Q: 

Pregnancy worries WITHOUT intercourse?

I can't believe I'm asking this but I'm starting to freak out a little bit.
A few days after my period ended, my boyfriend and I were "messing around." He put his bare penis up to my bare vagina and started rubbing before I told him to stop and put on a condom. (I'm not on any other form of birth control right now.) No ejaculation and no penetration, just possible precm on my vagina.
I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now my period is a few days late - I've had some weird light brown spotting with period-esque cramps, but no period. My breasts are tender and look a little bigger to me, and my skin has absolutely exploded with acne (although that is not unusual for me). I'm kind of freaking out.

I am absolutely exhausted, but to be fair, I have been sleeping an average of four hours a night and have a whole lot of stress in my life right now. We haven't even had sex yet because I am undergoing treatment for vaginsmus - penetration and intercourse is too painful for me, something I'm working on with physical therapy.

I took a sensitive early test the day my period should have come, and it was negative, but still no period. A pregnancy would be absolutely devastating, especially without intercourse - I'm not even sure my boyfriend would believe me. :(

I should mention that I recently stopped taking the Pill because it was making me super depressed and physically ill. I was told to expect some cycle weirdness after stopping, but I'd gone through two full cycles and my period seemed perfectly normal.
Am I making myself nuts or is there a real risk here?

Thanks very much for your help.

Hello Anonymous,

Pregnancy is not possible without penetration and ejaculation. Sperm must enter the female to fertilize a released egg for conception to happen.

I do not know why you have not gotten a period yet. Stress, a hormonal imbalance, traveling and illness are just a few things that can delay the start of a period.

Brown vaginal discharge is old blood and uterine lining left from your last period. Please consider speaking with a gynecologist.

Regards,

Hello,
Right before I went off to college a friend that I had a thing with met up with me and we "messed around" but there was no penetration. It's been two weeks since that night and my hasn't had her period in two weeks. I hadn't ejaculated two days prior to our encounter that and I urinated literally right before we started engaging in contact. We were naked and my penis may have grazed over her vagina, I don't 100% remember. I ejaculated on her back and no semen got near her vagina area. We're both freaking out and I recommended that she goes to the doctor but she wants to give it another week. Should we be worried? This is her senior year and shes taking 7 classes so she is under a lot stress but she told me that stress have never caused her to miss her period before.

Hello Anonymous,

She could just take a home pregnancy test. Test in the morning and use the urine when she wakes up and uses the bathroom.

Stress can indeed delay the start of a period.

please respond to my last comment, it got worse, now she found an abnormal amount of cervical mucus by her vaginal opening that she said kind of looked like sperm or handsoap (before exposed to water) could this be another symptom ?! we're just really worried, we never have intercourse to not have to worry about these types of stuff but we dont understand why all the symptoms are there, we just need reassurance.

Hello Anonymous,

I can appreciate how worried both of you must be, but do try to calm down. The increased amount of vaginal discharge is most likely associated with ovulation and not pregnancy.

As I mentioned in my reply to your first post, I could not see how she would have been at any risk. Anxiety could be causing her to have diarrhea.

Maryann

thankyou Maryann, we just don't understand whats up with all the symptoms, she wasnt looking for them they just happen, today she woke up because she was feeling discomfort next to her bellybutton.
also, i dont think it coulve been ovulation because she tracks her cycles so she knows when shes obvulating and that was when everything happened, not right now. she says also that her vagina odor smells different but also thinks it could be an infection, she made an appointment with the doctor today. appreciate all your help, thankyou.

ok so my girlfriend has been experiencing cramps and her period is still 10 days away according to her calendar, also, she has headaches, and her breasts hurt, and her nipples get hard out of nowhere, plus in the mornings she wakes up with diarrhea. we've never had sex before but about a week ago we were "messing around" and she started touching me and a lil bit of precum came out, we both washed our hands with water and soap and then i started fingering her. after, she gave me a hand job and i ejaculated but it was very little and mostly ended up in her hands, she washed them and i took a shower, about thirty minutes later i was going to start fingering her again but she made me wash my hands first just in case. is there any way she couldve gotten pregnant out of this? also, we have dried humped as well but never naked, shes always wearing at least one or two layers of clothes and i have come on her clothes but only drops because i move before. Also ! that day we messed arround she told me she could tell she was ovulating because her cervical mucus was very slippery and eggwhiteish so thats why im worried please help!

Hello Anonymous,

From all that you shared, I cannot see any way she could have been at risk for becoming pregnant.

Hi people,
my girlfriend was on fertile period, she was grinding and rubbing on my penis... A little bit of precm was out of me (I had urinated before and it was ages since lad I ejaculated)
After a while I put a condom and went in. I ejaculated after I had pulled out. The condom didn't broke. Everything was fine I went to the bathroom I cleaned my penis and urinated and then after I came back she started to grind again. After a while I put a condom and went in again. Is there risk of pregnancy here?
Plus the day after I ejaculated in the morning and I urinated and in the afternoon we had oral and then she grinded and rubbed until I reach the orgasm which happened far from her. Any risk?
Would like to hear from you. Thank you very much.

Hi, my girlfriend and I were making out, then I rubbed my penis on her vagina. I didn't ejaculate, but I had precm on the outside of her vagina. I urinated a lot of times before that. Will she get pregnant? Thanks!
