Bleeding after losing virginity/sex

Unread post by Ineedfacts »

I NEED HELP

So I lost my virginity on the 18/12/2017. I haven’t been keeping track of my period but 5 days later on the 23/12/2017 (while casually masturbating in the shower) a lot of bright blood came out. And I look on my underwear and I noticed I was bleeding. I just thought this was my period and stuck a tampon in. But the next day (24/12) I had a pad on for the whole day and it was very light and brown. Then Christmas Day, I didn’t get anything all day and I still haven’t. (26/12) please help. I think I’m pregnant but I don’t know if that’s just because I lost my virginity and I’m nervous. My boobs aren’t sore. I’ve had mild back pain and my sense of smell is normal. HELP ME

We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family
