Question : Hi, the last 2 times my boyfriend & I have had sex there has been bright red blood in our mixed fluids right afterward. I'm mid-cycle so it isn't menstrual blood.
The first time, it seemed to be a lot and we had both achieved orgasm. The second time, it wasn't as much and I was too anxious about the blood from last time to have an orgasm, so it was just him. I have no pain and it's gone as soon as I clean up. He started antibiotics for a sinus infection and ambien approx 2 days before the first episode. I'm not on any medication.
1) How do we know which one of us is bleeding?
2) What could cause this?

Brief Answer:
mid cycle spotting, very common
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
This is just a mid cycle spotting from your uterine cavity and is very common in many women.
There is nothing to worry and it will be gone in a day or two and no active treatment is needed for the same.
To confirm the same, wipe on your private parts with toilet paper after pee and most probably you will get a streak of blood over that paper.
So just relax and enjoy your personal time with your partner, there is nothing to worry.
Regards
