Hi, I'm 18 years old and yesterday I had intercourse for the first time... once I got up to go shower, I noticed that I was bleeding. Today, I am still bleeding and the bleeding is like I'm on my cycle but I'm not. Is this normal?

[danielnoahsmommy]

I had a similar thing as well. Turned out I had a cervical polyp. If I were you I would go to my obgyn

[student_worker2]

Was it really bad?

[danielnoahsmommy]

It was heavy crampy with blood clots.

Omg I'm never havnig sex again... this really sucks and I don't know how I'm going to go to the doctor without my parents all in my business... this really sucks

[danielnoahsmommy]

Go to planned parenthood. They can examine you without your parents knowing. And since you have a problem discussing sex with your parents perhaps it is better for you to wait until you are old enough to handle all of your medical needs on your own.

I don't think that shrveport has one of those... and it's not that I have a problem talking to them about it... it's just the fact that they judge me an dmy siblings too much

I don't mean to sound dumb, but what about where all girls bleed after there first time. Called "Popping the Cherry" I seem dumb for saying that. Now, I'm not a girl so I don't know how long you bleed for either, so you still might want to get checked out!

[student_worker2]

I kind of thought about that but I don't know... if it doesn't stop by Monday then I'll go to the doctor

[adam_89]

Yea, you should deffinately go if it is still bleeding then. You just might want to wait and see. Maybe if it is still tomorrow!

[student_worker2]

I wonder if there are clinics open on the weekend?

[adam_89]

I believe there are walk-in-clinics open on saturdays. I think maybe until 1 or so. At least around here. They should be able to do everything there.

[student_worker2]

I hope so... because I know he doesn't have anything because he's in the army and they check for all of that... so maybe it is the "popping the cherry" type thing

[adam_89]

More than likely I would say that is what it is. It happens to every girl. I don't think if he had anything it would cause you to bleed.

[student_worker2]

Now see... why when I talk to females about this type of stuff I get scared to death... but with you I'm now more confident and positive about the situation... thanks

[danielnoahsmommy]

The bleeding is from tearing your hymen. Although you may be bleeding a bit much for that to be so.. maybe it just brought about your period a little early.

[adam_89]

No problem! Guys don't over do everything.

[student_worker2]

Okay I'm scared again... because I already had my period this month

[student_worker2]

Well they do sometimes... lol

[danielnoahsmommy]

Don't be scared. It's most likely normal. Relax and when you have a chance stop in to see a doc. It is not an emergency. You need to relax. It is most likely what adam said.
