Just being paranoid, but a very specific situation. Pregnancy?

I did read the posts above about posting 'am i pregnant' questions on a different thread but that seems to be closed..

The first time that my boyfriend and I had sex, the condom was on safely, but no cum because I couldn't stand it for long (it hurt. so badly.)
yesterday, we tried again, but the condom ripped, and we're not sure how long it has been ripped until we noticed. He says he did not cum, but there is the chance of precum having carried out some sperm. I am expecting my period on the 26th (four days after this happened.) but my periods have been irregular. Since june, ive had 31 days, 22 days, 22 days, and 26 days cycles.
No cum and probably not fertile yesterday, but slight chances from precum and irregular cycles. Should I still be worried?
thanks in advance!

Chances are extremely low. Semen needs to be involved for fertilization. A penis being inside you does not equate the possibility of being pregnant, there needs to be sperm involved. Try a different type of condom if the ones you have now continue to rip, or try out a more regular form of birth control like the pill so you can put your mind at rest.

So can anyone help me? Last month I got my period four days late because I was stressing over possibly being pregnant. Me and my boyfriend have been together four years and we just recently started having sex. We ALWAYS use protection. We use condoms, and* he pulls out with the condom on, before he ejaculates. This month I am 11 days late and I am freaking out. I have a period tracker on my phone and we did not have sex around my fertile or ovulating time, and once again, we used protection like always. I do not have any symptoms except for cramping/abdominal pain. On the fourth day of my missed period I took a HPT and it came back negative. On the 6th day I had a rush of brown/red blood (sorry tmi) and thought it was my period, however, when I checked the tampon I had put in, there was nothing there at all. I have not had any spotting since then. I got super scared over this because I have read that implantation bleeding can also occur after your late period, so I'm terrified I'm truly baffled over all of this! I am not on birth control but will be within the next two months. Deep down, I do not believe I am pregnant but I cannot help but worry. I am thinking I am late due to stress, but can stress really make me this late?? Thoughts, anyone???

I am in the same boat Kayla. Patiently waiting. Did you ever get it?

Kayla - as ItsASecret said, pregnancy requires semen - generally semen deposited DEEP in the vagina, near the cervix. Condoms are an effective method of birth control; you don't have to ALSO pull out while using them, but since you do, it would practically be a miracle if you became pregnant.

Moreover, a HPT can be effective a few days before your period, so by the time your period is actually missed, it's VERY reliable.

So calm yourself and take a deep breath. You've done everything in your power to avoid pregnancy and find out if you were pregnant, and it all points to NO.
