Hey, I'm thinking about using a period delay pill and I'm not sure which one I should go for or what the right dosage is. Also, how far in advance should I start taking it? I'm also a bit worried about how this might affect my next period cycle. Would love any advice you could give me.

View allI'm really worried and would appreciate your advice. Me and my girlfriend only had oral sex about a month ago, and we're pretty sure it was just that. She usually has irregular periods, and her last one was on March 3rd. This month, her period skipped, and she's been worried ever since. After missing her period by a couple of days, we did a urine HCG test which came back negative, and then repeated it 4 days later, still negative. She's noticed some whitish smears in her underpants, and she said she's experienced this before due to sexual arousal. But now that seems to have stopped. Could there still be any chance of pregnancy from oral sex? Is it even possible for saliva to cause pregnancy when I kissed her and then went down on her? Please help me understand what's going on.
no need to worry sice hcg is negative you are less likely to be pregnant and it is less likely to be pregnant by your methods consult your gynac for further treatment
