Can fear over being pregnant make symptoms appear?

i am a virgin. a penis has come in contact with my vagina for less than a second. he wiped it with his hand before the run in happened. right afterwards i wiped off. no penetration occurred. WHY AM I FREAKING OUT?

it happened a month ago on the last day of my period. i have very irregular periods and hardly ever get them because of my weight. lately i think i have been so nervous about the posibility of being pregnant that i am putting false symptoms into my head. i feel slight cramps, my boobs are sore, bloating some days, ive been pooping more than usual since around saturday, and since yesterday ive been peeing more. i think this is because i have been pushing on my uterus (and probably bladder) to see if its hard to see if a babys there. its been a light yellow which isnt my normal color. crazy right?! im thinking its just pms or extreme anxiety.

can someone please calm my nerves or tell me if theyre going through the same thing?
anything at all would be helpful to calm me down.

Im 16 and a **** has enter my vagina for a few seconds when my bf was rubbing it. I know it was a stupid thing to do and I promise I won't do it again but I have irregular periods that have been on Fridays mainly. Sometimes it is after my friends but I can't get a hold of her I am afraid of being pregnant. I have been feeling sick and lightheaded. I have not vomited and everything else is normal.no cravings just the two things. It has been going on for a week and I haven't told anyone. My room is very hot and it is usually 20 degrees or higher outside and in my room. I have been lazy and am afraid I am pregnant. Can some one plz help me and calm me down

it can happen. my mother was a nurses aid at the #1 baby hospital in pgh and she saw women who were 100% sure they were pregnant and turns out they weren't. they were so sure and had it so in their heads they actually had "pregnant" bellies and were lactating.

False pregnancy, most commonly termed pseudocyesis in humans and pseudopregnancy in other mammals, is the appearance of clinical and/or subclinical signs and symptoms associated with pregnancy when the person or animal is not pregnant. Clinically, false pregnancy is most common in veterinary medicine (particularly in dogs and mice). False pregnancy in humans is less common, and may sometimes be purely psychological.

Honey, you just need to calm down.  Intercourse did not take place so you have nothing to worry about.  It is natural for you to be worried but my advice is to remember how scared you are right now and stay a virgin.  That is a great thing to be not many girls can say that these days. So keep it that way and you won't have to feel this way again.  Take care.
