Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I am glad that you have seen your doctor about your concern. I am also glad you reached out to us.
Having a monthly period confirms that you are not pregnant.
The flow that you see when you have your period is the shedding of the lining of your uterus.
During pregnancy, the lining of the uterus stays intact or in place because that is where the baby is growing.
A virgin is someone who has never had intercourse. Intercourse is sexual activity, including penetration or insertion of a man's penis into a female's vagina and anal or oral sex.
henesey, since you are sexually active, please start using some type of birth control.
Wait and see if your period starts this week. You can figure out the length of your menstrual cycle. Using a calendar, mark the day you start your period. That day is day one. Mark the day you start your period the next month. Count the days in between and you will see how long your menstrual cycle is. Do this for every month and you will see a pattern.
