Hey everyone. I'm really hoping that anyone else who has experienced bleeding after sex can advise me.
On Friday morning I had sex with my husband and afterwards found that I'd bled. Sorry to be TMI but it was mostly brown with a bit of red in it but it was not what I'd call spotting, but still not a gush. As I've said I have mentioned this before and the last time was August of last year and I know this has happened to me in the past (pre HA) and I would put it down to being due on in the next few days.
What's freaked me this time is that it happened on day 23 of my cycle and so 5 days before I'm due on! Has anyone else had bleeding after sex that many days before a period is due?? I've had a tiny bit of brown spotting since Friday but no signs of my full period yet. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this. Also I would love to know what is meant by 'heavy bleeding' when on your period? My last period was a bit heavier than normal and while it didn't worry me at the time, now I'm wondering. I wasn't soaking through a pad in a hour or anything, but it was definately heavier than normal for the first three days.
Just for info, I'm 36 and do not use any kind of contraceptive since my husband had the snip after our third child and not much before then either. My last smear was in Sept 08 which came back normal and I had a pelvic scan in December and that was fine too.
