Between periods, bleeding?

I hope this is in the right section but anyway...I am definitely right in the middle of my periods right now, but I noticed some blood so I put a pad in. It was only a small amount and it was that dark reddish brown but mostly brown color. I know that bleeding between periods is somewhat normal for girls who are just starting their periods, but I have been on mine for a bit over 2 years now and I think I am pretty regular. I was talking to one of my good girl friends about it and asking her if something similar has happened to her. She asked if I had started birth control pills but I haven't, she also asked if my boyfriend and I have started having sex but we haven't. She said that since the blood was dark that meant it was old and dried, so we started thinking that maybe it was from him fingering me...? The other day he did try fingering me with 3 fingers for just a little bit, he usually uses 2. It hurt a little at first and then a little again when he went deeper, but then it was good but I could tell that I still felt a bit stretched. Could this be the cause or do you think it could be from something else? We do fool around quite a bit sometimes and we have been naked with each other multiple times but we have never actually had sex.

If you bled due to him fingering you, it would be fresh bright blood. The brown blood would be old blood and sometimes when a girl ovulates she can bleed a little bit. If you're not having sex (rules out pregnancy), not feeling any pain, and it was just a tiny bit, I would just chalk it up to being old blood. If the problem keeps happening throughout the month (Like an every-day thing) I'd make an appointment with your doctor. Otherwise, that happens to everyone from time to time.

Thanks lizzard! It happened for a couple days but it looks like its done now.

Is there a chance that I could get pregnant without having sex? I mean sometimes we are very close when we are naked, but we haven't begun to have sex yet.

The chances are very slim, unless he is ejaculating onto your vagina or precum onto your vagina that could possibly make its way into your vagina (by wiping or something). If your vagina and his penis haven't had any contact, is unlikely you would get pregnant. If you do decide to start having sex wear a condom. Better safe than sorry.

Okay thanks! That's good to know

yeah we've been talking about getting some condoms to have just in case, but not getting or having any has kind of been our way of making sure we wait until we're ready lol

It's good to wait until you're ready, but sometimes people get caught up in the moment. Maybe you can have some just in case.

I know how easy it is to feel overwhelmed by hormones and make crazy decisions. Sometimes it's hard to stop mid-passion.

Yeah its been a bit hard to control ourselves at some points lol but yeah we're going to get some condoms soon so we have them just in case, thanks for all your help and advice!
