Is Heavy Spotting Indicative Of Period Or The Effect Of Hymen Breaking?
My period is due in 3 days. I had sex for the second time ever yesterday...the first time 3 years ago I bled a little..I didn t bleed at all..until this morning...it was spotting at first and then looks heavier...is it my period or effects of my hymien breaking..I m also takin cramps and took a morning after pill over 2 weeks ago after fooling around...no penetration
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Based on the description you have given, it appears that what bleeding you are experiencing is breakthrough bleeding. This is because, intake of morning after pill (emergency contraceptive pill) would cause breakthrough bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of its intake in the form of periods. Of course, bleeding could take place by breaking of hymen tissue on first few occasions of having intercourse, but wouldn't continue for long. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
