Sex then bleeding and im Rh-....just a quick question

I completely forgot to ask this question when the doctor discovered I was Rh-.  He said if I have any bleeding I need to have a shot just to be on the safe side but what if I bleed after intercourse, I have had a brownish discharge once 2 days after sex but didn't think anything of it, but now in case it happens again and much heavier I wonder if I should go to the Dr. or hospital to get that shot.  Any thoughts or experience about this from anyone?  Obviously I will always call if I do bleed but im just wondering if anyone else has been in the same situation as I.

Thanks in advance Smile

Re: Sex then bleeding and im Rh-....just a quick question

  • I'm also Rh- and also was told of the precautions. If the bleeding is from sex, it's coming from the cervix from getting tapped. It's a concern if it's coming from the uterus. About a month ago (and last time I had sex), I also had brown discharge a couple days later. Week before last, I had a trans-vaginal ultrasound and had brown spotting/discharge a couple days later. Every time I call, they say it's a concern if it's red bleeding, along with cramps, but usually chalk it up to sex/ultrasounds, etc. To feel better, maybe call the office and let them know. I've called and I felt better afterwards. But it sucks to hold off sex because of not being 100% sure it's coming from the cervix.
  • I'm Rh - too and this is my 4th baby. In the past whenever I've spotted or bled a little I'd go to the ER and BAM Rogham shot... This time I'm not as nervous and I was spotting a few days ago, it was brownish and after sex. They told me not to worry that it was my cervix getting irritated and that it wasn't from my uterus. I asked if I needed to come in and get the shot and they said no, that the ER is VERY quick to give them but they aren't supposed to be given unless there's light bleeding to severe bleeding.

  • My OB did not care where blood came from. I spotted and got a shot the next day.

    The source of my bleeding has been linked to a polyp on my cervix, but regardless I will get a shot once every 12 weeks b/c there is no reason to risk it.

    Totally this. My OB took zero chances with this, and really there's no reason TO chance it. Plus, I'm not sure how someone could tell over the phone or unless they did tests where the bleeding was coming from. I mean, they could probably guess, but I wouldn't be comfortable with a guess, especially if you're planning on having more kids. I had a pelvic exam early in my pg last time and very lightly spotted afterwards and it almost certainly was from my cervix, but my OB still had me get a shot without question.
