First time unprotected sex after we've been careful for long - what is causing the bleeding?

A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Last night my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex for the first time. We've been together for almost 2 years and we've always been very careful. I'm on birth control. We've always used a condom up until last night. And I never had unprotected sex before..EVER.

Though since last night.. I've been bleeding. Not heavy. Just spotting here and there. And its making me scared. Is it possible that the friction from sex without a condom is causing me to bleed? Or could it be something more serious?

deejuliet agony auntI highly doubt that pregnancy is causing you to bleed as the other poster suggested. Pregnancy does not generally cause bleeding and you would be all of a few hours pregnant anyway. Plus you are on other birth control, right? The condom was the secondary birth control, not the only so I think the suggestion that you are bleeding because you got pregnant last night to be sillly.

I agree that the unaccustomed friction could be more likely. Or, sometimes when on the pill there is light spotting between cycles. This could be totally unrelated to the sexcapades last night. Have you ever spotted before? Usually this happens within the first few months of starting the pill or changing to a new pill. Or do you use some other method of birth control? I dont know if spotting is common with the patch or ring or anything else. If you continue to bleed or if it gets worse you should go see your doctor. If it just last today and stays very light I dont think I would be too concerned.

It's unlikely that you're pregnant if you're taking the contraceptive pill unless you've missed a few.

The bleeding is more likely to be caused by the start of a period than friction unless he was extremely rough with you, and I would have thought that at your age you would have been plenty wet enough if you were really into it so friction shouldn't have caused it. If in doubt, see your doctor.
