Is Pregnancy Possible Through Non Penetrative Intercourse?

default
Posted on Sat, 17 Jan 2015
Question: I am starting to get concerned.
6 and a half weeks ago now 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 has lasted about a week and a half and now seems to have eased.
I took a urine pregnancy test a week and a half after this "period" started and it was negative.
However I am still concerned.
Yesterday (which would be almost 2 weeks since the odd period), my breasts became quite tingly. This has continued today.
My main concern is the possibility of pregnancy, and if not, what else could be up.
Any advice is much appreciated.

Brief Answer:
The chances of pregnancy are very less.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern here.

The probabilities of pregnancy are very less in your case as you had no penetration during sex and you had normal menses after that.

There are so many causes of your symptoms and the most common causes are hormonal imbalance, PCOD, thyroid problem and infection.

You should consult a gynecologist and get yourself examined and investigation performed to rule out the cause.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
