I’m currently freaking out. This whole story will sound crazy but please help me. Two weeks ago I had a dry humping situation with my boyfriend. He was wearing boxers and jeans while I wore underwear and thin leggings. On the outside of my pants was clear sticky moisture but he says it wasn’t him, that it was from where I was wet. I’m 17 years old and have extreme anxiety and this isn’t the first time I’ve had this scare. I’m worried I could be pregnant. According to my flo app, my period should be tomorrow if not the weekend. I’m having pregnancy symptoms and I’m REALLY terrified. I can’t stop thinking about it. My friends tell me it’s impossible but I would love to hear your opinion. I also googled stuff and there are articles that say pre or semen can soak through clothes. All that makes my paranoia worse. Please please please help.
