Question

Can periods just stop at 49?

Question

I'm dealing with this constant vaginal discharge, like this clear mucus, that just makes my underwear really wet by the end of the day. It's super uncomfortable, especially when I'm traveling, and there's this strange smell to it. This started about a year back, after a time when I had sex with my boyfriend, and we were already sexually active before that too. I'm just not sure what's going on or what kind of treatment or precautions I should be taking. Could you help me figure this out?

Question

I'm really stressed out and need some advice. Is there a possibility I could be pregnant? We had unprotected sex two days before I was supposed to get my period. My cycles usually between 31 and 33 days. We did it on day 31, three times, and he always pulled out before finishing. I also made sure he peed after every time. But now Im worried because I read online that precum can make you pregnant. What do you think?
