Question
I am 14 and this was my first time having sex. Yes it was protected. But I have gotten wetter, sore, and then as the day progressed, small brown spots appeared in my underwear. What's wrong with me? How do I handle it?
Answer
I am glad your first experience was protected, but you are very young to be sexually active. Your body is still growing. There is no way for me to know what is going on inside your vagina, but it might just be cleaning itself out and the small borwn spots might just be old blood from your hymen breaking.
You could see a doctor for an exam and start on birth control, which would give you a chance to ask any questions you have. Stay protected!
