My boyfriend and I are extremely careful having sex. Well, we've only had actual vaginal sex twice (after a long and extremely thought out pros and cons on my part, I'm 21 years old). Regardless, we use condoms and I don't allow ejaculation during vaginal intercourse.
It's been about a week since I last had my period, I believe it stopped on Monday (May 31st) and we had sex on Friday the 6th. Today, I went to the restroom and had a good deal of blood -- not brown or spotting, dark and clotted looking like it normally does on the start of my period. It was primarily red, and was enough to go through a regular tampon, plus the second one that I have at the moment.
I thought it was weird to be bleeding so early -- but I've had mild stomach cramps (I normally have severe ones during my period), but am not experiencing any other of my common period symptoms.
So having read other posts on this site, I'd like to rule out what it could be/possibly be?
- I saw the posts on implantation bleeding, but according to my cycle calendar I was three days away from the "ovulation cycle" when we had intercourse (I try to avoid those days like the plague) and that the bleeding is primarily brown.
- I also saw that it normally takes 6-14 days for implantation to occur, and therefore I'm most likely not pregnant (a veritable relief)
The most likely culprit, I thought, would be cervical irritation or something like that. My boyfriend is rather, well, large would be the best way to put it, and I was and have been fairly sore for the past two days.
Any advice and comments would be greatly appreciated. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled later this week to talk about birth control with my doctor, so I hope to bring this up as well.
Thank you :-)
