Can sperm actually get through cotton clothes and cause a pregnancy? My girlfriend and I were fooling around with dry humping. We both had on our underwear and shorts, but she's now late on her period. Should we be worried about pregnancy?

Pregnancy Likelihood
- Sperm cannot pass through cotton clothes or underwear. Pregnancy from dry humping with clothes on is extremely unlikely.
Missed Period Causes
- A missed period can result from various factors, including stress or hormonal changes, not just pregnancy.
Next Steps
- If pregnancy is a concern, consider taking a home pregnancy test for reassurance.
Further Action
- Consult a healthcare provider if there are ongoing concerns or irregularities in the menstrual cycle.

I'm a 30-year-old married person and I recently found out there's free fluid in the pod. I'm not sure what that means for me. Could it indicate that I'm pregnant, or is it something else I should be aware of?

The presence of free fluid in the pod can be a sign of ovulation or early pregnancy. It is not a definitive indicator of pregnancy on its own. Further evaluation and monitoring may be needed to determine the exact cause.

I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant and I'm dealing with a boil that's been draining pus and blood. Is it safe for me to take Clavam 625 to treat this? I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure it's okay for both me and the baby.
