Slightly bleeding after sex

Hello, there.

I've recently lost my virginity to my boyfriend. I'm 20 y/o and, before this, I hadn't have any kind of sexual experience. I started birth control (Belara) 14 days ago and had sex for the first time 11 says ago (we used a condom and he didn't come). It was very painful, he tried to be as gentle as possible and it still hurt a lot, yet I did not bleed. According to him, I'm really tight and he has some trouble getting in. As off today, we've had sex 6 times in a spam of week and a half. It still hurt but very little and it was being easier for him to get inside me, but the fourth time we did it hurt a lot more than it should have (considering that the other two times it hurt less and less) and the next morning I bled a little. After doing sone research, I thought I might have a small tear, since he was a little rougher and it felt like I had a tiny paper cut on my labia, which I read is actually common. The bleeding stopped a few hours after, but yesterday and today I bled again and it was a little more. I've been told by a friend and his sister that it is normal for this to happen for a while and that I might need to get used to his size, but since I'm new to all this I still wanted to ask. We always use a condom and he takes it off right after he comes. He thinks I might need to be mire wet and I considered the fact that maybe it was the condom brand, since he was using another one before the bleeding, but turns out we are now using the same one as the one I lost it with, so scratch that. Its not much blood but its more than just a little spotting. It also doesn't hurt after sex or itch at any moment. Peeing is also not a problem. I used pills before for 2 weeks to stop my period for a trip about 5 years ago and haven't used them until now. I read that new users also bleed a little, don't know if it could be my case.

Sorry for the long post and thanks ahead!!

The bleeding could also just be your hymen breaking which happens during the first time but it sounds like he didn't get in all the way till later so that could be it. That's what happened to me when I lost my verginity. Hope this helps
