Thank you so much for visiting the website and for posting your questions.
I am so glad that you found us and that you posted about your situation. We really want to help you, and we want to be sure that you get all of the information that you need. This is a safe environment and I’m so happy that you came to us.
From what I’ve read, I agree that the chances that you are pregnant are very very slight. Pre-ejaculate usually does contain sperm and so I can understand why you are concerned though. I’d be worried too. But I’m also thinking that your period might not actually be truly late yet, since February is a short month and you lost a couple of days there in your count. Depending on how many days apart your cycle is you might not be late at all. And lots of things other than pregnancy can make your period late by a few days. Stress is one of them and it sounds like you are definitely feeling stressed right now and I don’t blame you one bit! There are other things too that can cause it.
White discharge can come from the vagina at different points of the cycle. Some get it mid-month, others get it right before their periods. I know you said it’s normal for you, so what time does it usually show up? if it’s right by your period time then to me it seems like it’s a sign that all is well and you are not pregnant.
Since you have indicated that a pregnancy would not be a good thing right now, it’s pretty important that you and your boyfriend discuss how to keep this situation from happening again. Believe me, I know what it’s like to be young and in love and wanting to show that love to your boyfriend. And it sounds like you were trying to experiment in a way that you figured wouldn’t cause any problems. But since it is causing you so much worry right now, it’s time to talk with him and agree on safer ways of showing your love for each other.
One thing I’d love to know, if you don’t mind my asking, is why you came here for help. Do you have nowhere else to go for advice about sexually-related things? If that’s the case, I don’t think you are alone in your feelings at all. I would love to be that supportive place for you, but I am curious if you have anyone else you can talk to about this, like your Mom, a close relative, etc. I get questions like yours a lot and it seems like so many teens are needing to get some very important questions about sex answered, but that many of you don’t have a person in your lives who can help you. Is this the case for you?
And along those lines, if we can do anything to improve the website to help teenage girls like yourself, please let me know. I'd really value and appreciate your feedback.
Please keep me posted on what goes on, and when your period shows up. Please let me know if you need any other information or if I can help you in any other way. I’m proud of you for coming here and asking for help! Big hugs, Michelle
