Thank you Dr Braun for you concern and for taking the time to answer my
questions. I have one more....Last night my partner and I were intimate
for the 1st time since the bleeding episode(a little over two weeks
ago). We both know that penetration is not an option at this time even
with his hand, however he does stimulate me by rubbing himself against
me and orally. Why did I start to bleed again? There was no pain
really...maybe a little disconfort when he pressed to hard but he was
very careful and gentle. The bleeding stopped pretty quickly but it was
enough blood to leave spots on the sheets. I'm worried that this will
continue...should this be happening. Sorry for so many questions I'm
obviously new to all this and a little anxious.
