Question
After my period I had sex with my boyfriend (used condoms) and I started to have light bleeding. I went for a check up and the doctors said that it's nothing to be worried about as it happens sometimes. Now, I had my period about a week ago, we had intercourse again (with condoms) and yesterday (a week later) I noticed a little blood in my discharge AGAIN. What is it? I'm very worried. This time it's not too much blood as last month, but I'm still worried about it.
Answer
Well what I do not know is if she actually tested you for sexually transmitted infections. If not, I think you should encourage her to test you. Bleeding after intercourse can be a sign of infection. Good luck!
