Could frequent masturbation with orgasms make me skip a period?

Unread post by Calla Lily »

So my period is probably at least a month overdue by now. :? I haven't been sexually active with another person, and I'm at a "healthy" weight, so I don't think either of those factors are causing my missing period.

However, I have been masturbating pretty frequently, maybe every other day. I orgasm every time, too. I'm wondering if the sexual stimulation or the hormones released by orgasming could be keeping my period away right now.

Any advice? Thanks!

Hi Calla Lily,

Frequent masturbation should not effect your menstrual cycle. If you're curious what other things might be causing the delay, check this out: M.I.A or, Dude, Where's My Period?
