a Few Questions
Posted: 08-01-07 10:05am

Ok, I have a few questions to aks and I hope you guys will answer them all!!!!!, ha I am 16

Let me just start at the top. About 3 weeks ago in the shower i was fingering my girlfriend and all of the sudden i noticed blood on my fingers!? I was not going rough or too fast or anything out of the usual. she got embarrassed but was comfortable enough with me we talked it out. it was not her period. SO we figured maybe she was not sexually excited enough, maybe i fingered her and maybe made her bleed a little, forgot about it and moved on.

Now this Month She has not had a period? I am almost 99% sure she is not pregnant because we have not had sex in the past month, and even when we did i was no where close to having an orgasm(been having some erection problems i just cant seem to get over)

Next on top of all this She has pain when I try to put a finger in her vagina, A LOT of pain could this be due to the fact that she is not lubricated enough? Its never happened before?


SO here are My Questions

1.What could have caused the unexplained bleeding?



2.She has not had a period, but yet bled once(could this be her period?)

3.IF she went to get the pain checked out would the doc be able to tell if she is a virgin?(Her family is way religious, and if her parents found out she was messing around she would probably be disowned!!!!) And could she ask her doctor about the bleeding and everything without causing complications? (Her saying she is a virgin, making the doctor rule out the possibility of the things that could be wrong with her cause she isn't a virgin?)

Please PLEASE PLEASE!!!! Answer all my questions I need answers fast so we can be safe and solve this.

Thanks Guys!!!

when i went to my first OBGYN appt. i made my mom stay in the lobby so i could go back by myself (its kind of a private thing)
the doctor asked if i was sexually active..and i told him yes..
he explained to me that everything is confidential unless i tell him otherwise or if there is some serious medical problem that my parents need to be aware of..

so her going to the doctor, she needs to tell the whole truth...
and it will be kept confidential...unless there are serious medical problems

Doctors can not tell if a woman is a virgin or not.

This is back from an old myth that all women have hymens that get broken the first time they have sex.
It isn't true.

1. not all women have a hymen to begin with.
2. those with a hymen can tear or stretch it by playing sports, inserting tampons, horseback riding - or a millionother things.

so unless you tell your doctor that you are not a virgin they can not tell - unless of course there is seminal fluid in the vagina.
I would say pregnancy - but you can get pregnant without having had intercourse - but that's a whole other post.

It's really common for someone to bleed after sex, fingering, whatever because the vaginal wall can easily be scratched (especially by fingernails) and in the heat of the moment you might not realize it. It could've been that, it could've been her period. As long as it's not really profuse bleeding, there's nothing to worry about.

What are you using as birth control when you do have sex? Because even if you do not orgasm in her, she can still get pregnant. I just wanted to make sure you knew that.

If you go to a doc, she can leave her mom outside (which she will want to do anyway because it's really awkward if you don't) and tell the doctor privately. It is important to tell the doc the truth, and the doc will not tell her parents. He will also likely prescribe her with birth control at this point, if she wants it, because she is having sex. If she doesn't want her mom to know that, she can convince her that it is to regulate her periods (which is a perfectly legitimate reason, especially for her right now) or something else, like to lessen cramps, reduce acne, whatever. All good reasons.

Every woman should start going to the gyno once she is sexually active.

No, a doc can't tell if you're a virgin unless you have stds or are pregnant or something. But in this case, it will be important to tell the doc about her sexual history, because it may matter.

Anytime sex is painful, you should get it checked out.

Thanks to all your replys!!!

especially yours Georgia

I use a condom as birth control but soon we will have pills.

If she was pregnant wouldnt there be more signs than a missed period by now?

also update I fingered her last night with no pain whatsoever , so I believe it was just not "wet" enough

I know this is off topic from my own topic, but I have been having erection problems and again I am 16. I know its not physical because I get erections all the time it just seems not at the right times hah. Any advice anyone has to overcome the psychological part of it besides just saying (just forget about it, relax, just clear your mind) something a little more helpful and specific?

There's a lot about erection problems on the men's sexual health forum. You would probably get better answers there if you asked.

Pregnancy doesn't necessarily have symptoms other than a missed period right away, especially because a lot of early pregnancy symptoms are just like pms symptoms. So it's hard to decipher.

It really doesn't sound like pregnancy is your concern- but if it is, home pregnancy tests are pretty cheap!
