Q: 

Dry Humping pregnancy scare

Is it at all possible to get pregnant through 3 layers of clothes? I was fully dressed with cotton pajamas and underwear while the guy had underwear on, with no spillage. Its been almost 3 months since the incident. I am noticing a bloated abdomen. Im fairly thin so thats new for me. No other symptoms. My first period after the incident was delayed by 15 days and came after I took some homoeopathic medicines for delayed menses. The second one came on time. I have also ovulated on what was supposed to be the 14th day from my last period. Is it just stress that has caused the bloating? Thats the only symptom I can see. My hpts are all negative (Ive taken 9 of them so far). Help!!

Hello, Anon.

Thank you for posting.

You cannot get pregnant this way. Clothing is a barrier preventing genital to genital contact. There is a risk of pregnancy when a woman has unprotected sex with ejaculation inside the vaginal canal or (more rarely) on the opening.

Thank you so much Helena!
But is it really that simple? I've read horror stories on the internet saying women continued to get negatives on their hpts throughout their pregnancies. Some continued to have periods while pregnant. And why the bloating then? and I can even see my stomach pulsating these days with some fluttering sometimes. Would 9 hpts be so inaccurate? They've all been of different brands. or are these all symptoms of stress.. have I been noticing too much?

Hi again,

Yes, it is that simple. I can only give you common sense information about how one can and cannot get pregnant, it's up to you to decide what sources you choose to believe.

I do understand. If only I could find some explanation for my bloated abdomen, I might get some peace since I have no other symptom. The stres is taking a toll on me. I am unable to concentrate and focus.
Is there any other possible reason for the bloating? I am a fairly thin person and bloating is evident.

Hi,

If you are so concerned about the bloating, which can have many causes that have nothing to do with pregnancy, see your doctor. But you are not pregnant, though you have convinced yourself you are. If you can't get over this, seek counseling for the sake of your health and well being.
