Question Posted Friday September 28 2007, 12:31 am
I'm 17 and my boyfriend and I were at the beach about 2 weeks ago. we were fooling around a little bit but we weren't having sex and for a really brief moment i was straddleing his errection. we were both wearing bathing suits but there were kind of wet. Now i'm 3 days late on my period. is there a good chance somthing could have happened due to that. we havnt had sex all month just that one instance stands out in my mind. I'm also really stressed and iknow that can contribute to the length of a menstraul cycle. help
The word 'chance' is the key thing here. I would never advocate not protecting yourself when engaging in sexual activity, but when worrying about pregnancy it's worth remembering that all situations are not equal. Your chances of being pregnant from this encounter are minimal.
If your period has not arrived after a week, you may want to buy a pregnancy test, read the instructions carefully, and take it. If you need further info about tests, feel free to get in touch.
In the meantime, it might be worth considering what, if anything, you would do differently the next time you were in this situation.
