Understanding the chances of pregnancy involves several factors, including the timing of ovulation, the nature of sexual activity, and the body's physiological responses. Let's break down your questions and concerns regarding the possibility of pregnancy in the context you've described.

1. Ovulation and Intercourse: Ovulation typically occurs about 14 days before the start of your next menstrual period, but this can vary based on individual cycle lengths. If you are tracking your ovulation using a mobile app, it's essential to remember that these apps provide estimates based on average cycle lengths and may not be accurate for everyone.
In your case, you mentioned engaging in sexual activity that involved external stimulation (hand stimulation and clothed friction) without penetration. The likelihood of pregnancy from this type of activity is extremely low, especially if there was no direct contact with semen. Sperm must enter the vaginal canal to fertilize an egg, and while sperm can survive on surfaces for a short time, the chances of it traveling through clothing and causing pregnancy are negligible.

2. Spotting During Ovulation: You also mentioned experiencing a bit of bleeding during your ovulation period. Light spotting can occur during ovulation due to hormonal changes, and some women may experience what is known as "ovulation bleeding." However, if the bleeding is occurring around the time you expect your period, it could be related to your menstrual cycle rather than implantation bleeding, which typically occurs about a week after conception.

3. Menstrual Cycle: If your next period arrives on time and lasts for the usual duration (7-8 days), it is a strong indicator that you are not pregnant. A regular menstrual cycle following a potential conception window typically suggests that ovulation and menstruation are functioning normally.

4. Symptoms of Dizziness and Nausea: The symptoms you described—dizziness and nausea—could be attributed to various factors, including dietary habits. Skipping meals can lead to low blood sugar levels, which may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea. Stress and anxiety about potential pregnancy can also manifest as physical symptoms. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

5. Conclusion: Based on the information provided, the likelihood of pregnancy from the activities described is very low. The presence of a normal menstrual cycle following the ovulation period further supports this. If you have concerns about your menstrual cycle, symptoms, or potential pregnancy, consider consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice and reassurance.

In summary, while it's natural to have concerns about pregnancy, understanding the mechanics of ovulation, the nature of sexual activity, and the body's responses can help clarify your situation. If you continue to have questions or experience unusual symptoms, seeking medical advice is always a good step.
