Bleeding - what was wrong?

[237SJ]

I had an incident at work quite a few years ago and I sometimes wonder what was wrong. There were a party of schoolkids (15 year olds) and one of them was in the loo. Her friend asked me for a sanitary towel for her. I gave it to her then she said she needed another one. Anyway, the girl came out of the loo and bled everywhere. She came into my area and sat on my seat and drenched it. We asked her a few questions. She said she had started her periods 2 years before so was familiar with them. We thought she could have been having a miscarriage but she swore she was a virgin until the night before when she had slept with one of the boys in the group. The ambulance people didn`t seem to have any idea of what it could be. We don`t always hear the outcomes of things and I never knew what could make a young girl bleed like that. Any ideas?

Age 15, extraordinary heavy bleeds..........could be anything.

My guess....miscarriage.

We did think she was having a miscarriage. She did swear she was a virgin until the night before and we thought the fact that she was willing to admit to that would have indicated she was telling the truth. I guess she was lying.

you don't have to have had penetrative sex to be pregnant....honestly what do they teach them in sex ed these days....and i went to a high church of england school 40 years ago.......

This used to happen to me in my teens. I can assure you it wasn't anything to do with miscarriage and I was eventually put on the pill at age 13 to help reduce the flow and to regulate. I was hospitalised twice because of the huge blood loss.

When a friend of mine lost her virginity something similar happened.

poor girl, probably terrified her, i hope she was ok once at hospital.
I have had the occasional bleed like that and have not been pregnant, it does happen sometimes.

Well it was more of a haemorrhage really. She completely drenched the seat and we had to move her somewhere else and she drench that seat as well. I

[ummmm]

My friend had to sit in the bath...

When I was that age my periods were terrible too... I would soak a maxi pad an hour and only going on the pill stopped it.
