Bleeding after sex, really worried, just want to eat cake.

[ClaireDeLoon]

I wonder if anyone can help/has had similar/say anything soothing at all.

For the last two months I have had bleeding after sex, quite heavy bleeding (not period heavy but more than spotting) and a mix of red and brown blood. Last cycle it was one bleed that lasted 4 days, right in the middle of my cycle. This month it happened a day or so after sex again the middle of my cycle.

So I went to the doctors he has booked me in with the nurse this Friday for I think smear and swabs and also him to do a quick internal examination. He said not to have sex again because if I'm bleeding it won't work. Except we did on Saturday night and I started bleeding again yesterday.

I googled mid cycle bleeding and bleeding after sex and I've got myself really worried. I know its a case of doing the right thing getting it checked out but I really am scared.

Two things really worry - the swabs I assume are to check for some sort of STD what if I have had an STD for years and it has ruined my reproductive system? There is one STD that can do that isn't there? We're ttc number one and have been for 21 months so this worries me.

Secondly what if it is more serious, I mean really serious

At lunchtime I consoled myself with a comfort shop in L'Occitane and now I think a cupcake with lots of frosting may cheer me up.

Actually I just feel better for typing all that out.

Have just had a scan, which found nothing that could be causing my bleeding.I have one small fibroid which wouldn't cause the problems I'm having and isn't anything to worry about, no polyps found and ovaries fine. He also said I have a bicornate womb, which means its partially divided. Does anyone know anything about this? I think I will start a seperate thread.

My smear came back fine.

So:

No STD or infection
No UTI
A very small cervical erosion that wouldn't be causing the bleeding in the opinion of the consultant.
A very small fibroid that wouldn't be causing the bleeding in the opinion of the doctor scanning me.
No polyps that could be seen.
All clear from the smear.

So what is causing this? Anyone any idea?

Hi Claire...did u ever find out what the problem is? I"m experiencing something very similar

I have experienced similar thing - bleeding after sex. I worried a lot since i read all kind of stuff in internet. Went to the doctor (a few doctors actually just to make sure) and it turned out everything was fine. So don't worry and don't overthink - i am not saying to neglect your health but don't stress much as well because pretty often there is nothing to worry about.

Hi I was just getting a little worried as it’s never happened before but I’ve just finished my period and had sex and I’m bleeding again, does this mean something is wrong or the sex brought my period back on??

Old thread - 2009

I know I don’t really know how to use this sorry 🙈

Peanutxx, open this General Health board again and you should see New Thread at the top. A box will open for the thread title etc, and you can post your question there. I hope this is enough info - it can be different on different devices.
