Bleeding after intercourse? Please help!
Hi there, I'm an 18 y/o female and I have taken birth control ( Kariva -- to be specific) since I was 15 to treat PCOS. About a month ago, I had intercourse and afterwards I bled heavily and had cramps for a week. I should not have gotten my period for another two weeks according to my pills. When I took the pills that started my period, It was very light and ended two days early. We used a condom but I'm scared. I've been constipated, had thicker vaginal discharge, and pain in the left and right sides of my abdomen. Why did I bleed? Why am I having weird symptoms now? Could I be pregnant? Am I just freaking myself out? If any one could answer these questions it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I just saw the date of this post and realize it was from awhile ago, so I hope everything turned out fine. I wanted to give some advice about PCOS. I was diagnosed with it when I was about 19 years old and was put on Metformin to help regulate my cycles and get my hormones and weight under control. In that time, I had horrible cramps from the polycystic ovaries. I would spot pretty regularly after each time having sex as well. My Gynocologist told me that I had a very sensitive cervix and my partner could have added to some of the pain as well. Sex was painful for me until I found the right partner and positions while having PCOS.
