Q: Period is 8 days late

Alright, I am the kinda person who worries about this stuff quite often so I need somebody to just help me out here!

I was on birth control for awhile but stopped in March (after I had my period that month, I did not begin it again). The following month my period came about a week early (April 10th), which was surprising but it was a normal period. I started again on May 10th...to the day which is very rare, and it was also normal. It is now June 17th and I have yet to start and I'm a little worried.

I am a virgin but I've fooled around a lot with my boyfriend. We are very careful about when he ejaculates to make sure my vagina is not really near his penis. And our bare genitals have never actually touched...only through our clothes! After he ejaculates though, usually in my hand, I immediately get a towel to wipe it off. Normally I'm just in my underwear while doing this and it is possible the towel my have come near my vagina or even barely touched it with the semen on it i just wiped off my hand. Not entirely sure though. Is there a pregnancy risk in this?? Also, my boyfriend and I were taking a shower together (in our bathing suits) and I gave him head..with my bathing suit still on. He cummed on my chest and I rinsed it off in the shower. Could it have rinsed down into my vagina and possibly gotten be pregnant?

I know these scenarios may seem a little ridiculous but I really need to know! I've never been this late for a period before. But I've had all my normal signs like moodiness, sore breasts and a little cramping..but I'm still worried. I also just moved home for the summer..so could moving and being away from my roommate (who my period synced up with because of how much we were together) change the timing of my period?? Someone please help ease my mind and tell me what I should do!!

It could just be the stress of moving and changing scenes.

Stress can do a lot of things to the body. When I was on the pill I could still be late if I was stressing myself out.

Also, just because your period was somewhat regular for the first couple of months after you went off the pill, doesn't mean that your body won't be a little out of wack later down the road.

Your body needs to get used to the non-constant supply of estrogen that the pill gave it. Now your body is going through the entire cycle on its own.

I would suggest waiting another week and relax, as much as you can, about it. If it's not there by the end of that week, I would grab a test. Better to know now.

The chances, so far as I have ever been told, are very slim to get pregnant by the methods you have described, though (and you'll hate to hear this) stranger things have happened.

Fingers crossed. Smile

You can always get pregnant when there is vaginal penetration. The substance precum could easily fertilize an egg. The timing has to be right though and chances are slim, but not unheard of. If your worried about pregnancy use protection during ALL sexual acts.
