Abnormal Period...?
Hello :) I'm sure this question has been asked, but answers towards my question seem a little more specialized to me. So thanks in advance!
Typically my period lasts a good 6-7 days. I do have a boyfriend and we obviously do "stuff", if you will. He nor I have ever had sex, and we are very safe in terms of preventing pregnancy or heaven knows what. I make sure he pleasures himself with one hand, and me, with the other. If there's any need to switch hands, there is no other option than for him to either wash his hands or use hand sanitizer. I don't touch myself, so that's not a problem.
Now, I just got my period a day and a half ago, and it literally just stopped last night/this morning. I'm sure this is probably normal, but I really just wanted to make sure. I'm usually not a paranoid person, but after I typed in "I got my period for a day" on Google and a bunch of pregnancy results popped up, it made me a tad nervous.
I've been using a website to track my period for the past year and a half or so, and usually it's pretty accurate. My period is supposed to come on June 28th and I got it on the 14th. However, I understand that a 17 year old like me can have irregular periods.
Other than my recent salad obsession, my diet hasn't really changed? I haven't been practicing any unusual or different exercizes so I'm a little confused. Help!

Well done for being so sensible.
It's very, very unlikely that you're pregnant, so put your mind at rest.
Lots of things can affect periods - stress, medication, diet and sometimes just hormones. For now, don't worry about it. If it starts to happen regularly, then it might be worth just checking in with your doctor to make sure there's nothing going on.

I really don't think you have anything to worry about!! Since you got it early and it only lasted for a day, you probably just "spotted" which is common for teenagers and even older woman! Keep being as careful as you are and you will have nothing to worry about!!

Sometimes "fooling around" can mess with your cycle at your age. Its all the hormones getting stirred up, it can make your body a little haywire sometimes. Nothing to worry about. Just keep being careful.

No worries, as you explained, you have not had sex. And as your high school sex ed must have taught you, you cannot get pregnant without having sex. Believe me, honey, it's impossible.
As for the weird period it's completely normal. My period ranges from 1 day to 7 days. It all just depends. It could be because of stress, or from that new salad interest of yours.
And by the way, kudos on being so clean. It seems you two are both incredibly responsible.
