Welcome to Gaia! ::

Edit: I've gotten all the information and input I initially sought, thanks to everyone who posted.



If this is in the wrong place, delete it, I wont mind.

Alright, in my years on Gaia and in the LI I have not run across anything like this before, so I ask for the wisdom the lot of you posess in order for me to recieve assistance. I've already gone through all the links on gaia and used google to no avail.

Please do not question or comment about my age. I am mature enough to deal with the consequences of my actions. Don't read this if you're going to be immature either.



I started having sex a few months ago only during my period. It hurts a bit because well, I was a virgin and my partner's p***s is rather large. I have long periods that last from 8-10 days, and mine just ended about a week and a half ago. My issue is that after having sex on monday, I've been bleeding ever since, today is wednesday. Is this normal? I've been stressed and such lately, and such and havn't had sex many times yet.

I know my cycle is kinda weird, and it changes every month, but has anyone had anything similar happen to them?

Thanks in advance.

It is a long time for bleeding to last, but I'm okay with that. My mom had the same problems when she was my age with that.

A smart girl I am, we even know how to use them properly. Its not so painful because we do use a lube, just the bleeding afterwords that happened this time bothers me.

I might just be stressed, we'll see. Also, my cycle is pretty weird, so it could have changed to match my friend's who are on thier period right now.

Thanks for the advice, I hate doctors, so that's a last resort =]

I agree with Chalda. I have an abnormal cycle as well, but I haven't had sex yet so I dont know what it could be. I know doctors suck, but i advise you go to one, just in case.

If the bleeding is a growing matter of concern, it is best you go and see a docter. Bleeding for 8-10 days is a bit unusual. Not necesarily something to panic about, however it is wise you see a docter to make sure that everything is alright.

I got on bc cause it helps my period come every 4 weeks its liek clock work i change my new patch on sunday and and i take off the old one on sunday and I start on wednesday! And then i put on my new patch on and my periods done by monday or early tuesday

I'm highly agreeing with Reivena here. She has said pretty much everything I was gonna say.

I just want to re-emphasize that having sex during your period is NOT a reliable form of birth control (assuming that's why you're doing it). And condoms, even when used properly, can certainly fail. And seeing a doc is really the ONLY way you're gonna find out what's going on.

Not to rant, but I get tired of seeing all these younger females complain and worry over some feminine problem, and then REFUSE to go to a doctor because "doctors are icky" or "I'm too embarrassed" or "I don't like doctors." Get over it. There's only so much info you can find out on your own. There's only so much your mom, friends, or random people on the internet can tell you. The ONLY surefire way to have a trustworthy, accurate, and definitive answer is to have a doctor examine you.

Does an examination suck? Yes. Is it uncomfortable? Yes. But then again, so is bleeding for 8 to 10 days. If you truely care about your body, then seeing a doctor would be an obvious solution.

Ranting aside, I also still bleed from sex from time-to-time. And I've been sexually active for YEARS now, and I have had two children. I went and got examined for it. Turns out, I just have VERY sensitive tissue on the inside and it's prone to tearing or ripping easily. Nothing major, but at least I know what the problem is and no longer fret and worry over it.

I also used to have crazy periods as well. And, like so many others have mentioned already, birth control helped regulate that. But you cannot get birth control without seeing a doctor.

I hope you see where I'm going with this.....

The only reason I have had sex during my period is because I've only done it about 3 times and the two first times just happened to be when I was having my period, it was in no correlation to getting pregnant. I use other forms of birth control.

Anyway, I've been offline for a few days, and my bleeding stopped. Turns out it was an irregular period, I wasn't too worried about this, just seeing if it was something that had happened to anyone else. I don't know any other people who do what I do, for whatever moral, emotional or other reasons, so I was basicly looking for some people with similarities.

I'm seeing my doctor this week anyway. I even talked ot my mom about it, and she said I shouldn't think anything of it.

I was stressed out, and as it appears the majority of the people I go to to school with, at an all-girls school, started thier period on monday. My body just decided to go with everyone's hormones for a few days.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Not trying to necro a resolved thread, but I had to comment. My periods *do* tend to sync up with other females (and vice versa) when I am around them long enough.... like for days or weeks at a time. It must have something to do with hormones or pheramones or something. We women-folk have some strange physical attributes, ne?
