    Question

    Hi: I had sex for the first time last night, protected I will mention. When I got home, my pants were covered in blood, and when I woke up this morning, I was bleeding lightly. Now I am bleeding like I normally do when I get my period. I am scared that there is something wrong with me. Is this normal?

    Answer

    It is not uncommon for girls to bleed for a day or two, but if it does not stop, talk to your doctor.
