Last night my SO was doing the deed on me with his fingers, he has done this PLENTLY of times before (3 years worth), he was not rough or hurting me or anything ddifferent but just as I was about to move I noticed his fingers were a bit pink- I was bleeding!! WTF???
Now, I am a virigin and I could swear I have lost my hymen a few years ago when a HUGE clot about the size of a tennis ball came out of me during a period once that was so painful I assume it ripped in the process so I don’t think it’s that.
So I’m assuming he has cut me although I was not in pain, there was enough blood mixed with vaginal fluid to make it a bit seethrough/redish and I put a tampon in after to see how much was in there, it covered the top of the tampon enough for me to worry a bit and then I checked again this morning and it was a bit brown/red gooey on the tampon.
Just now I have had dark brown gooey discharge come out, is this just old blood??
NOTHING has come out on my undies, only when I stick something up to check if it’s still bleeding..
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow lunch time but am freaking out I will get an infection overnight or something..??

Are you 100% positive you’re not starting your period? That’s kind of what it sounds like to me…glad you’re getting a professional opinion though!

@AwkwardQuestions: It could be that you didn’t lose your hymen when you thought you did ETA I’ve never heard of loosing it because of a heavy flow, I am pretty sure that that’s not even possible. Or he could have nicked you with a fingernail.
Definitely good you’re going to see the doc, but try not to worry too much!

@pinkshoes: This is a good point. I had the same problem, had light bleeding for three weeks on the pill. The changed to a higher dose.
@londonchick: Sometime’s it’s used for painful periods or regulating them not just contraception.

@londonchick:
I used to have VERY heavy, horrible periods that last 10 days+ and the new pill I am on is reducing the volume and length of my period.
We are looking to get married within the next 2 years or so and I wanted to make sure I didn’t gain weight/had a reaction to a pill before a wedding if it ever happens so my Dr thought why not put me on a pill right now. She was also confused as to why I wasn’t using any form of birth control for my age even though I am not looking into having sex at the moment- I am 20

Your cycle may not be regulated yet so it could easily be menstrual loveliness. You can’t do anything till you see the Dr. so unless you get in even earlier I would just monitor and maybe take some notes to describe the colour/thickness of discharge and try to keep busy otherwise.
Good luck.

@ladyartichoke:
that’s what I thought but he wasn’t doing anything apart from normal so that is why I am SO confused, why would i bleed?!
I am very scared of infection but I talked to a pharmacist on the phone today and she said it should heal itself and not bother going to see a doctor but I am going to anyway.

@Snow00774:
I thought maybe yes it could be my period but there has been no ‘fresh’ blood since over 24 hours ago so I think it’s just from the cut but still scary!

You’re fine. I really really really doubt you’re “cut”. But birth control has a zillion side effects and bleeding from it is 100% normal. You probably just need to change your dose. You’re not going to get an infection. You’re fine. 🙂 Ask the doctor, but don’t freak out. Its really unlikely there’s anything wrong.

You probably just got a small abrasion. It happens. Don’t worry about infection– your body will take care of itself. Just watch for anything else unusual. 🙂
