my bf n i were having manual sex. I'm not concern of pregnancy here but does fingering be causing my period to be 2 weeks late? and can you skip ur period for a month, because i did not get my period on the january. I think i ovulated last night. i had a clear discharge. idk if it was sticky. i found it on the tissue. i had clear discharge the day before too

No, manual sex, or any kind of sexual activity, cannot affect your menstrual cycle. How do you track your periods? Are they usually very regular?

yea i have a 28 day cycle. Could the clear discharge indicates that im ovulating? and Can changing wake up schedule affect my delay of ovulation that's causing my period to be missing?

What Joey meant was, are you tracking your cycle in a way that involves taking things like your basal temperature or cervical mucus? Because otherwise, any count you're doing is not going to give you an accurate measure of where you are in your cycle.

Periods can be late for all sorts of reasons. You can read about the most common ones here: M.I.A or, Dude, Where's My Period?

Thanks for taking your time to reply my post :'(. Ohh basal temperature, no. but cervical mucus, yes. I've been getting clear discharge 3 days in a row since tuesday. I found light yellow on my pantyliner on tuesday. Could any of these mean anything? Thanks for the article!!

From the article, can I not count pregnancy as the reason for my late/missing period? because from your articles, manual sex does not pose any pregnancy risk.

Can you not have your period in a month, and start ovulating the next month?

Thanks, and if my period was missing because of my stress, how long til I'll get my period, and also i found this on some website, it says that change of wake up schedule could also mess up my menstruation, is it true?

That's one of those things we simply can't answer. The thing you can do is hold tight, and do some self care if you're feeling stressed:

Okay haha sorry and thanks for the article btw. But is there any pregnancy risk in the first place? and what does it mean when you are still having thin discharge after ovulation? since the luteal phase are called "dry days".
