Those TTC for awhile.

[sarahuk]

Great...had an orgasm (no penetration) and pretty immediately felt wet so went off to the bathroom to be met with lots of bright red blood.

Im hoping it was just the contracting of things that caused a little bleed but now im up scared to death that im starting with a loss Guess ill be phoning EPU in the morning.

 

[moter98]

hang in there! that can happen after bd because. the cervix is more filled with blood and and sensitive. it's likely your cervix was just bumped. lay down and take it easy and see if the bleeding the stops.

 

[moter98]

oh now i see you said no penetration. how much blood was it? lay down and take it easy!

 

[sarahuk]

Im wondering if its a burst blood vessel from the contracting because there wasnt any penetration.

I was telling myself that it would be one hell of a coincidence to start having a loss right at that moment...so surely it has to be related to that. Thought me days of being scared to go to the bathroom were gunna be over for a while! xx

 

[sarahuk]

At first it covered the toilet paper...and then it eased as i wiped. I need to go pee again cos of the nerves I think, but put off going lol...I -do- think its slowed down but its definitely freaked me out. It was defo AF amounts at the time x

 

[moter98]

the only way to know is to have a scan and/or pelvic exam. it could be many things. most common is just a cervical irritation, which is very possible with orgasm cause it causes contractions

 

[sarahuk]

Yeah I think it was a self inflicted bleed

Im gunna call the unit tomorrow and see if they will let me pop in for a reassurance scan. x

 

[moter98]

i would ask for a scan, but it seem like way too much coincidence of when it happened. its very common to have some bleeding after orgasm

 

[moter98]

i googled this same problem and here was a response. i think it's just fine hun

I had this earlier in my pregnancy but has stopped. The midwife said it was because of the extra blood flow to the uterus and the contractions during the orgasm can sometimes burst a little vessel.

 

[sarahuk]

I really hope so Tina. Prob now is, after a return to the bathroom im still bleeding and its turning quite clotty.

 

[moter98]

do you have cramps?
i think you should put yourself on bedrest till you see a dr. if its an irritation, not moving around should help it heal right up

 

[sarahuk]

I have some but they arent really strong ones. And it only started after the O...so I reckon they are from the contracting.

To be fair..matt and i only had naughty time once since finding out..so it was a pretty good one (the things we tell each other!!) so im not surprised and was ready for the cramping. Just the blood that threw me.

Am in bed atm and going to beg for the scan and go on a sex ban till after baby is born (hopefully!!) xx

 

[moter98]

It must be from the o Sarah. I would ask for scan just for reassurance. If you are not having bend over in pain cramps it shouldn't be anything serious. Remember that I've had bright red bleeding with clots too and baby is still healthy and kicking!!!

 

[sarahuk]

Very true!! Thank you so much for helping put my mind at rest hun

Im sure tomorrow we will find out all is fine xx

 

[moter98]

Take it easy and rest till then.

Sarah! Hope your ok today you poor love. Did you get any sleep? Have you called the EPU yet? Demand a scan! Like Moter said its too much of a coincidence that it happened right after the orgasm. Try to relax (I know that's much easier said then done!) bleeding is common in the first trimester for one reason or another. Keep is updated! wish I could give u a real hug. Xx

 

[sarahuk]

Thanks girlies x

Today I am not so worried The last couple of times I wiped lat night it was clearly getting less and less so I think it was just the one episode of red that I had. This morning, there was only brown, so I guess it was just leftovers from the rush last night

I called EPU and told them about how the bleed had been and was I ok to just disregard it as one of those things. She said it was probably ok, but they want to scan me anyway to be sure, so im off in for a scan at 2.45.

I dont feel worried about it so much now though. If Id been bleeding still this morning I would be, but the brown really reassured me. On the plus side..it will be lovely to see how much Snook has changed in just one week

I'm sure all is well. I remember having a huge glob of blood early on after having sex (I never mentioned it, though) and well, shrimpette is due in a few days!

 

[moter98]

Let us know how scan goes. Happy to hear it tapered off

 

[rooster100]

Let us know how it goes! I will be thinking of you! I'm sure you will be fine. DH is now on a sex ban! (only have had sex twice since the bfp!) I am terrified of it! Plus I feel like a bloated warthog! X
