How long before I stop bleeding after my first time?

[Anonymous]

I had sex Wednesday My bf is about 7 inches, it only hurt when he put it in, but the pain was more on the outside lips than anything. He got all the way in and it didn't hurt, it actually felt better when he was all the way in. He went SUPER hard (I told him to, it felt good) there was no pain during or after When i went to the bathroom though there was blood, it was bright blood orange/pink not like dark period blood (if that matters at all?) So im thinking its coming from the outside or just slightly inside I still have no pain, but i keep bleeding. Not to be gross but i went number two and i was dripping blood like a period and there was a small clot of it too (like two hrains of rice stuck togethers worth) So how long does this bleeding last? Could it be my hymen or maybe my opening tore (or something? I don't know haha) or something on the inside? Should I take special care of this? I want to wait until it stops to try having sex again.. Any stories about your first time like this? I'm freaking out, knowing im not alone in this would be a great comfort!! :(

I'm thinking you might have a little bit of tearing, either that or your hymen, I had the same thing happen to me. Like you, it hurt a bit at first then once I got used to the feeling, it didn't hurt anymore. I did end up bleeding that night for quite a while- I stuck a panty liner on for the night and the bleeding stopped by morning.

You said you had sex on Wednesday- today is Friday. If you're still bleeding, I would definitely consider going to the doctor. You shouldn't be consistently bleeding for that long.

I think its a tear on the outside of my vagina (like on the inner lips or something) because it only starts bleeding again when I go to the bathroom and wipe the area? Is that possible? If that's what it us do you think I should wait until everything is completely healed to try again?

The bleeding should stop with in minutes after sex is done. If you find you are consistently bleeding though out the night, you should have this looked at by a doctor. In general though, the bleeding after sex and pain and discomfort can take a good month to go away. My wife was a virgin when we started having sex. It was about 6 weeks before there was no more blood, and it started to feel really good. I would say we had sex about 8 times or so before it stopped.

Do you know where the blood was coming from? I don't understand what could be bleeding.. I really think its something on the outside, maybe every time I wipe after going to the bathroom I'm just opening whatever is bleeding up again?

Most likely your hymen tore, like it should.Do not have sex again until it heals.it is good that it stops in between bathroom trips.Don't wipe but pat the area to dry.keep it washed, but gently.The bright blood is fresh blood, coming from the outside.Try not to exercise too vigorously for about two weeks.When all is healed properly, you can let your BF try again slowly.If you still are bleeding in a day or two, you may have to see a doctor or nurse.

Normally an hour or so maybe overnight. But shouldn't last long

I bled for a good 24 hours. Just like a period. It was bright red and was almost like water. Everybody's bodies are different and if you don't feel any pain, odds are it's not tearing.
