Bleeding during sex

Firstly , I have massive health anxiety ! I am obsessed with my health , so i know this has not happened before as I always go to the loo straight after .

I am due on . It’s day 30 today and I usually have a 30/31 day cycle . I knew I was due any day , woke up yesterday with really painful breasts and needing the loo lots … I just knew it was imminent ( we do don’t we ! ) so I even had a pad on just in case . Had sex this afternoon and I bled during … not after , it happened during , TMI but it was messy for both of us 😕. It wasn’t a long session - it was very quick actually , maybe a min , ( but was a position that used to cause me pain and after speaking to my doctor I was told that it is likely because I have a tilted cervix ) . It wasn’t spotting - it’s blood just how it is when my period starts ( my periods just go straight in , there’s no gentle lead up 🤣 )

I never , ever bleed during or after sex . This has never happened before . TMI but we have had sex during my period before and this is what it looked like ! I am extremely confident that I would have started my period later today or in the morning … do you think it could be that it was due and with the position my cervix would be in at this point in my cycle , coupled with the position we had sex in , it’s my period starting ? Has anyone experienced this before? Before I fall into an anxiety hole ?

It sounds like you just started your period at that moment.

I don’t understand what you are anxious about? You started your period and happened to be having sex at that time?

Thank you . I know it sounds silly it’s just I have major health anxiety .

Howecer , since this happened I’ve now stopped bleeding . Admittedly , it was only 12 hours ago but I assumed I would just carry on so now I’m confused 😕 I have had stop start periods before though x
