Did I miscarry or is it my period?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You know how long and heavy your typical period is. During a miscarriage, bleeding gets heavier and lasts longer than a period. As your cervix starts to dilate, cramping may become more painful than typical period cramping.

View allCan my girlfriend get pregnant if I ejaculated on her panties and her vagina area while she was wearing them? I'm kind of worried and would love some advice on this.
Yes, there is a possibility of pregnancy in this situation. It is important to consider emergency contraception as soon as possible. I recommend taking an emergency contraceptive pill such as Plan B One-Step within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy.

I'm really worried and need some advice. On April 5th, my boyfriend fingered me, and I'm scared because I think he might have had precum on his fingers, which I've heard can lead to pregnancy. Thankfully, I got my regular period on April 10th, but I'm still anxious. Is there any chance I could still be pregnant even after getting my period that month?
no
