Hey,

I'm 19 and have been with my boyfriend for around half a year. We had unprotected sex on the 10th of Feb, and then my period came on the 11th (the day after we had sex) it was completely normal as in it lasted a week, was heavy and had clots (sorry tmi!!)

We haven't had sex since then, and I was due to come on my period again either Friday/yesterday. However I haven't come on. My breasts are tender and a little sore, my stomach is gurgling a bit but apart from that I feel fine. I'm just a little concerned as to why I haven't got my period yet? I've never ever missed one (not even when I first started my period 6 years ago) and it has ALWAYS been on the 28th day. I'm starting to panic, I highly doubt I'm pregnant but I'd just like some advice please sad

    Oh the worry won't help. But it is possible sperm can live several days inside....... Even if pregnant you can get a period or two. But more likely Will be ok x

      thankyou for replying!

      But surely the sperm would have come out with my period as it can only live for about 5 days in the uterus? IF it had managed to stay there then it wouldn't have been fertile (as in it would have "died" by the time my egg was released 2 weeks after??

      But basically I haven't had sex since my last period so I should be ok?
