Question

hey i have a question about my period after the first time having sex. i had just ended my period about two days before i had sex with my boyfriend for the first time. since then we've had sex several times with a condom each time. is it normal to have my period about a week early after my first time?

Answer

There is likely no relationship between having sex the first time and your period being early. However, since you are now sexually active, I hope you are planning to see a doctor and start on a regular and reliable method of birth control - so you can ask the doctor then.
