Period is 2 weeks late
I just recently lost my virginity on July 1. I haven't had my period yet, which would make it about 2 weeks late. Some time in late June before I first had sex, my boyfriend and I were messing around. We "dry humped" naked, and I don't think he had any precum at that time. But before that, he had precum but then I gave him a blow job. Then on the night that we had sex, we "dry humped" naked again and I was feeling around to make sure if there was precum or not, and there was, so I made sure it didn't like drip down or anything. Then after that we had sex, but of course we used a condom. He didn't ejaculate while still inside of me, and I checked to make sure the condom didn't break by pouring water into it. And before we started having sex, I stood up to grab the condom and the tip of his penis touched my vagina for a brief second, but I'm not sure if it had precum on it or not.
The main things I am wondering and are worried about are:
- Is it possible to get pregnant if someone gets precum/semen on their hand/fingers and proceeds to finger you?
- Does sperm die when it makes contact with the air?
- Can sperm swim up into the vagina if it touches the outside/opening of the vagina?
- What are the chances of me being pregnant?
Here are some facts about me:
- I'm 18, 5'4", underweight (I weigh about 100 lbs).
- I've only had intercourse once.
- My period is really irregular. They can last for 1-2 weeks. My cycles can range from 15-50 days. I've also had 2 periods in 1 month before.
- My last period arrived on June 1 and ended on June 8.
- I normally don't experience any PMS symptoms, such as cramps.
- My diet has probably not been the best. I don't think I eat enough, and I bet I don't get the proper amount of nutrition and stuff that I need.
- I've been going to the bathroom more, and I know that could be a sign of pregnancy. Though, I've heard that pregnancy symptoms usually don't show up until you're about 6 weeks along. But for my last couple or few periods, I've experienced more urination.
- I think I remember seeing pinkish discharge when I wiped once, and I thought that could be my period. It was a small amount, but I've read that it could be implantation bleeding.
- I am generally a very paranoid person (haha), so I could just be worrying too much and overthinking every small detail.
I know there's probably a chance of being being pregnant, but how high do you think this chance is? This is all making me paranoid and stressing me out. It's probably not helping that I keep googling everything and am reading all these stories either! I just keep thinking of all these scenarios in my head. I know stress, being underweight, and other factors can contribute to a late period. I've also heard that losing your virginity can delay your period but I'm not sure if that's true. My boyfriend said that his ex was 2 weeks late with her period just because she lost her virginity. I've been thinking about taking a pregnancy test to ease my mind, but I'm really scared and nervous! From reading all these stories, I'm just really paranoid about getting a false negative, mistaking spotting/implantation bleeding for my period, being well into a pregnancy but not being aware of it whatsoever, being one of those women who still get their period but are unaware they're pregnant, not having any early pregnancy symptoms, mistaking pregnancy signs as PMS symptoms.... This all is just really stressing me out. It would be nice if someone could inform me on all of this! (And in the future, I will NOT be "dry humping" naked, just to be on the safe side since this is just too much stress for me!)

Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Like 05natalie05 I do not think your pregnant either. If anything I think you're stressing out about your first sexual experience and whether or not you are pregnant. Stress is the number 1 delayer of periods.
Let's put you mind at ease on this with a simple at home pregnancy test. I'm 99.99% sure it will be negative. If you're concerned with mom finding the test kit in the trash. Keep the kit in your purse, take the test in the morning. Repackage the kit afterwards put it back in your purse and dispose of it away from home.
Your 18 now an adult legally allowed to have a sex life if you want one. You are also allowed to ask your doctor for birth control and your parents have no right to know or to stop you from having birth control pills; even if you are still on their health insurance. You should be carrying a copy of their health insurance card with you at all times
As an adult you now have total medical confidentiality. Your doctors and dentists can no longer discuss your medical health with your parents without your expressed written permission. So if you want birth control ask your doctor for it, you cannot be refused except for medical reasons. If you are going to be sexually active birth control pills are the most effective form of birth control and backed up with a condom are almost 100% effective.
The only time a doctor may speak to your parents about your medical condition now or in the future, until you marry, is if you are unable to speak for yourself and the need consent for an operation.
05natalie05 did an excellent job of answering your questions though like her I do recommend you discuss them with your GYN as well. Remember the only dumb question is the one not asked. Also the questions you have asked have been heard before by your doctor and they will be only too glad to give you the proper answers.

Firstly, I don't think you are pregnant, because you said earlier that you have irregular periods, and you are stressing out, which can delay periods. Also, we aren't even sure that there was any pre-cum, and we aren't even sure, if there was any, that the sperm managed to enter your vagina and successfully make you pregnant. So, in my not-so-professional opinion, you are not pregnant.
I also think that you really need to see a doctor with these questions. People on the internet can give you advice on what they think is right (their opinion), and they can Google information to answer all your questions, but most (if not all) info from the internet is unreliable. Your most reliable source is your doctor, or your gynaecologist. I have heard that it is a good idea to start seeing a gynaecologist once you have sex, every year or so, just to check your lady bits are going well. But they can also help you see if you are pregnant right now, and answer all these questions you have (as well as giving you some peace of mind).
Right now you are worrying about things that aren't happening (what if I'm pregnant but I just think it is PMS symptoms? What if I get my period but I actually am pregnant? What if I get a false negative on the test?) You will drive yourself crazy with all these 'What if?'s. You seem like a really smart girl, and you've taken precautions to avoid getting pregnant, and this is a really good thing, but you won't solve anything by freaking yourself out.
So, go see a doctor :)
Also, I am going to try answer your questions (which your doctor could accurately answer for you):
- Is it possible to get pregnant if someone gets precum/semen on their hand/fingers and proceeds to finger you?
I think this is possible, but that is just going by what I have heard from others and read on the unreliable internet.
- Does sperm die when it makes contact with the air?
This website says that sperm dies when the semen dries on a surface (like a blanket) ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) And can last around 5 days in a human's body.
- Can sperm swim up into the vagina if it touches the outside/opening of the vagina?
Sperm can only swim inside your vagina. If it is on your skin outside your vagina, it will NOT be able to physically move itself into your vagina. (This is coming from my own knowledge, your doctor would be able to give you a correct answer)
- What are the chances of me being pregnant?
I personally think the chances of you being pregnant are very slim. Ask your doctor, or do an at-home pregnancy test (these are not always reliable, so I would see a doctor instead if I was in your shoes). If you use an at-home pregnancy test, you should always confirm with your doctor anyway. Also places like Family Planning Clinics can perform a pregnancy test for you, if you don't want to see your doctor. Don't worry yourself, they are just urine or blood tests.
Good luck, and relax a bit :)
