Why am I still bleeding?

You should go get checked out by a doctor as soon as you can. It might not be anything scary at all, but you could have an infection, either and STI or just a vaginal infection or possibly an STD.

Talk to your boyfriend about his and your sexual history. Even if you have both been faithful sexually to each other, and sexually active for a year, it sounds like you have been recently infected after you finally had intercourse. Of course, even if he says he was a virgin when he met you, he might not be telling the truth (I know that’s harsh, but it’s a possible reality you have to accept). Or if he has had sex before or while with you with someone else, he might not know he has or is a carrier of an STD.

If you are younger or afraid of talking to your parents then go to a Planned Parenthood or other clinic and tell a doctor there about your problem and ask where you can go from there. They will have suggestions, and in many cases, you can get state insurance which basically means the clinic takes care of you and you donate whatever you can as payment. I did this a few years ago at a Planned Parenthood clinic. I didn’t need any procedures, but I did get a check-up and birth control pills for basically free. I would look into this.

I would also recommend researching as much as you can for your own knowledge. It might be scary looking at the possibilities, and if that’s the case, then just go see a doctor and then do research about the things they suggest or diagnose.

Hope this helps and I’d be happy to discuss more.
