I have been on Depo Provera as a treatment option for Endometriosis as well as BC since August 05. Aside from alternating between moderate spotting, light bleeding, and gushing blood occasionally non-stop since August... I adore it. It's helped out with the endo pain immensely. And I'm not a stranger to looonnng painful periods - so bleeding with no pain is a nice change even if it had become a constant in my life.
However, I recently stopped bleeding completely about 2 weeks ago (right after my 4th shot) and was hoping maybe my perioding had ceased altogether. It was a bit unnerving at first because bleeding has become the norm - but it was also nice.
My problem being this. My boyfriend recently moved away for the summer for an internship last week. The last two times we had sex - when we finished his penis was covered in blood. Okay - nothing new. But I wasn't bleeding at any other time. At first I thought maybe we were just irritating my cervix as we were having fairly rough sex and the blood was definitely fresh and not old.
Today I was masturbating in the shower - with very minimal finger penetration and certaintly nothing anywhere near my cervix - and after I finished and got out I was gushing blood. Bright red and very thick blood. This is my first orgasm since the last two times he and I had intercourse. It was very heavy and all gushed out at once. Now two hours later, not a speck of blood to be found. I haven't had the slightest amount of spotting for three weeks - but I'm gushing blood after orgasms.
Is it probable that my orgasms are causing utertine contractions enough to push this blood out? And if so, why isn't it old blood? It's definitely not a scratch or a tear, it's the consistency of period blood. Why am I not bleeding all the time?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
