I started my last period on May 25. I should have started it again around June 22; it's now the 26th and it's still late.



I am wondering the how likely is it that I'm pregnant. I'm a virgin, but my boyfriend and I still do "stuff"... i.e dry humping, but we always wear underwear at least. And I'm never in contact with him while he ejaculates... and afterwards he changes underwear and puts his pants back on. We're very very careful about that kind of thing.



On May 31 and June 7 we did this. On the 7th, we took a shower together, but our genitalia didn't touch, nor did ejaculation take place. So I'm wondering if it could be at all possible that I'm pregnant, or am I just being extremely paranoid?



Anyway, I'm also stressed out lately. June was a busy month at work, and I'm dealing with some family issues right now. Also my weight has increased by 10 lbs or so... I've not been eating very healthy, not to mention last week I ate nothing but salads in hopes of losing weight... so I've been going from one extreme to the next- trying to eat too healty, or eating really greasy bad food.



I'm not experiencing the usual cramping [thought I was but its just gas... is that anything significant, that I have had bad gas these past few days?], but my breasts are the sorest and most tender that they have ever been. My nipples are extremely sore, I'm bloated, my legs hurt, I've had headaches... those symptoms can either be either pregnancy or getting ready to start your period.



I'm just so confused and worried to death. I guess I should take a home pregnancy test, but I don't wanna waste the money if it's unlikely I'm pregnant, and that's all the sexual activity I've done in June- just what I previously mentioned.



HELP!

ALSO:

I pay close attention to my discharge, kinda just to see when I'm ovulating.
Had my cycle been perfect this month, I was supposed to ovulate around the 7th or 8th.
However, I didn't notice any of the sticky, stringy, clumpy discharge that comes with ovulation until the 13th of June... it lasted probably until the 16th-17th. Would this have anything to do with my period not arriving yet?

Sherrah,

Dont fret to much! You are a virgin, so you are not prego. You actually answered your own question. Stress and weight gain or weight loss are the 2 major factors that affect your cycle. Relax, get back on track with your weight and you should be fine. You cant get pregnant if you dont have intercourse. Feel better!!

My period finally arrived yesterday ^_^ Yay!

I know it's not likely to get pregnant, but I have heard that you can get pregnant doing things other than intercourse... as long as there is a chance that semen comes in contact with your vagina, there is a chance you can get pregnant. I'm positive that no semen came in contact with my vagina, but I'm definitely the paranoid type. lol

I wish mine would get here. I'm worried. I know I'm not pregant. My bf and I haven't had sex in month. We decided it was safer. It's has always been on time since I stopped having sex. I just hope there's nothing wrong.
