Hi all, new here and I’m hitting you all with a bit of a stinker. I’ve got a dilemma, well not so much a dilemma more of a concern. I was with my ex for over 20 years. We split up. I didn’t have sex for two years, didn’t have the time. I then met a lovely guy, we spent lots of time together, got on well, ended up having sex and I bled. I was mortified. I didn’t realise I was bleeding until he mentioned it. Honestly I just wanted the ground to swallow me up. The sex was spontaneous and not much foreplay was had so I assumed it was a tear. I kind of distanced myself from this guy but we have recently started meeting up again. I know we will end up having sex again and I am petrified that I may end up in the same situation again. I’m up to date with my smears and not long ago had an ultrasound on my uterus which came back clear. Anyone else had this happen after a period of celibacy? Sorry for oversharing guys, just want to know if someone else has had this happen 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks ☺️

@Pinkfuzzyoctopus Since you have no other problematic symptoms of menopause, aks your GP for low dose topical oestrogen (so it would just be for your vulva) - it's for vaginal dryness and the like. Can be massively helpful, then as others have mentioned lube.
