I had a strange experience last weekend and I was wondering if anyone can help me. I guess first I should start out with the fact that my period skipped the month of January, it was supposed to come on the 17th. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative, and my period finally came Feb 8. It was normal, and it ended like normal.
Then as I was having sex for the third round in a night, my boyfriend stopped for a moment and realized that there was a lot of blood on him. He got up to go to the bathroom and I sat on the floor and realized I had gotten blood all over a pillow. Then I stood up and realized I had made a puddle of blood on the floor. Blood started to run down my legs and I hurried to the bathroom, panicking, and I had to sit on the toilet for quite some time, maybe an hour or so. I bled a lot. There wasn't really much pain, just slight pain, but that was mainly from soreness from the sex. It was a lot more blood than a period, and it was redder as well. I felt really weak and got pale, and the bleeding slowed up eventually but continued very lightly for the next few days.
I can't seem to find an explanation for this. It's never happened to me before. Granted the sex was rougher than what I'd been accustomed to, but I don't think it would cause this much bleeding. I didn't have tears or anything like that either. Does anyone have any answers? A friend of mine thinks it could have been a miscarriage, but I had gotten my period just before. What's going on? Thanks for your time!!

same thing, but different
hi there, i just wanted to let you know that the same thing happened to me .. today actually, i was quite nervous however, i put a black towel between my legs and decided to look something up online .. after figuring out that the same thing happened to you, i'm less nervous about the whole thing .. see what happened with me was, i was pleasuring myself with a new toy that i recently bought and it was the second time i used it .. i was feeling fine and then all of a sudden, i took one of my hands up for a second and it was covered in blood .. i had felt something hurt for a second because the toy slid out and i had pushed it back in but it hit around my clitoris area first and it kind of hurt .. the next thing i know, i'm in the bathroom on the toilet and i'm bleeding a mile a minute .. i was very scared and just like you said, the blood was redder than my period and i already got my period last week .. the same thing probably happened to us, i'm just not sure what .. but i think it might have had something to do with maybe cutting or tearing some part of your vagina .. just know that you're not going through this alone .. if anyone has any advice for either of us, it woud be much appreciated

Ahhh, that's relieving. So strange that someone else has had that happen too. But so far no one has been able to help me. I'm sort of wondering when my next period is going to be here, what it will be like or what?? It's strange though because I didn't have any pain like something got torn! Hmm.. Still waiting for help! someone?? Confused

The same this happened to me, exactly as you say the blood was much redder than a period and didn't have the same smell (crude!). Me and my boyfriend were both completely covered in blood and the bed sheets were saturated in parts. I'm very nervous as this is not the first time I have slept with him, it wasn't anymore violent and like you say there was no pain like it was tearing. I'm going to the doctors this afternoon and will update if i find an answer.

This exact same thing happened to me. It was a ton of blood, bright red, and wasn't my period. I had to throw my sheets and mattress pad away there was so much blood. It was just running down my legs and I had light bleeding for a couple days after. I didn't have any pain or anything, in fact we didn't even notice until we were done. It's happened a couple times over the past couple years. I went to my regular doctor for an exam and he didn't see anything out of the ordinary, so he referred me to a radiology lab for a pelvic ultrasound. I will post the results when I find out. So glad I'm not the only one... it was so embarrassing!

At least I am not alone Thanks!!
I too seem to be in the same boat. My experience happened just recently on Thursday Feb 4 with this guy I have just started to see months earlier. Around 10 minutes of some deep riding (which was not the first time I had ever done this) He noticed some red. When I got off the blanket was soaked with rich red blood. I didn't understand and still don't. There was no pain, no warning, I felt no different then I always feel. Plus I had had my period 10 days earlier. I went into the bathroom and everytime I wiped would be more blood, it was almost if I had gotten cut, but knew I was not. I was so embarassed, I proceeded to dress and walk home. The next morning I called and the doctor took a pap results pending. I think that it is important for me to mention that in late Dec I noticed a lump on my right groin that seemed to be getting really big and noticeable (looked like the collarbone on a thin person) and admitted myself to ER. Coincidentally the lump appeared around 3 days after we had protected sex with minutes of unprotected sex questions. I wondered if the condom had come off the last couple thrusts, because it was inside me when I got home. At the hospital ER they gave me 3 Xrays, cat scan and ultrasound, and sent me home with no answer yet not life threatening. Then I went to the Sex Health and got ALL the tests done and they all came back perfect. I went again to Xray dept and got an internal ultrasound and a full stomach untrasound. My doctor has sent me to the lab for 7 vials of blood and a urinalysis to be done just last week. Now this pap I just got on Monday has been the last thing done. I have also had a breathing test and a monitor hooked up to my chest and ankles. My blood pressure and pulse are always normal. EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS NORMAL!!! baffle Oh yeah and the lump went down. But I know that there is something wrong. It has never happened before and I hope it never happens again. It scares tme to even think of having sex again.

this happened to me yesterday and really freaked me and my partner out! we were having sex for maybe half an hour and he just popped to the loo, when he came back he was covered in blood. i went to have a look and i was too. nothing hurt at all and the sex wasnt particularly rough.it stopped overnight but all the blood looked like a massacre. i'm really scared to have sex again, and i'm way too embarrassed to see him again. What could cause it?

The same thing has happened to me three times with my new boyfriend. Its happened once before with another guy. Its not that I'm on my period, but when we have sex sometimes I start bleeding. Its never a TON, not what some of you have described. But its noticable and I certainly owe him a new pair of sheets. Glad to see I'm not the only one, but some answers would be nice. I'm going to the dr. next week!

Alot of bleeding during sex
This same thing has happened twice in a row now. The first time it happened it wasnt that heavy. then we did it again 2 days later and there was more blood. Not a ton like other people described it but i did get some on my sheets. I dont think it is my period because i had gotten off of it a few days earlier. I took one of those plan b pills a few days before my period came so then my period came late. I wonder if that plan b had anything to do with it? its so wierd and makes no sense.

Well I just went to see my doctor for the results of all those tests and for hopefully an answer to my problem and again there is nothing wrong they could see. I am perfectly healthy, just that I should drink less. How is that for mystery????

I would like to say I had the same problem, and it was beside it very painful in some moments. It happened to me 4 months ago with my boyfriend, when I looked down everything was in blood, but when we stopped intercourse it wasn''t painful anymore, but still bleeding very hard. The bleeding didn''t stop for 3 4 days, it was light. After that I got monhtly as expected. The doctor was just called by the mother of my boyfriend, and the doctor said it could be an early monthly, or if needed, that I should go to the doctors on check up. I refused to go to doctors, I prefered to wait for bleeding to stop. It wasn''t painful, but still bleeding, and it is very scary.
So I got my monthly, ans it passed, and I had sex with my boyfriend again, and again I got bleeding, even worse, huge, but this time we decided not to say anything about it, just wait for it to pass.
I have read what some women said, they took them to different kinds of tests, and doctors said nothing.
Don''t know what''s wrong with us.
I am just afraid not to have some serious damage in my uterus. I am only 18. Well was 17, 4 months ago.
It''s surely not normal for these things to happen...

*This also happened to me,I have Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) which means my period is basically absent every month and the walls of my ovaries are covered in cysts as i result I rarely bleed,that is why I was in shock to see so much blood...randomly!we didn't try anything different or have rougher sex so I know it can't be that.It was very embarrassing to go through because i had no explanation or warning!my boyfriend and I have been together for the last 2 years and this has never happened before, the blood was very red and afterward i felt weak nauseated and pale which made me want to take a pregnancy test??I have doctor appointments lined up this week so hopefully i will be able to come back with answer that will help anyone who is still concerned about their experience .I also noticed that when i wiped... blood clots were there so that concerned me the most.If anyone has any answers or recommendations for women with P.C.O.S please contact me!thank you for time and I apologize for my grammar mistakes i typed this very quickly.*
