Ok.. couple questions. If there is another community that I should be posting in then lead me there.. thank you in advance for your help!

My boyfriend and I had sex tonight.. and I realized that I started my period after. I must have started before because he had blood in the condom. (We start without a condom and then put one on)

Is that bad? Okay? Should I be worried? Thank you again.

Starting your period during sex isn't a problem for you, but if there is a chance that you're carrying an STD, it puts your boyfriend further at risk.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but starting off without a condom isn't going to give you full protection against pregnancy because you can get pregnant from pre-cum.

I've had sex once before this, with the same guy that I just had sex with. I was a virgin.

There are plenty of virgins with STDs:
unprotected oral sex or anal sex
unsafe tattoos or piercings
itravenous drug use
(Trichomoniasis can be even be spread by mutual masturbation or sharing sex toys.)



I'm not saying any of these would apply to you, (how could I? I don't know you), but my point is that while you were a virgin, there is still a possibility that you had an STD. Also, I notice you did not say the guy was a virgin before you. Can you be absolutely sure that he has no STDs?

Even if you are both STD-free, starting with a condom off and then putting it on mid-intercourse wrecks its effectiveness and you could get pregnant.

I'm not going to say that there is no point in using a method if it isn't used correctly, because a condom during some of intercourse is better than no condom at all. But this is ONLY if you realize you are putting yourself at risk for pregnancy and are willing to take that risk. Condoms lose their reliability when used incorrectly.

If there is some reason that the two of you would rather not use a condom, then I suggest you both get checked for STDs and switch to a different method (hormonal birth control, diaphragm, etc.)

No unprotected oral or anal sex has been performed. I am 100% sure he does not have STDS.

And I am on birth control.

Sex on your period is no problem, although it can be messy unless you use a towel (which I recommend running a bit of water over afterward to clean yourself up).

I echo what ourika said above. It doesn't take but one time and one sperm to become pregnant. Unlike the urban legends say, virgins aren't immune. You really have to be careful.
