Hi,
Try to relax. Stress can cause a delay in the start of a period. Since this sexual encounter happened 3 days before you expected to get your period. it is very likely that you already ovulated. Generally, ovulation occurs 14 days before the start of a menstrual flow. Ovulation is when one ovary releases an egg. The egg travels through a fallopian tube and waits to be fertilized. An egg lives about 12 to 24 hours after release. If not fertilized by a sperm, it degenerates. However, you must remember, that sperm on your genital area can swim into the vagina. So, even without penetration, genital to genital contact can achieve this.
Again, relax and wait a few more days. I think it is very unlikely that you could be pregnant. If you are late by a week, you can always take a home pregnancy test. Follow the directions carefully for the most accurate results.
