This isnt exactly answering your question but if you did not have actual intercourse then there is almost less than a 1 percent chance you can get pregnat.

Yes.
Many women experience bleeding around the time of their expected period even though they are pregnant. It isn't the same kind of bleeding, really, but many women say it appears to look exactly the same. The doctors say that the lining of the uterus has yet to thicken up to allow the baby to attach to the uterine wall properly so some of it will break off and cause some bleeding. Doctors claim that this is not harmful to the baby in any way but you should still contact them if you are pregnant.
If you're sexually active--which you would be considered so since you engage in sexual activities--then you should be seeing a doctor for your regular female check-ups to ensure your health. They can pinpoint your irregularities in periods and help you to prevent pregnancy if you so desire.
Your partner should wash his hands before touching your vagina. Bacteria from the hands can cause you to develop infections. For further note, the fingernail beds (deep under the nails) can harbor some nasty viruses, including HPV strains (some that can cause genital warts) and herpes. Although, if your partner did not have semen on his hands (no moisture at all from the penis) then you probably did not come in contact with sperm.
For peace of mind, purchase a few home pregnancy tests and test yourself occassionally if your period does not come within the next couple of weeks. Some home pregnancy tests are better than others. According to a couple of studies done, First Response and Early Result Pregnancy Test are the two best kinds to purchase because they are slightly more sensitive than the others. You may want to pick up a couple of those for home usage too.
See your doctor for your annual exams to make sure everything is functioning properly. Many women wait until an underlying problem is more apparent, causing symptoms to worsen and treatment to be more intense. You may also want to go for a complete STD screening to ensure you are a clean person, especially if you have been with more than one person in ANY sexual way. I also suggest that you ask them to include herpes on their test, as it's something you typically have to request for them to check for but requires no additional cells.
I hope you get things figured out! If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me directly! :)
