Q: 

I hadn't protected sex a couple of weeks ago, and my period is 9 days late. I have regular pms symptoms, and my schedule has changed a lot and added stress. Is there any chance I am pregnant?

It's my 47th day of my cycle, although I usually have irregular cycles I hadn't been late for a while. I've never had intercourse but there was an instance where body parts were rubbed but nothing else happened, no penetration no ejaculation. This was on what I think was my most fertile day, which is why I decided to stop things and didn't continue (it didn't even last for a minute and they barely touched). I've had horrible breast pain for the past four days as well as tiny cramps here and there. I kept thinking my period was coming but it hasn't, I goggled my symptoms and it says it may be early signs of pregnancy. Could I have gotten pregnant from the scenario I described above?

Hello Anonymous,

Without having unprotected intercourse, I do not see a risk for becoming pregnant.

Thanks! So there is a slim chance of pregnancy?

Hello Anonymous,

Only if you had unprotected sex since your last period. Then you should test.

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to our community.

Stress and a change in your daily schedule can cause a delay in the start of your period.
