What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy Through Non Penetrative Sex?

default
Posted on Mon, 2 Feb 2015
Question: Okay first of all I apologise for the amount of information and the fact that it is probably not something you can definitively answer, I just would really appreciate someone's thoughts.

Almost nine weeks ago I was in sexual contact with my boyfriend. We were both naked and he was rubbing his penis against my vagina, but there was no penetration. This was two days before my period was due.
Two days after this my period came, so right on time. It was completely normal, lasting around 5 days and a normal flow.
I was not in any sexual contact the next month.
28 days after the period just mentioned, my next "period"came. However, unlike my normal period I had a light brown discharge instead. This lasted five days. On one evening I went to the bathroom and there was normal blood, but this cleared and the brown discharge continued. There was normal blood again one morning, and again it cleared and the discharge continued for another day or so. I started to get concerned cause I read that this sort of "period" could actually be implantation bleeding!
After this "period" finished I had a persistent pelvic and lower back ache which furthered my pregnancy concerns. This pain lasted about a week and a half.
I took a urine pregnancy test a week and a half after this "period" started and it was negative.
However I am still concerned.
Around 2 weeks ago (which would be almost 2 weeks since the odd period), my breasts became quite tingly and sore. This went on for a few days then stopped.

I went further than I should have gone, but for some reason I engaged in the same "sexual contact" that I have just described, later on. This happened 18 days after the very odd "period" began. Again he rubbed his penis against my vagina, and again there was no penetration.

It is now 30 days since the first day of my strange "period" and 12 days after the next sexual contact and my next period has not yet arrived!

My cycle normally is 28-31 days. I have been experiencing mild cramps (mainly in my sides and lower abdomen) and back ache for a couple of days. My cervical mucus is very light and congealed. I am extremely anxious at the moment and have basically been focused on the possibility of pregnancy since my last "period".

I am extremely concerned about the possibility that I could have became pregnant from a small amount of pre ejaculatory fluid, despite the fact that there was no penetration. I have read different opinions about the sperm content of pre ejaculate. It is my understanding that it is produced in a different gland from semen, but has the ability to pick up left over sperm from previous ejaculate when it passes through the urethra.

Again sorry for all the details and all the timelines, I would just really appreciate someone's opinion. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
No chance of pregnancy. Wait few more days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

In above sexual activity, you have NO chance of pregnancy. Therefore, you wouldn't be worried about that.

Hormonal imbalance and mental stress or anxiety can delay your period for 1 to 7 days from period due date. I suggest to await few more days to get period naturally as you have gotten Premenstrual Symptoms.

Pelvic infection, old endometrial tissue etc can lead to brown period discharge. You should maintain genital hygiene properly during those days.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and practice safe sex in future.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
