A member asked:
I am bleeding during sex. i am on birth control (pill) and i havent been taking it as i should. what would be the reason on why im bleeding?

Maybe/not pill issue: You are likely aware that menstrual blood has a consistency different from other bleeding. If your bleeding is from irregular menses it can be from erratic pill consumption or some women are just irregular off the pill. If the blood is brighter red with a non-menstrual consistency it can be from trauma during intercourse.
