I'm a bit confused about how periods and ovulation are connected. Is it possible to have a period without ovulating? And if I do ovulate, does that mean I'll definitely get my period about 15 days after? I'm just trying to understand how it all works.

Yes, it is possible to have a menstrual period without ovulation. This is known as an anovulatory cycle. Yes, typically after ovulation, a menstrual period occurs around 14 days later. This is known as the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. If fertilization does not occur, the uterine lining sheds, resulting in menstruation. If you are looking for a medication to regulate your menstrual cycle, you can consider using oral contraceptive pills such as Yaz or Yasmin.

I'm having a bit of a situation where two fingers can enter the vagina quite easily, but a penis doesn't seem to go in. Is it possible for a non-erected penis to enter the vagina? I'm feeling a bit concerned about this and would really appreciate some advice.

Yes, it is possible for two fingers to enter the vagina more easily than a non-erected penis. This is because the vagina is a flexible organ that can expand and contract. If the penis is not erect, it may not be able to reach the same depth or width of penetration as an erect penis. If you have concerns or discomfort, its important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I'm wondering if it's safe to try clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm about a week after having the D&C procedure. I'm planning on avoiding any penetration, but I'm still a bit unsure. Can you advise?

It's generally safe to engage in clitoral stimulation a week after a D&C procedure, as long as there are no signs of infection or complications. However, it's important to listen to your body and avoid any activities that cause discomfort. If you have any concerns or experience pain, its best to consult your doctor.
