Question:
Hi Larry, My period is late for a few days but my period are quite irregular. I'm quite worried now because a month ago my boy friend and I had "dry humping" and we were both naked. We did not engage in sexual intercourse but still is there a chance of getting pregnant when there's no sexual intercourse? My boyfriend ejaculated away from me and I knew I'm quite safe. But lets say he had some pre-cum or cum when he fingered me, would it be possible for me to get pregnant? Help me please! I'm very worried.

Thanks for writing in and I understand your concern. It is EXTREMELY RARE that one could get pregnant the way you describe. Unfortunately, many people try to overplay the EXTREMELY RARE possibility of pregnancy happening without intercourse. Please check through my archives (particularly the previous question I answered) for more detailed information.

It's very common to have irregular periods at your age and I seriously doubt that your missed period had anything to do with what happened between you and your boyfriend (unless you were severly stressed - which can affect your periods). If you want to make absolutely sure, consider taking a home pregnancy test. I feel quite sure that it will turn out to be negative.

I hope this was of sosme help in easing your worry. Take care and be well.
