Irregular Periods & Pregnancy Concerns: A Guide for Teens

Question
i've never had sex, so i consider myself a virgin. but i haven't gotten my period for two months and i messed around [naked] with a guy. I'm still irregular because i'm only 16 and have only had my period for a year and a half. I don't have any symptoms of being pregnant like sickness, tender breasts, or constant urination but i keep worrying about it. I took three pregnancy tests and they were all negative. the only reason i'm worrying is because i feel like my stomach is bigger although my friends tell me i'm just paranoid and i look the same. I don't really know when the appropriate time is to take the tests because i'm irregular, so i took them within a two week span of when i thought i should get it. Do you think i'm just paranoid? That'd really suck to be 16, pregnant, and a virgin. I have one more test left to take, i plan to do that thursday or friday. If the final test comes up negative, do you think i'm not pregnant? thank you for reading this. =D

Answer
Dear Lacey,

If there was no opportunity for wet semen to come in contact with your vagina or genital area, there is no way for you to have conceived a pregnancy. When you are first beginning to become sexually active, even lying naked with a male and touching each other can seem to be incredibly risky and exciting, however as far as pregnancy is concerned it is perfectly safe. The only way you would be at risk is if he would have ejaculated either inside you or if he had ejaculated on a hand and then inserted the wet, unwashed and undried hand inside you or near your vaginal opening.

I hope that this has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
