A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hey, I'm pretty much messed up right now and way too worried.

I'm still a virgin as I have not had sexual intercourse yet. However, the other day I was lying on bed with my boyfriend and we were playing around, we had our underwear on and I gave him a handjob. He took his boxers off for just a bit while I was doing that, and I'm not sure if he came as it was the first time I was giving him a hj and we both were under the sheets. A while after I finished he sort of touched me down there but only slightly and not towards the opening. He didn't finger me or anything, just that. I also recall touching myself only slightly a while after, but it wasn't on the opening either. I don't remember feeling any sorts of fluids on my hands or his.

I know it's probably a stupid question, but I've read all sorts of things on the internet and I'm getting really worried. Lately I've noticed I've been getting some similar to pregnancy symptoms, like having to go to the bathroom often and feeling a bit sick at times. I told my boyfriend about it and how worried I am and he said that there's nothing to worry about since we didn't even move to the main thing. However I've made him worry too. I'm supposed to get my period sometime next week, and I honestly don't know what I'll do if I don't get it. I'm thinking of buying a pregnancy test, but I'm too scared of people knowing about it.

I could never tell my parents, they would disown me. They're completely against sex-pregnancy before marriage and have raised me to wait to have actual sex until marriage. They are very strict and would force me to keep the baby and raise it if that happened. But I can't and don't want to take care of a baby at my age, I'm 17 and I don't want to become a mother until much later. I'm not ready for it, and neither is my boyfriend.

Please, I know it might be a stupid question, but could I be pregnant? I'm really so scared..

Faraday agony auntDid you have your knickers on all the time? Or did you or he touch near your pussy with them pushed out of the way?

If you were covered all of the time, you won't be pregnant as sperm will not have been able to cross the cloth barrier, but if you moved them out of the way,I'm sorry to say that even if he didn't cum, pre-cum on his or your fingers is still sufficient to make you pregnant if it got near your pussy - sperms are good swimmers!

veronika agony auntIt's very very unlikely you're pregnant. You didn't even mention any cum was on his hands. You would probably know if he came, you'd be able to feel it and see it.

The symptoms you experienced could possibly be part of a 'phantom pregnancy' or false pregnancy, where you could have worked yourself up with so much with worry over being pregnant that you appeared to be pregnant - but weren't. It's a real phenomenon.

Honest Answer agony auntYou are not pregnant. The sickness and the other symptoms are just nerves. So relax already. But now that this scare is over, you need to remember to use safe sex. It is so easy to let a little bt of heavy petting turn into intercourse. You might concider getting on the pill and making sure that condoms are available. Don't rely on your partner.

Good Luck!

Hi sweetie,

Please relax. NO. You can't be pregnant. First of all you didn't have intercourse. 2nd of all, it doesn't even sound like your BF ejaculated - trust me you would notice. And even if he had, it would need to have been deep inside you to get you pregnant.

Feeling sick is likely a psycho-somatic side effect of your worrying. You would not get morning sickness so soon - morning sickness usually kicks in somewhere between 4 to 8 weeks after a woman gets pregnant, not a few days.

So relax, but take the scare to heart and when you do decide to be sexually active practice safe sex with some method of birth control.
