Probably not Preggo, but...

Hi there.

I am 95% sure that I'm psyching myself out for this one, but I wanted to see what other people thought. My last period started the 29th of July, and I was supposed to get mine around Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Sometimes my periods are much shorter than 28 days, sometimes 22 or 24 days, so it's a little bit surprising that it's been 30 days today.

What I am worried about is the tiny possibility of being pregnant. My boyfriend and I have messed around quite a bit, though we haven't had sex. But I believe there have been instances where he could've gotten some of his precum or otherwise on his hand, or very close/touching the outside of my vagina. I know the possibility is very small, but I've read about possibilities for late periods and it has me freaked out a little. I have been having period-like cramps, but no period. I also was sick with a nasty cold during this past weekend, and took pain relievers/major cold medicine, if that helps.

So if anyone could put me at ease, besides my body, that would be incredibly helpful.

I've done practically same thing, and same thing happened to me! I'm 2 weeks late but we weren't naked or anything but rolled around, I've had a lot of discharge and period cramps, praying im really late!

I did end up starting my period today, so that's a huge relief. A 32 day cycle is a new thing for me, but definitely not complaining. Thank you to everyone, much appreciated <3

good luck and stay in school dont stress about it because the mind is very powerful and your period will delay

At this point, if I'm going by a 28 day cycle, I'm only three days late. I don't think that constitutes a pregnancy test. If I don't get a period within the next two weeks or so, I think I'll be a little more concerned and will probably take one. I didn't really put into account that I just started up school again and my sleeping pattern went from waking up at 10-11am every day to waking up at 6:30am every day. So for right now, I'm just trying to relax.

There's like a 5% chance of you becoming pregnant out of 100% sperm has to be in a well luberciated area to survive so any sperm being on a hand(finger)ext. is not going to stay alive so the chances of you becoming pg are slim to none if you trying to avoid getting pg plz try birth control pretty sure you will start your cycle soon hope this helped

I hope that's the case for you too! I saw another post fairly similar to mine, and the woman ended up getting hers pretty quickly after noticing it's skipped. I just wanted to see what anyone's opinion is.
