Hi Lemonylimey,

Bleeding is not "supposed" to happen after sex, whether it's your first time or not. Now, it does happen to plenty of people when they first have sex due to a lack of lube or to tension.

With the bleeding you're experiencing now, as you know we can't say for certain what it is. If it does not stop and does not appear to be your period, then you should consult a healthcare provider. Also, are you and your partner up to date on your STI tests?
