Female Advice Preferred: Late on period, in urgent need of opinions/advices.

[Tuxibelle]

Dear all,

It has been 41 days since my last period and it is getting very worrying. I have an average of 32 days for my menstrual cycle according to my period diary log. As for my last two periods, it took around 32 days.

Sexual activities:

• Dry humping (my partner and myself both had our shorts and underwear on, and I also had my panty liner on)
• My partner ejaculated in his underwear from dry humping, but only his underwear was wet (no visible wet spots on his shorts or my shorts too)
• My partner also ejaculated on my tummy but he wiped it off with a tissue paper as soon as he did.
• Fingering (not sure if there is any sperm on my partner's fingers or not, but he told me his fingers were dry)

Medical:

• 3 weeks ago, I was sick and I was prescribed with antibiotics for throat infection as I had fever and cough.
• As a result, I was on antibiotics and other medicines for a week.

Information:

• Teenager
• Last period started on 05 October (Lasted from 5th - 8th Oct)
• Had brown discharge (just a drip on my panty liner) on 30 October
• Expected period (according to 28 days) to be on 02 November
• Increased appetite, boobs feel a little bit sore recently (just my usual PMS symptoms, nothing out of the ordinary).

There was no intercourse/penetration of the penis or any skin-to-skin contact with our genitals at all.

Is there any cause for concern to my late period? Am I just overly worried or can I be pregnant?

Please advise me at your earliest convenience. Thank you so much in advance.

The only way you can get pregnant is if sperm gets near your vaginal canal. It doesn't sound like, from anything you described, that this happened.

But being pregnant is not the only reason you can be late, or miss a period. Stress, illness, random flukes in the cycle, can all cause you to be late or miss a period all together. Since you have not been sexually active in a way that could result in pregnancy, you are mostly likely still getting over whatever illness you had earlier in the month, or dealing with some extra stress in your life. This is nothing to worry about. Just try to take some extra time this week to relax. Do things that make you happy and stress free, like a nice bubble bath, reading a favorite book, just spend some quality "you" time. Your period should come and if not, it should be back to normal next month.

Remember though that sexual activity can lead to pregnancy. And if you plan on having sex in the future, even just a little bit, or "just trying it out" you need to use protection to avoid pregnancy. There is not a contraceptive out there that can provide protection 100%, but there are options out there that greatly reduce your chance of getting pregnant, like the pill. You will need to talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for a contraceptive that will work for you. So if sex is something you could see happening in the near future, make an appointment now. Most contraceptives require a few weeks, sometimes up to a month, to become fully effective.

I feel so much better and relieved after hearing from you. Thank you so much for replying and taking time to read my long post. I really appreciate it a lot. Cheers!

Hi Lizzie, just to update you that I had a bad headache and threw up several times today, about an hour after I had my first meal in the afternoon. I took a 2-3 hour nap and I am currently fine, I suppose. Any cause for concern? Could this be associated with pregnancy? Or am I thinking too much into it?

[David Armes]

Have you done a test?

I would do one. Dry humping can still cause pregnancy as the material used is very thin and has tiny holes in it meaning sperm can go through. Sperm on the belly shouldn't cause any problems as it is away for the vaginal opening.

Just chill out for a while and do a test. If you really feel ill then speak to a doctor about it and they will help you. Being a teenager periods can often be all over the place so I wouldn't worry.

Take care and please PM if there is any questions you have...

Hey,

No. If you had no penis-vagina penetration then you are not pregnant.

I get headaches where I get dizzy and nauseous. It could have been stress or just a typical headache or migraine.

You have been really stressed out lately according to your first post, so I'd chalk it up to that!

Give your period more time to come, but if it doesn't come in say, a week, take a test to ease your mind.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

It sounds like you are ill. Just make sure to drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest. If the vomiting does not subside, you can call your doctor to see if they think you need to come in for an evaluation.

Like I said before, what you described will not lead to pregnancy. However, if there was any penis and vagina contact (even if he didn't finish, even if he didn't put it in all the way, even if it was just for a few seconds) that would be different. If that is the case I would recommend taking a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side.

It sounds like your sick (migraines, flu, something like that). The chances of you being pregnant are so slim that it'd be a miracle if you were. Sickness can also cause the delay in period. You might want to talk to a doctor though if you're sick a second time in the month just to make sure that something isn't wrong.

[Tuxibelle]

There wasn't any penis and vagina contact.

Thank you all, for your time and detailed reply to my questions. All of you have been very helpful and I am really grateful for your help, especially all these good information you have provided me with. Cheers!
