Shoulder pain
Your girlfriend ovulated on February 17, and you engaged in genital rubbing on February 19 without penetration.
It's unclear whether there were any secretions from the glans.
The possibility of pregnancy from this type of contact is low, but not impossible, as pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm.
If her regular menstrual period starts on March 3, it is a strong indication that she is not pregnant, as menstruation typically signifies that fertilization did not occur.
However, if there are any concerns or irregularities, it is advisable to take a pregnancy test or consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.

Hello, the questioner: There is still a chance of pregnancy even if ejaculation has not occurred during intercourse, as pre-ejaculatory fluid may contain sperm.
It is best to consider emergency contraception as a remedy.
If your period is more than a week late, it is advisable to check for pregnancy.
Thank you! Wishing you peace and health.

More Info
Understanding ovulation and the associated risks of pregnancy is crucial for anyone engaging in sexual activity. In your case, you mentioned that your girlfriend ovulated on February 17 and that you engaged in external genital contact on February 19. You are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, especially since her normal menstrual period started on March 3.
To address your question, it is important to understand the timing of ovulation and the menstrual cycle. Ovulation typically occurs about 14 days before the start of a woman's next menstrual period. In a standard 28-day cycle, ovulation occurs around day 14. Since your girlfriend's period started on March 3, it is likely that she ovulated around February 17, as you mentioned.
When it comes to the risk of pregnancy from external genital contact (also known as "outercourse"), the chances are generally lower than with penetrative intercourse. However, there is still a risk if pre-ejaculatory fluid (pre-cum) is present, as it can contain sperm. Since you are unsure whether there was any pre-ejaculatory fluid, it is difficult to assess the exact risk.
The fact that your girlfriend's period arrived on March 3 is a strong indicator that she is not pregnant. Menstruation typically signifies that no fertilization occurred, as the uterine lining sheds when an egg is not fertilized. However, it is important to note that some women may experience light bleeding or spotting even when they are pregnant, but this is less common.
If your girlfriend's menstrual cycle is regular and she experienced her period as expected, the likelihood of pregnancy is very low. However, if there are any concerns or if her next period is late, it would be advisable for her to take a home pregnancy test for confirmation.
In summary, based on the information provided, the risk of pregnancy from the described activity is minimal, especially since her period started on time. It is always a good practice to use protection to prevent unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during sexual activities. If you have further questions or concerns about sexual health, consulting with a healthcare provider can provide personalized guidance and support.
