so i am going to have sex for the first time this weekend.. & i haven't gotten my period since last january.. and the year before that i got it. so i've only had my period twice within the past 3 years... i'm scared about having my cherry popped because a "cherry" is a layer of skin which is broken and releases blood held up in there. i probably have a bunch of blood so i'm concerned with how much i am going to bleed.. do you think it'll be so bad that i'll bleed clots?? & also. i am not on any form of birth control but i willl use vcf, my bf will use a condom & will pull out. & if the condom were to break i'd still take one step the day after pill. i have it stored safely in my room just in case of an emergency. if i took the day after pill would it make me bleed blood clots? because apparantly that medication makes you bleed to clean out your uterus but because i haven't gotten my period in forever what will it do...? help please asap! Thanks guys!
Additional info, added Friday February 11 2011, 1:23 am: by the way i forgot to mention that my mom called my gyno and said not to worry about the irregular periods & that if i don't get it by spetember then i will get an ultra sound. sooo thats already taken care of guys!.

The reason why you bleed when it's broken is because it's a piece of skin that tears, along with the tiny blood vessels in it.
Some bleed a little more, some bleed a little less. Some never bleed (I didn't, because I was an avid mountain bike rider as a kid and broke it that way). Don't worry about it... it's not enough to ruin the mood.
As for what happens if you take the Day After pill, it's different for every woman. If it does make you bleed heavily, that's not unusual: it basically makes you get your period over the course of 1-3 days instead of the usual. Keep in mind that your uterus doesn't just keep generating new linings on top of the old one: that would mean you'd be swelling up like a balloon by now! Your body just isn't getting the message to shed the one you have. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
