Hi, Anon. So glad you found us here. Let's see what we can figure out for you.

From what you say, I would say chances are very very very slim to none that you are pregnant. If what you say is true -- that you were just touching skin to skin but that there was no penetration -- then the only way you could have been pregnant would be if he had some pre-ejaculate on his penis and had gotten it on his hands before he put his fingers inside you.

If your period started on April 22-23, and if your cycles are 28 days long on average, your fertile period would have been from May 2 to May 12. So you would be right on the outside edge of your fertile time when you were with your boyfriend.

I think that the bleeding that started 5/24 is probably your period. And yes, extreme stress can cause a light, irregular or heavy period, because our hormones are totally reactive to stress in our lives.

I think that your fears are probably not necessary. I would guess that you are on your period right now and that the end of the school year and the beginning of summer, warm weather and this new intimacy with your boyfriend are all making you stressed out.

But if you think that you might be planning on having intercourse with your boyfriend in the future, what will you do for birth control and/or protection from STDs? Have you thought this through? Can we help in any way?

Thank you so much Diane…its so nice to finally have someone to talk to about this.
I really hope it is my period…its so strange though…normally I bleed very heavily. And I do have cramps right now, but they’re not as painful as the ones I normally have…its almost like a burning sensation…however since I began to bleed, the tenderness I felt in my breasts has decreased…I guess I just got so freaked out I was convincing myself that I was pregnant.
There is just one thing that still makes me question if I am pregnant or not…would that pregnancy test I took the morning I began to bleed pick up on the pregnancy hormone if what I am experiencing now is in fact implantation bleeding?
And as for my boyfriend and I planning to have intercourse, we have been talking about it, but after this scare, I don’t think I’m ready quite yet. But I do plan to start the pill and if we do engage in intercourse we’re going to use a condom.

I am actually a guy on here trying to get myself at ease, my girlfriend and I one night had unprotected sex for about 5 seconds, after messing around for about 10 minutes and then pulled out because we didnt want to risk anything, we then had sex the next week about 3 times with condoms. Shes under a large amount of stress right now. She failed her nursing exam, so she is set back now for next semester, her roomates are putting presure on her to make a decision on which roomate to live with, because the other two do not get along and they called her two faced when she did pick. Her grandma just had a heart attack and is in the hospital, and her mom and her are fighting. So im pretty sure its just stress, but its scaring the bajebus out of me.
