About Martin M
Expertise
Health is in the body, it`s in the mind and it`s in the emotions. About the body you can ask anyone, the other two are not so easy to discuss. Genitals are tricky subjects as well. So, just when sex is new and relationships become complex, who can you talk to? Teens need to grow up healthily in ALL respects. Your sex-life has just started, don`t let it start all knotted up. If you worry about the first time, kissing, virginity, STD`s, love, genital size, masturbation, homosexuality, self-confidence, oral sex or any such matter, ask away. Get it off your chest, don`t worry, be happy.

Experience
I?m not a doctor, but I learned much about much. On this site I advised and helped hundreds of people who had problems and questions about their body, sexuality and relationships. I specialize in questions that are SILLY, PRIVATE, EMBARRASSING, DIRTY and STUPID. Somewhere in your teens, you run into puberty and sex gets to be an item. You learn the basics about puberty and sex at school and at home, but where do you get the details? The weird and naughty bits? Who do you ask those private and embarrassing questions? You don?t want to look dirty-minded asking a teacher, you don?t want to look silly and stupid asking a friend. If you don?t ask, you worry and blunder. That?s where I come in. Old enough to know, young enough (at heart) to understand you.

Subject: could my 14 year old be pregnant ?plese help me

Question
hi i am a 32 year old mother of 3  ages 14&12&10 all i no is english my 14 year old had sex for the first time on april the 25 it was time for her period to start the same week but it did not and it is may the 1 and she still has not stared she said it did not even fill like it was time she not even had any cramps whats do you think?
could she be pregnant or not?what are the chances of her getting pregnant on the week she was supposed to start? please help me if you can thank you melissa.  

Answer
Dear Melissa,

It's unlikely, but it's not impossible. So near the end of the cycle the chance of getting pregnant is small. The problem is that it is not possible to tell for sure, there is ALWAYS a chance of pregnancy (yes, even during the period itself, in rare cases). And there are so many aspects involved that it is impossible to be accurate about how big the chances are. It really takes a pregnancy-test to be sure.
There is a bigger chance, I think, that your daughter is overdue because of the 'upheaval' of the sex. First sex has quite an impact, both emotional and physical, so it's not unlikely that her hormones got out of step, and her cycle has become irregular (for this once). Still, I suggest you give her a test or send her to a doctor, as soon as possible.

Yours,
martin
