Huge Pregnancy Scare (Very Anxious Help Please)

[Noodle9]

Hello, I'm currently undergoing huge stress because of a missed period. I am currently 11 days late to my period and of course, I am thinking the worst right now. I think I may be pregnant. This might sound silly but I have not had vaginal intercourse ever! However, I have done foreplay and rubbing against my boyfriend. We haven't had direct genital contact and he has not ejaculated near me at all. What has me a little scared is that he did rub himself on me while I wore underwear, but he didn't. I'm afraid maybe his precum might have soaked in through my underwear and possibly gotten me pregnant. he has not touched my private areas with semen on them or anything. Overall we have been pretty careful that no semen gets near my vagina. I'm just freaked out because now I'm 11 days late to my period and being the anxious mess I am, I am trying it to the last time I fooled around with my boyfriend. Also to add to this I do remember making him ejaculate and it getting on my hands. After I dried them up I did rub my clitoris ONLY after my hand was completely dry. I am also afraid that might've caused something. Please help me I can't stop being anxious and it's truly killing me.
