Was this situation risky?
Hiiii, this is my first post here
And it's because of a situation I had
Exactly a week ago my gf and I were dry humping and I climaxed when I was on top of her. I had boxers on, and she had her underwear and leggings.
I got off her just a few seconds later, and layed down by her side while we were kissing.
The thing is, after that, a very few minutes later, we were talking and she reached my penis with her hand, feeling how the semen not only was on my boxers, but also on the sheets.
She got worried and touched her clothes to see if she didn't have a stain of semen on them, which she told me there wasn't, but the next day she told me she was overthinking about it a lot and that there might have been a stain on her clothes.
I believe there's no risk, but... Randomly during these days I get super worried and start overthinking this situation over and over; even more after she told me that the next day after that, the thursday, her period should've come, and it hasn't since that day.
But... Uhhhh, last time, her period came with a whole month of delay, so... This is confusing for me.

Re: Was this situation risky?
Hi Geo, there is not a real risk of pregnancy if you’re both wearing clothes like leggings and boxers. Even if only one of you was, that’s enough of a barrier to prevent sperm to do anything meaningful. It’s normal for periods to sometimes be delayed, most people’s cycles aren’t the exact same every month and things like stress can actually delay periods, so if she’s worried, I suggest letting her know there isn’t a pregnancy risk here.

Re: Was this situation risky?
Hi.
I've been trying to delay my response just to see how things go and... They're not doing so well.
Uhhmm... It's been 9 days since her period should've come, and it hasn't.
I've already talked to her and tried to calm her down, but still, the fact that it hasn't come makes us worried a lot.
Could this mean something really wrong happened?
Or could it be caused by something else?
Last time, around November last year, it happened something similar, her period came in October and it didn't came during the whole month of November until December, can it be caused by pregnancy this time?, or could there be any other cause for those delays?.
I might add this since I think could be relevant, she does 3 night shifts a week in a hospital as a nurse, with rest days in between. Could it be because of that?
But this is just her second time with this sort of problem and she started with her practice around July last year
I'm really confused and anxious about all this situations and I can't seem to find peace at all

Re: Was this situation risky?
Hello Geo!
I'm sorry to hear that this situation has you and your girlfriend feeling so anxious. I fully see how these delays with her cycles would be stressful and confusing, but don't worry, we can think through this issue together.
First, let's consider what we know for sure: As Sofi discussed earlier, there is no chance of pregnancy if you and your girlfriend were wearing clothes, because the fluid from semen can pass through clothes but sperm cells cannot. That is the important part--without direct contact between semen with sperm cells and the vulva/vagina, pregnancy cannot occur. So, you two do not have to worry about pregnancy in this situation.
In good news, that is the main time-sensitive issue that you would need to address. Delayed periods can be caused by other factors, but none of them are an emergency. You two can relax, and take time to figure out why this might be happening. It is possible that stress or lack of sleep from her new schedule could be impacting her periods, but we can't say that for sure just yet. Would you share this response and this article of ours about missing periods with your girlfriend, and ask her what she thinks? You could also send her our way, so we'd be able to ask questions and advise her directly.

Re: Was this situation risky?
Hi, I told my girlfriend, she isn't an English speaker and asked me to talk to you on her behalf.
But, she doesn't know how to start, to this day, she's been 12 days without her period, and has been feeling morning nausea lately.
She wants help, but, would like if you start making her the questions instead if it's not too much to ask

Re: Was this situation risky?
Hi there, Geo. We ask that anyone who wants to talk with us make their own account, please. If we need to work with someone in Spanish or translate, we can.
However: I don't believe there is much more information we can share here that we haven't already. I can add that morning sickness is not something at all likely to be happening yet to someone who, had there been an actual risk of pregnancy (as you've been told here, there was not one), could only at best, be pregnant a couple of days. There just have not yet been the hormonal changes that cause morning sickness. What seems a lot more likely is that she feels sick from worry and stress.
That said, if she was pregnant to the point she was having symptoms, a pregnancy test would absolutely show a positive result, so it sounds like taking a test is her next step, and something that will hopefully leave you both feeling able to let this go.
I'd also add that moving forward, it sounds like genital sex of any kind, including dry humping, isn't something either of you feels safe doing, especially given she is someone who it sounds like just doesn't have predictable periods,. so I would strongly suggest you take a break from that until/unless you both feel more comfortable.
