Could I be pregnant

[Jay71]

A couple of weeks ago I was fooling around with my boyfriend. I got some preejaculation on my hands. About half an hour later I went to the bathroom and wiped without washing my hands first. Last Friday/Saturday my period started about 2 days before I finished my birth control pills for the month (It usually does, my doctor and I are working on resolving this) with all of the usual symptoms such as cramps. It was very dark and took approximately 3 days before it became like my period. It stayed like this for 2 days and now it has started to behave like the end of my period and slow down. Could I be pregnant? My overall period was lighter than usual. I also have an issue with my thyroid and my medication for this was increased in the last month. I have been on the Birth Control Pill for about 6 months.

HI!
I agree with the other two respondents that it is very unlikely that you are pregnant.  You could always take a test if that would be reassuring.  By the way, there is nothing wrong with starting your period 2 days early if you have no other problems with that particular pill.  Just plan for two days early. The dark blood and slight amount are simply because the pill prevents a large build up inside your uterus, and the blood is flowing out slowly.
Good luck!

From what you have said, I wouldn't worry to much about it. I would think that it would be very unlikely to get pregnant that way.

It is very unlikely that you got pregnant from that. It is hard to get pregnant from preejaculation as it is much less from wiping with it on your hands..I wouldn't worry to much.

hi im 5 months pregnant....your pregnancy tests may come up neg...because its too early to tell...i'm pretty sure you have to be at least 4 to 6 weeks along for the test to show a real positive or negative ...and to jay71...i very highly doubt that could happen...sperm only lives 2 hours outside the body....
