I had penetrative sex for the first time ever with my boyfriend two weeks ago. Yesterday my peroid was finishing (hadn't had any blood for at least 18 hours) so i thought it was alright to try again for the seccond time.
The first time I believe my hymen was broken a bit? There was a bit of blood, but otherwise it was enjoyable, this time less so. there was a significant amount of blood, comparable to day 2 of my peroid? i'm confused, my friend says i may have a tear, i feel fine- not dizzy or anything. but it my vagina does hurt. its worth noting my boyfriend is above average and im especially tight. but the bleeding came in waves, seemed to be triggered by the penetration. do i need to see a doctor? is this going to damage me? Help!

Re: Bleeding after sex, how much is too much?
Hymens don't typically break or rip. Instead, they gradually erode over a lifetime, and bleeding usually isn't involved.
Bleeding with intercourse generally is something that happens with things like injury from sexual assault, or if/when a partner is very rough, isn't using lube as needed, when the receptive partner is anxious or nervous instead of turned on and relaxed, and/or isn't listening to their receptive partner when it comes to what is or isn't feeling good for them and adjusting what they are doing to what feels good for that partner.
Do any of those things sound like things that were in play for the intercourse you two have had?
