I'm kind of worried because it's been almost a month since I had sex with my girlfriend, and she still hasn't gotten her period. I read that sometimes cycles can be late, so I'm trying not to panic yet. But, just in case she is pregnant, I was wondering if there's a way to prevent it aside from abortion, which honestly seems really scary. Are there any other options we should consider?
