Question
i had sex for the first time three days ago. i bled a little at the time, and a little the day after, but have started bleeding a lot today. could it just be that my period has come early?

It seems to happen that sometimes first sexual intercourse will alter a menstrual ccycle. If the bleeding is like a period, and stops after 5 days, no worries. If it is heavier, redder, painful, or worrisome, then please do see a doctor.
