Question : Hi,
My girlfriend has been having issues regarding her periods. Last month her period was 2 days late and they got over in 3 days, whereas her normal cycle lasts for around 5 days.. further, 3 days after the stoppage of period, she experienced light spotting and we immediately did a home pregnancy test which came negative. So that was about it. However, this month again, she experienced normal PMS Symptoms and her period started on time, however it again stopped within 2 days. We have been sexually active but only oral sex. What could this be?

Brief Answer:
It could be due to hormonal changes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting hcm about her health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

As you are sexually active but only in oral sex,than the chances of pregnancy are not there.

Her period may be delayed due to hormonal changes.

So no need to worry about it.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
