Pregnancy after Plan B?
To start off, I have an anxiety disorder and am prone to panic attacks etc. which is basically what started this off.
My boyfriend and I were fooling around last month (around sept 30), he fingered me, but his penis was NOT involved in any way. It NEVER even came out of his pants.
However, I knew I was ovulating then, and got really paranoid that he had masturbated before seeing me, not washed his hands and then gotten sperm inside me when he fingered me (I've read that sperm can survive up to four hours outside of the body). After worrying about this for about a day and having a panic attack, I took some Plan B that I got incase of emergency (contraceptive failure etc. even though I'm not having sex, I just figured it's better to have it then not have it incase I ever needed it).
Later that month we were dry humping and I had on underwear and sweat pants and he had on boxers with his penis out, and I got a little spot of pre-*** on my sweat pants. I was worried this might cause me to get pregnant (Plan B could have delayed my ovulation to around then).
However, I then got my period on Oct 17. It lasted about 5 days. 2 heavy days, 3 days light/spotting. What I found really strange was, after my period ended I had some light spotting on oct 26/27 and my PMS symptoms never went away. I still have tender breasts, cramping, headaches, mood swings etc. Also, my lower abdomin seems swollen/enlarged. I've had 2 negative pergnancy tests, but could I have taken them too early to be accurate? Is it possible that somehow these unlikely activities got me pregnant?

STOP DRINKING COFFEE. Sweetie, I hate to say it, but you are being ridicuolous. I'm a 30 year old woman and if you are acting this way you shouldn't even be fooling around with boys, period. What in your life are you escaping from - the real fear you are avoiding - through these paranoid fantasies of yours?
Girl, you are going to give yourself a heart attack if you keep going on like this. And if and when you do decide to become pregnant, you're going to freak out your kids.
Stay away from stimulants, sugar and carbs, stay as alkaline as possible by eating fresh fruits and salads everyday (try to stay organic), exercise regularly, lay off the meds and check into seeing a good therapist who will help you deal with what is really going on. Those meds (which will make you really moody for awhile - do you have any idea how much hormone you pumped into yourself after your relatively innocent sexual act?) and other chemicals like food additives, pesticides, preservatives, and whatever else you are being guided to take by society are going to make you totally nuts.
Good luck, Sister.

I am not currently being treated at all for anxiety, it's mostly been about my health and so my doctor and mother have decided to not do anything about it other than test me for pretty much anything that could be wrong with me to stop me from worrying and panicking over it. However, I really don't feel that telling me nothing is wrong with me will help because I can't stop worrying even though I know there's nothing wrong (like being pregnant, for example, after having done nothing that could get me pregnant, taking plan b, getting my period and having 2 negative pregnancy tests I am still terrified that I am pregnant). My doctor is supposed to be doing a vaginal exam and possibly ultrasound to check for uterine/ovarian cysts/fibroids (I have a family history) sometime next week so maybe if I have proof that there is nothing inside me then I will be able to stop worrying. A doctor would be able to tell if I was pregnant from an exam/possible ultrasound... right?
As you already noted, there isn't anything anyone can say that will make you feel better. If you aren't currently taking medication to control your anxiety (and if you are, talk to your doctor about maybe adjusting it) and seeing a therapist, I strongly suggest doing so. Therapy can help you learn new ways of coping with your anxiety, while medication can help take the edge off :-)
Thanks very much, I doubted it, but sometimes there are things I just can't stop worrying about. If I were pregnant I would be 7 weeks pregnant (assuming that my period in September was a real period), so I'd probably have symptoms or something, right? And, if my period in september WEREN'T real, then I'd DEFINATELY have symptoms, right? cause I'd be 12 weeks pregnant...
All I have right now is a lot of cramping/sore stomach (it's getting better though), a little nausea (also a little better now), very irritable/moody, tummy sticking out a little (which is weird because I've lost a few pounds, not gained any, and it's just my lower abdomen, not upper...) and probably the worst breakout I've had it my life, but I've heard that this could be my body readjusting from the Plan B, since the doctor who gave it to me said that a lot of people's bodies take a couple of months to get back to normal after such a large dose of horomones. S
o I probably don't have anything to worry about... right? (Sorry, I still can't stop worrying, but I don't think taking another hpt would make me feel better either since I've been hearing about how inaccurate they can be and how even blood pregnancy tests aren't always accurate...)

If you are being truthful about everything you have done (and not done) sexually, then you cannot be pg. No way, no how. The stress of worrying about this is what has affected your period.
Please stop stressing, from the activities you describe you WILL NOT be pregnant! It would be an absolute miracle to be pregnant after the contact you descibe. Have you thought about gooing on the pill to put your mind at ease for the future so that you don't go through this panic again?
hi i very much doubt your pregnant pritty much i would say no but i cant say that for sure and no semen can not live outside of the body for long as soon as the air hits it starts dying within minutes i no this as i actually collect semen for a living in a lab i hear all these crazy answers about it from other people but i spose you beleive what you like.you are probly just worrying yourself into those symptoms it does happen if you think about it to much also your abdomen wont shouldnt be hard this early on in pregnancy what 2 weeks at max nah best of luck let us no
