I'm 17 years old and sexually active but I already had my period this month and after I have sex I start to bleed like it's my period again. Is this serious?

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for coming to us with your concern.

How long after your last period did you start bleeding again?

Are you using any type of birth control, such as oral contraceptive, the Depo-Provera injection or have a IUD?

How heavy was the flow? How long did it last?

With more information, I can help you figure out if this is something serious and whether you need to see your doctor.

Regards,
Maryann
