Pregnancy fear

[anon27600]

I’m 17 and boyfriend is 19. he came over yesterday (now because it’s 1AM, but it was just a few hours ago.) while I’m on my period. The flow felt like it was too much to have penetrative sex, but things happened and I ended up giving him a blow/ hand job. Minutes later, i got up, went to the bathroom and changed my pad, without washing my hands yet. I tried to use the other hand to be safe but ended up touching the top of it with the hand that I got sperm onto. I didn’t feel like I needed to be too worried because i’m on birth control, and it didn’t seem like that would get me pregnant. Despite not having penetrative sex I did orgasm, I’m not going to say how because it’s a little embarrassing lol but i read online that that is what could have caused this. Randomly, (or not so randomly...) my period drastically got lighter a few hours after my boyfriend left. is there any possible chance of pregnancy? Should I take plan-B? I have a job & can pay for it but I’ve been trying to save my money.. Is it worth it to buy it or is my anxiety without reason? I feel like it’s important to mention I suffer from severe anxiety. Also, I ended up falling asleep and taking my birth control a few hours late... which is not abnormal for me unfortunately. But I never skip a pill.
