Is Pregnancy Possible Through Non-penetrative Intercourse?

default
Posted on Mon, 2 Feb 2015
Question: Could this get me pregnant? Or am I just paranoid? Basically I was fooling around with my boyfriend and he was thrusting his penis against my vagina but I stopped it before it went any further... I don't really know about pre ejaculate (he hadn't ejaculated recently and had definitely urinated before hand, so surely the chances of there being sperm present is low??), it seems to say different things about it depending on where you look (I wouldn't ever risk the pull out method anyway) but is this just as bad as pull out? Thing is it was day 18 of my cycle so I'm scared there could have been a possibility I was ovulating...what are my chances of getting pregnant from this? My period was due yesterday but has not yet arrived and currently I don't have any obvious pms symptoms other than some mild cramping and lower back ache.... I have noticed that my cervix is low, hard and ever so slightly open, and my mucus is quite congealed.... could I have a chance of being pregnant? I'm scared my period won't come!! I have a cycle of roughly 28-31 days. What do you reckon? I am just being paranoid? I know this is a bit of a pathetic question and I'm sure you have more important ones to answer but I just need someone's opinion.

Brief Answer:
Wait for a few days.

Detailed Answer:
I do not think that there is a risk of pregnancy in your case, as penetration did ont occur as per your version.
Wait it out for a few more days, am sure you would have your period.
Also, stress itself can lead to menstrual delay.
