Bleeding can become either more or less
intensive during menstruation. The
intensity of bleeding during menstruation
is individual and it seems normal that
your period would stop and start again
after intercourse. Nonetheless, sex during
a menstrual period is not recommended
because of the increased risk for
infection.
