturbating and earlier today I did and did not bleed, but it seems as its night time I then began to bleed not a little bit but kind of a lot like as if my period was starting lets just say enough to cover my fingers. Its kind of sore but I thought I might have cut myself shaving a few nights ago but no bleeding. Last month I got my period on the 11th could it be that my period is starting early or could it be serious? I'm not sure I have been having an odor to my discharge but its white not yellow. Sometimes it gets a light yellow tint to it but I thought it was normal because the last time I went to my doctor they said it could be a possible yeast and when I treated it it went away and now seems to be back. I'm just curious is it a symptom of an std? Or I'm not sure because I'm 17 years old and I'm thinking of having sex with my boyfriend soon I am not a virgin this just has never happened to me before. I'm thinking I might just be worried because the last guy I was with had BEEN around and I just recently found that out so I don't want to pass anything to him or anything and I know I used condoms all the time but I think the last time was one time I didn't and I'm scared.

HELP!

I think you should definetely take a trip to gyn. Unless you are on your period (light or heavy), you should be bleeding. Maybe you are masturbating too vigorously. I'm not sure. I hope that you did in fact use protection with your last boyfriend. If you didn't use condoms, you should get tested for everything because "you just never know"- as well as getting an HPV shot.

Get yourself checked asap. STD's only get worse if left untreated.

As regards the bleeding it doesn't sound right to me, unless in fact you are menstruating. A professional's advice is needed here!
