Question:
Okay i swear i may die of stress. Please, someone end my misery! I know how stupid this was, im 15 and my boyfriend and i were fooling around when i said that he could put his head into my vagina. It only lasted for around 30 seconds and he hadnt come that day or for the last 2 days before. I'm just wondering if i could be pregnant from some of his precum from that short amount of time. I dont even know if there was any...but im so stressed out i cant eat, sleep, or concentrate on anything. Please someone help me?

Ok Darling,
You did not exactly engage in the safest behavior, having unprotected sex and all, but you know that already right? Unprotected sex can lead you directly to the "I'm Pregnant" space in life.
So, from what you write in, it sounds like you are NOT likely to be pregnant due to the fact that he did not ejaculate in you.
Some medical experts say precum contains sperm, some say it doesn't, so when in doubt, err on the side of caution and pretend it could.
So what can you do now? You do have one option left to reduce the chances of pregnancy happening -go get Emergancy Contraception! Find your nearest Planned Parenthood or Women's Health Clinic (find them in the yellow pages or by going to www.ppfa.org) and tell them you need Emergancy Contraception. In most states you will be able to get Emergancy Contraception at a women's health clinic without your parents permission if you are not comfortable talking to them about this. If you contact your regular doctor, they may tell your parents. Everything at Planned Parenthood is completely confidential so you don't have to worry about anything.
Emergancy Contraception works by preventing a pregnancy from happening, it does not end a pregnancy. So, if you are already pregnant and take the pills, you will remain pregnant. How does it work? It prevents an egg from attaching to the lining of your uterus, which needs to happen in order to get pregnant. You need to get this pill in you within 120 hours though after the unprotected sex happened, otherwise it won't work! So time is of the essence here. This pill will only work for the unprotected sex you had in the past 120 hours, nothing more, so it's a one time deal. This pill reduces the chances of you getting pregnant up to 75%, much better than sitting on your hands hoping and praying you don't get preg. And, you can relax, which is very important because if you are stressed, which you pointed out you are, it can make your period late, which will make you think you are pregnant, adding more stress-not a good cycle!
If you have missed the window of opportunity to take Emergancy Contraception, you can take a pregnancy test 2 weeks after the "accident" happened. You don't need to wait till your period is missed to take it, but if it comes back negative for pregnancy, redo it after your period is missed just to be on the safe side.
So, here's the recap. The chances of you becoming pregnant from this encounter sound slim, but go get Emergancy Contraception to be on the safe side. To find a clinic near you, go to www.ppfa.org and click on the state you live in. Or call the toll free number 1 800 230 Plan (won't show up on your phone bill) and you can find a clinic near you that way. Take the pills ASAP and then make sure the next time you hook up, use a condom, even if it's "just his head". Approach using condoms as fun, not something you have to do in order to get to the fun. Put the condom on for him! He's not going to object to you touching his penis-that's what it's there for!
Or, go on some other type of birth control method, so next month, you're not stressing.
Good Luck and thanks for writing in!
