I had an experience around the 28th of december that could have resulted in pregnancy, but with no penetration (ejaculate spilled near vaginal opening, but would have had to travel through 2 somewhat thin layers of clothing...So I guess possible, but not likely). Anyway, since then I have had two periods, both early...But normal flow and everything for me (mine come close together and are irregular; so this is pretty normal for me.) so even though given these circumstances, pregnancy is near impossible, I still think I may be pregnant. I have no definite, like strong symptoms. My belly has grown, but I have recently gained about 7 pounds due to eating much more probably because of stress.( I am very thin, so this would show up) plus, my abdomen doesn't seem hard, its like fat on my stomach. All my friends say that I am insane and that you can't have periods while pregnant, but I know you can bleed and it sometimes resembles a period. Also, I have assumed the past two months that I have ovulated. I have had the egg-white discharge, consistent with days I could have ovulated. I know you can get discharge while pregnant, but during these times, it has been so elastic that it drips from my vagina all the way into the toilet without breaking (disgusting, I know..I'm so sorry). Would this be a normal if discharge if I were pregnant? Anyway, I guess what i'm asking is that is it likely given all these circumstances that I could be pregnant? Also, have any of you had this kind of situation where you for some reason think you are pregnant when its pretty obvious that you're not? I seriously feel like I should be committed. Also, I can't buy a test because of financial reasons, and there is nowhere in my area where I can go for a free test, otherwise I would just test and not bother anyone with this. Lol please give me your imput on this.

Ok it can take up to three days for sperm to travel up through fallopian tubes to get to the egg and almost all of the sperm dies along the way. It would take a long long time for a tiny tiny tiny sperm to pass through layers of clothes and the protective coating around then would dry up or be absorbed into the cloth and kill them. I think you are being really paranoid and seriously freaking yourself out. Pregnancy is a miracle but not one of biblical proportions like it would be in your case.
If you think you are pregnant and having false periods just take a pregnancy test. It would say positive if you were close to or past 4 weeks of pregnancy. And dont convince yourself if it says negative its wrong or convince yourself the evaporation line is a positive. Just chill out and dont scare yourself over something that will seem laughable to you later on in life. If you are that seriously scared go to a clinic and get a blood test done. Those are never wrong and detect any hcg levels in your blood even if they are low. If there are any levels at all they will be detected in a blood test.

I have heard that the cheap ones are sometimes wrong...But I figured they would all be made the same way...Especially because its this long after the fact I guess the test would work?

I think thats just what companies want you to think its like medicine if you compare the labels there no difference in the medication you are getting are the same and the same amounts. I used a equate brand one which is made by walmart and it worked just fine in telling me my second was on the way
