Is it safe to have intercourse 3 days before your period?
Yes. Perfectly. However, if you wanted to avoid pregnancy, then you MUST use contraception. As you can get pregnant at any point during intercourse. Whether you are on your period or not.
How many days does it take for a woman to ovulate after her period?
Generally about 2 weeks (14 days). This does vary with each person, however.
Is it normal for a teen to miss her period for three months?
It is fairly normal, as teenagers periods are not always regular because their hormones have not fully regulated yet. However, if she has had sex, she should take a pregnancy test. If she hasn't had sex, it might be worth going to see a doctor to check everything is OK, which it probably is. It is probably caused by stress, anxiety, tiredness, travelling, illness or not eating properly.
You are 2 days delayed are you pregnant?
No. Two days is nothing. Think weeks, a month or more. Then, possible pregnant.
What happens if you miss your period but your a virgin?
don't worry your periods are just irregular. its completely normal.
This is the concept behind the 3-month packs, such as the seasonale brand. With them, you take active pills for 11 weeks, then inactive/sugar pills for a week, so you only have 4 periods per year. Keep in mind, though, they DO use different medications to do so.
In theory, extending your cycle a week shouldn't make the pill any less effective. This is especially helpful if, for example, you are going on vacation on the week you expect your period. You can take an extra week of active pills, and delay your period for a week, then go back to sugar pills when you return, and have your regular period.
There are some problems, though:
1.) Extending the time between periods may increase the chance that you will have spotting between your periods.
2.) You will still need to take 3 weeks of active pills during the next cycle, however your pack will be short several pills. If your health insurance covers your Birth Control pills, you may have to purchase a pack without coverage, since many insurance companies won't dispense 28-day packs less than 23 days apart (or whatever number your insurance company sets).
3.) If you fail to take at least 3 weeks of pills between periods, you can really mess up your cycles, and end up with your pill being ineffective, so if you do decide to extend your cycle, do so with great caution and organization! It's not worth extending your cycle, if you take the pills wrong, and the pill fails.
How many days after menstruation count it safe?
None, some days are more likely than others but nona are safe.
How can you tell if your getting your period?
you start to feel your lower abdomen ache and crampy.. and you start bleeding!
No. You had all ready ovulated or you wouldn't have a period. You are not pregnant.
What does it mean if your not pregnant but haven't started your period?
Depending on how "late" you are...... It may simply mean that your period is late. The body doesn't run like the clock on your wall. If your following period does not start when it should have....... Go see your doctor to get checked out.
Yes! With octuplets!
Do you wear a pad of a tampon for football?
Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in, and of course if tampons make sure you use correct absorbency. Pads don't have to be bulky, active people may prefer to use period underwear instead of pads or cloth pads instead of disposable pads. If active internal options like menstrual cups can be better than tampons as they don't increase cramps or leak like tampons, plus can be worn with light flow.
Your period is ten days late and all of your pregnancy test are late what can that mean?
How can a pregnancy test be late?
If you get pregnant on your period does your period stop?
By definition, the period is a cycle of being fertile and being infertile. Think of it as closing the shop for cleaning. On your first clear day, the uterus prepares for having a baby, the womb is clean and there is new "wallpaper" up that is the surface that the egg will attach to. The egg is being prepared in the overy, and will be delivered down the fallopian tube around day 12. If you have sex before then the semen will most likely fail outside the uterus, but it might survive so don't trust the "timing" method. When the uterus is ready to do business, it opens the doors by making the fluid that blocks the door to the uterus (the cervix) thinner so the semen can get in. If it does, and it finds the egg and fertilizers it, you will stop menstruating for 40 weeks. Then Bub arrives.
Otherwise, the cervical fluid thickens up, and the egg and the lining of the uterus gets old and the uterus needs another clean out. The female body does this by bleeding. First the fluid blocking the uterus gets thinner again, and the old lining begins to fall away; that's the nasty part of the cycle when stains and odd smells occur. Then the blood follows as the uterus is cleaned out. Blood clots can form in the uterus or the vagina, but typically they fall away. A woman might bleed for three of four days and lose an eggcup of blood in that time.
Women should see their Doctor if the pains are bad or last more than a few days, the bleeding is very dirty, pale, coloured other than normal, goes on longer than normal, or clots a lot.
I hope that helps but if not talk it over with a GP, compare notes with other girls, or mother, aunties etc.
