I need reassurance on preg scare, please help!

[hungrypenguin_]

I had unprotected sex on may 29th during my third day period. He did not ejaculate inside of me nor we continued doing it (it was getting really painful for me). He only had precum which he said he wiped off.

After and excruciating two weeks, I finally got my period on july 26th, during my usual schedule plus nothing weird about the flow whatsoever and I never had sex again after that. I got my period again last month on june 28th but for some reason i'm still anxious, I keep checking my body, specifically my stomach to see if it's gotten bigger the past few months, i'm like completely petrified.

I need some reassurance really badly

Hey hungrypenguin, welcome to the boards

I want to clarify your timeline first — it sounds like you had periods consistently for the last two months. Is that right? If so, that’s a very good indication that you’re not pregnant. Have you taken a pregnancy test to confirm this?

Even if your partner does not ejaculate, any instance of unprotected genital-to-genital contact does pose a risk to pregnancy. It sounds like you’re most likely not pregnant from this particular instance because you’ve had two periods since, but for the future it’ll be important to use protection (either with birth control or a barrier method like a condom).

Yes! I had two consistent periods for the last two months and i did not have sex during my last period till now but i'm still anxious for some reason i can't take a pregnancy test due to still living in my house with my parents and having extremly strict parents.

But having two consistent periods means that i am completely safe, right?

Ah, I understand. It sounds like it may not be easy to access a pregnancy test, but truly if you’re getting regular periods you cannot be pregnant.

Do you know how to access safer sex supplies like condoms or birth control?

I'm not planning on having sex with a man again in the near future, but i do know how to access birth control. In my country atleast

Hi Hungrypenguin,

Fair enough--feel free to let us know if you do ever want more advice on safer sex/birth control. <3

(FYI, having sex with a man is not the same thing as having sex that can cause pregnancy. Those two categories may go together for you often enough, but it can help to keep in mind that there are men with whom you could not get pregnant, and people of other genders with whom you could. And if you have sex that cannot cause pregnancy with someone who isn't a man, it is still important to go about that safely to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.)

Oh absolutely! I totally wrote that wrongly. I meant that i'm going to be complitely abstinence for the time being. Thank you so much for your help <3
