Many of you will probably have a good laugh at my paranoia, but i'll gladly sacrifice my pride for some peace of mind! In late august, my boyfriend and I had dry sex. We both had jeans and underwear on, and I know for a fact he did not ejaculate until later. A few days later we did it again, except he was fully clothed and I was in my underwear. Again, he didnt ejaculate on me. I got my period about 5 days later, just as expected, and it was completely normal. We had dry sex a third time about a week after that; we were both fully clothed, and there was no ejaculation.

The reason i'm so paranoid is because lately my stomach has been feeling unusually tight and i've been mildly cramping. I've also been getting headaches, and my breasts are starting to feel a little sore. I know that my tight stomach could be anything, and that everything else could be due to stress or impending menstruation (i'm "supposed" to get it october 8, but my cycle is so irregular that it could come at anytime!). But, like I said, i'm so paranoid that I immediately think the worst.

I know I said I got a completely normal period in september with cramps and all, but i've read that sperm can live in a woman's body up to 7 days, so even if you do have your period, you could ovulate early and still conceive with sperm from 7 days ago. I also said that he didnt ejaculate, but I know that pre-cum can cause pregnancy even if you don't have sex, and although I dont think there was any on his jeans, i'm still worried.

Is there anyone who can put my mind at rest? Normally i'm much more sensible than this, but pregnancy at this point in my life is a true phobia of mine.

Thanks!!

Oh btw - I did take a home pregnancy test early this past week and it was negative...But i've read that these things can be wrong
