Pregnancy Info HOME

Here's my situation: I am 17 and a virgin, so is my boyfriend, and we're waiting at least another year before having intercourse, but we have engaged in "outercourse" many times. There is a possibility that last Sunday he touched me with some sperm on his hand- I am not even sure of this, and if it was there it had been dry for 15 minutes to an hour or more (unfortunately I don't remember specifically because it only occured to me later that night that it might have happened.) It may have been his other hand or he may have washed his hands in between, so there is a good chance I'm worked up about nothing, but let's say theoretically there was some dry sperm on his hand. It's now the following Sunday and since then I've been driving myself crazy worrying, even though I know the chances of pregnancy are minute, and I've been having mild cramps and nausea, which I'm almost certain have been brought on by nerves alone. I'm not due for my period for another 2 to 3 weeks, and it's practically never regular, so I can't go on worrying like this without some reassurance! The nausea has wore off for most of the week, but it's returned today along with a persistent strange feeling in my abdomen. Logically there's very little chance, but I can't help worrying. Can someone please help me?
