the last time i got my period was november 8th. i went off birth control in may and since then i have been very irregular. 7 days after i got my period i was fooling around with my boyfriend and i got semen on my hands and wiped it off with a tissue. not thinking, i used the same tissue and wiped my vagina on it. we did not have sex though. now i am 5 days late and have all of the symptoms of getting my period: cramps, breast tendorness, back aches, mood swings...but it hasnt come yet. i am usually never this late on my period. my boyfriend thinks im over reacting but is there a good chance im pregnant?

If you're late, you can take a pregnancy test. There's no telling if any semen got inside your vagina from the tissue, so it would be a good idea to test now.

Have you considered going back on birth control to help regulate your periods again?
