So, me and my girlfriend had a bit of an intimate moment the other day. Her last period was on March 9th, and on the 19th, we were messing around. She was naked, but I still had my underwear on. Somehow, my penis kind of got into her vagina, but it wasnt deep because of the underwear. I didnt ejaculate, but her vaginal fluids did make a wet spot on my underwear. Now, she's three days late on her period, and it's stressing us out. We've always been really careful about these things, so could there still be a chance she might be pregnant?

In summary, while its possible, the chances of pregnancy in this situation seem quite low, especially since there was no direct ejaculation. However, its always best to check with a test for peace of mind. If youre concerned about the future, using protection (like condoms) during all sexual activity can further reduce the chances of unintended pregnancy.

I'm really worried because I missed my period and took an unwanted kit, but there was no bleeding. So, I went to a doctor who gave me some abortion pills, but still nothing happened. She checked with a home pregnancy kit, which came out negative, and mentioned that bleeding should occur within 15-20 days. It's been a month now, and still no bleeding. What could be going on?

I took misoprostol on July 9th at 8:30, but it's been 18 hours and I'm not bleeding. What should I do? I'm starting to get worried.

If you haven't started bleeding within 24 hours of taking misoprostol, it's likely that the abortion was not successful, and you may need to repeat the dose or consider other option
