Pregnancy

Chances of pregnancy during period

09/08/2009

Question:

its the second day of my period. i am still a virgin. i have not yet experienced penetration. but my bf and i do other things-like oral sex, kiss, "dry sex".today, we were together for 4 hours.during the first three hours i had my underwear and sanitary napkin/pad on and sometimes he`d rub his bare penis against the OUTSIDE of my panties,with the pad on of course. during the last hour, he took off my underwear so i had no pad on and would place, BUT NOT RUB, his penis near my vagina. he never entered me. im just wondering what are my chances of getting pregnant from what happened?im so scared..

Answer:

The chance of pregnancy is unlikely for two reasons.  The first is that women are not fertile (i.e. ovulating) during a normal period.  Second there appears to have been  no semen (the fluid that caries sperm)  placed in or near your vagina.
