dh and i had full sex for the first time ast night in over a year (he needed circumcising so it was painful but he's been done now)

Well i went for wee afterwards and when i wiped there was a little bit of blood. Same again this morning but now it's stopped

I'm due on next week and just assumed it was a coincidence and i'd come on early but now it's stopped i am soooooooo confused!!!! What could it be and why???

This is not unusual, or necessarily worrying, I have a ectropic cervix which often spots for 24 hours after sex.
If you are concerned see your GP.

sorry norks - what does ectropic cervix mean?

Its when, normally after childbirth, some of the womb lining cells begin to grow on the outside of your cervix. It looks like a red area on vaginal examination, and is a common cause of post coital bleeding( according to my Gynae).

Of course you just have been over excited after a long period of abstinence

I personally wouldn't fret over a one off episode, but if it happens again, maybe se your GP for reassurance

Technically you had post-coital bleeding and should be checked out by GP.
Agree with norks, usually due to ectopic cells, and nothing to worry about but should get checked - as a routine, do not panic about it .

thanks for the explaination and the reassurence - is very much appreciated at over excited def an understatement
