Scared I could be pregnant... HELP!!
| Mon, 08-25-2003 - 10:28pm |
Ive never had sex bt i do fool around with my boyfriend some... my period is not very regular.. but its ater than usual this time.. and ive heard that you can get pregnant from fooling around if you arent careful... could i be pregnant? im really scared.. ive also noticed some redness, sorenes, and swelling in my vagina.. could that mean something else? can a late period indicate other issues besides pregnancy? someone please get back to me.. SOON!

You can also get STD's from fooling around, herpes and HPV (genital warts) do not require penetration, only skin contact with an infected parter (who may not have symptoms). The only way to protect yourself from STD's is by using a condom before *any* genital contact.
My advice would be to make an appointment with your doctor to talk about the discomfort that you're having and your irregular periods. There are all kinds of reasons why periods are irregular, and your doctor may be able to shed some light on things.
Good luck!
