I've been getting my period for almost ten years and I have never been good at keep track because it came on so randomly. But it hasn't come on at all and it worries me at first I thought it was a yeast infection but I don't have symptoms. But sometimes when I wipe its white milky stuff and when I looked it up online it sad that it was something that happened before your period, that wasn't the first time it happened but I didn't know it happen before my period. But I still haven't got it. Is there something I can do to bring it on? Or a way to figure out whats wrong? I can't go to my sisters they're all younger than me and my mom is mom and it would be nerve wrecking to tell her and get her all worked up before I even know for sure whats wrong or I'm not overreacting. I'm not the skinniest person but I'm not obese either. This has never happened before. Please help.

I'm 17 and still a virgin. My period came on 3/15 and now its 4/20 and I'm worried that it's really late. Me and my boyfriend only play with each and he finished on my stomach but I wasn't sure if it got on my vagina. Just wondering if it is normal to be this late. And this isn't the first time his penis has touched my vagina. but i got my period those months. And all my friends are worrying me saying that I could be pregnant. HELP!

If he finishes in your stomach all the time, then you should be fine. The only way you could get pregnant is if he was actually inside of you when he finished. He needs to be inside of you in order to release the sperm and push it through the birth canal and all that good stuff in order to get to the Fallopian tubes and fertilize and ovary. The man's semen also needs to go directly into the vagina to neutralize its acidity so that the environment of the vagina is viable for the sperm to live in and try to get to the ovary. If he finishes on your stomach there's no way to actually propel the sperm along it path to the ovary . If his semen got in you someway put wasn't propelled throughout you then the acidity of the vagina would return to normal and any sperm wthin you would die. You can only get pregnant if a single sperm is able to reach the Fallopian tube an fertilize an ovary.

Hi. I really need your help. I was in a situation where my bf came on/near my hip and I am getting all worked up now as my period is getting delayed. Your comment said that unless the semen in propelled into the vagina...the egg won't be fertilised. Can you please help me out? I really need your help. I am very tensed.
