Q: 6 weeks pregnant. Bleeding after masturbation

Sorry for tmi. I had some "me time" today, with penetration. After, I used the bathroom and there was red blood when I wiped. I've read that masturbation can irritate the cervix, and since there is a lot of blood rushing to the area, it can cause bleeding. Should I be worried? I'm not cramping and there are no clots. It has since slowed down, and had gotten more pink and less red. But I've had 2 previous mc due to low progesterone. I'm on a progesterone suppository this pregnancy. I'm not wanting to rush to the er or Dr if it's nothing to worry about. Any input is welcome! Thank you.

Congratulations,
I dont think that there is much yo worry about. Bleeding is usual in pregnancy, and you are right about the excessive blood circulation in the cervix area which causes bleeding even with the slightest of the irritation. My advice is that it's likely nothing to worry about, but I'd still call the dr. Hopefully, they have an emergency line and can advise whether or not to go to the ER, go in for an emergency appt on Monday, or any other options.
