The question

Dear TeenHealthFX,

So on November 27th, me and my girlfriend had protected sex, she has had a period since then but now her period isnt starting, could this mean pregnancy? Btw I couldnt really put it in so it wasnt actual penetration, but we just want to be 200% sure

The answer

First, we want to commend you on taking the first step in asking for help. Second, unfortunately TeenHealthFX cannot diagnose over the internet and recommend that your girlfriend see a doctor to receive a 100% answer. Even though it sounds like it is unlikely for her to be pregnant, a medical professional would be the only person who can confirm it.

If you need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the [Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist.
