Plan B?

[girl123]

Hi,

Yesterday, I engaged in some activities which your website says do not pose any pregnancy risks. I know this from browsing extensively through your website. I think I suffer from some form of anxiety/paranoia/phobia and I have recurrent episodes of OCD, but I am getting psychological help for that.

Basically, I gave a guy a handjob and we both had some pre-cum on our fingers. He was touching me places, but I had my panties on the whole time (occasionally, he would slip his hand underneath my panties). I also felt some pre-cum on my lower stomach. I was sitting on top of him, while his underwear was a bit wet. Also, I believe I am ovulating at the moment. That was basically it. He didn't ejaculate semen. However (and I had expected this), I can't seem to calm my mind.

I was thinking of buying the morning-after pill, although I know it would be useless to do so (right? :s). I've read that it causes some side-effects such as nausea and headaches, but I am mostly worried about its effects on my period (delaying it or making it come earlier). Me being me, any alteration in my period freaks me out even more. So, I finally decided not to buy it.

I don't know what my question is, to be honest. I am not sure what to do (do I need to get the EC pill, just for some peace of mind maybe?). Your thoughts, please?
