Worried
Posted: 07-16-04 13:28pm

My boyfriend and I were fooling around and we were both naked but not having sex but I was on top of him and his penis was between my legs close to my bottom. He came and it got on me and a lil 'down there' about 1-2 minutes after I ran over to the shower to rinse it off...Meanwhile I was trying my best to keep 'her' closed as to prevent any semen from getting in. I rinsed and washed in the shower and then wiped afterwards or possibly before I showered...Dont quite remember=/. But im just worried of possibly becoming pregnant im only 17. We're both very nervous it happened about 3 weeks ago...I feel fine except when I get stressed or worried about something I feel slightly sick and now im worried im confusing that with signs of pregnancy.I should be starting my period within the next couple of days or week but im worried stress may prevent my period from coming as some doctors say it does.Please give me advice or reassurance of some kind.


Thanks so much.

I don't think that you have anything to worry about. I have been in a similar situation several times and nothing ever came of it. Try not to stress about it too much though cause it could prevent you period from coming. Good luck to ya :d

Thanks. We've both been doing a lot of research and so far the chance are slim since I did all those things and the scientific factors as well,life span of the sperm and egg if I was ovulating but we're pretty sure I wasnt. But please any more advice would be really helpful.

Well, the best way to not get pregnant is to use a barrier (condom),even if there is no actual penetration or to use the pill.It sounds as if you aer playing a dangerous game.You could very easily get carried away and not stop and have intercourse.It is easy to do and when you are both in the heat of the moment,oops,too late,mommy.Be safe-not sorry!

Yes im aware of that. Thats why we both made sure to stop immediately and we've had a discussion of it and wont be doing anything like that again. Thank you for your concern.

I know exactly how you're feeling, girlie36. It is easy to get carried away. I had a few similar encounters w/ my boyfriend, and twice, we got kind of carried away, and there was actual penetration, though he pulled out soon after that occurred. The last time it happened was about 2 1/2 weeks ago, immediately after my period, and it really spooked me, so a week ago, I went to the doctor and got the pill (which i'd been wanting to get for a while because of my irregular periods). The hcg test they administered turned up negative, and I haven't had any pregnancy symptoms, so the doctor said it wasn't likely that I was pregnant, but she gave me an approximate window during which I should be getting my period. "if you don't get your period within the next ten days or so, come back in and we'll have to see if something's going on. For now, we'll say you're not pregnant until proven otherwise." i've tried not to think about it, but i'm still waiting for my period. It's been 7 days since my visit, and I only have 3 days left until my period shows up. I haven't had any pregnancy symptoms, but i've been worrying myself nearly sick. I've been trying not to think about it, but my stomach has just been in knots over this one. I've been constantly going to the restroom just to check for any traces of blood since my visit, but to no avail. It's aggravating, because I just want to see my period already so that I know i'm not pg, and I know that stressing myself senseless is only going to make matters worse. #1--i have highly irregular periods (ranging from 30--15 day cycles), #2--stress has been known to throw girls' cycles off. I'm so scared, and i'm just absolutely kicking myself for putting myself in this position.

You could conceivably get pregnant from semen on the vulva if you are ovulating. Since you expect your period in more than a week you could have been fertile at the time. Washing the area right away was a good thing and you probably don't have a problem. Remember in the future about the morning after pill, which some places don't even need a prescription. Either use a condom, be on the pill or keep his penis away if he ejaculates. It only takes one sperm.

There are real good odds you have nothing to worry about, however I have heard of stranger things. From a guys prospective i've had a simalur worry, and it turned out o.K. I know everyone will tell you that both man and woman have to take equal responsibility for everything. Take my word, the woman has to take control of the mans aggresiveness, so make sure there is something is between you from now on. People are going to condem me for saying that, but two wrongs definately will not make a right in this case.

Just an update...I havent started my period yet...Most likely due to stress and sometimes I just dont have it every month...I feel no different at all ive discussed the situation with my mom and older sister. Hopefully things will work out for the best. Any more reassurance would be very helpful.

I hope everything works out for you!I know for my own peace of mind,i went on birth control.I could not take the "waiting game" every month.What a stressful way to spend every 28 days.For you to say you and your boyfreind wil not be doing anything like that again is not likely,unless you have super control of your emotions and hormones!Just go on birth control or use condoms or something!Don't play russian roulette with your reproductive system.I remember when I was 17,i did not want to stop being intimate once I started and it is very easy to get carried away when everything is feeling soooooooo good.Be safe,not sorry!Patty Smile

Just another update! I started finally and on schedule too since my mom and sister and I always start one right after the other and they were all a lil later than usual, stinks for my dad being the only guy in the house...Haha..But ive definitely learned my lesson and me being a person who worries like crazy to the point where even if I was on birth control or using a condom id still worry about that 1% because I always say to myself if theres a chance theres a chance. When I was 14 I missed my period and I was freaking out even though I hadnt even had my first kiss yet and my sister told me you could get pregnant without sex...Even though I knew that was impossible I still worried...Haha im not that bad anymore though.Safest way is not doing it at all and if my bf all of a sudden has a problem with it then thats his problem. I definitely wont be putting myself in this position again. Definitely a lesson learned. Ive always been good at having self control but I will be sure not to let things slip up like they did. We decided even before the whole scare that we werent going to do anything like that again because we're too young and shouldnt have to worry about these things and its been a month and we havent done anything intense and we're both totally fine with it..That was definitely the first and last time. We try not to base our relationship on the physical aspect and I think we've done a pretty good job this friday will be our 10 month and still no fights haha!We have an amazing relationship and id hate to disrupt it with worrying about things like this. Thanks to everyone for their advice and support I really really appreciate it.

Sorry thats way long!
