Hello, the chances of pregnancy are low, and you shouldn't rely on the safe period.
It's better to take preventive measures for contraception before engaging in sexual activity.
If your period is more than a week late, it is advisable to see a gynecologist.
Wishing you good health.

When it comes to the possibility of pregnancy after intimate moments, it's essential to understand the mechanics of conception and the various factors that can influence it. Based on your description, it sounds like you had a situation where there was some potential for sperm to come into contact with the vaginal area, even if penetration did not occur. This raises the question: could she be pregnant?

Understanding the Risks of Pregnancy
1. Pre-Ejaculate Fluid: Even if you did not ejaculate inside her, it's important to note that pre-ejaculate fluid (pre-cum) can contain sperm. If any sperm were present in the pre-ejaculate and came into contact with her vaginal area, there is a possibility of pregnancy, albeit a lower risk compared to full ejaculation.

2. Timing of Ovulation: The likelihood of pregnancy also depends on the timing of her menstrual cycle. If she was ovulating around the time of your intimate encounter, the chances of conception increase. Ovulation typically occurs about 14 days before the start of her next period. If her cycle is regular, tracking her ovulation can provide insight into her fertility window.

3. Symptoms of Early Pregnancy: You mentioned that she has been experiencing abdominal pain and breast tenderness. These symptoms can be associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or early pregnancy. However, they are not definitive indicators of pregnancy. The only way to confirm pregnancy is through a home pregnancy test or a visit to a healthcare provider.

What to Do Next
1. Take a Pregnancy Test: If her period is late or if she continues to experience unusual symptoms, it would be wise for her to take a home pregnancy test. These tests are designed to detect the hormone hCG, which is produced during pregnancy. For the most accurate results, it’s best to take the test after a missed period.

2. Consult a Healthcare Provider: Regardless of the outcome of the pregnancy test, if she has persistent abdominal pain or other concerning symptoms, she should consult a healthcare provider. They can provide a thorough evaluation and address any health concerns.

3. Discuss Contraceptive Options: If the concern is about unintended pregnancy, discussing contraceptive options with her can be beneficial. There are various methods available, including hormonal birth control, condoms, and emergency contraception, which can help prevent pregnancy in the future.

Conclusion
In summary, while there is a possibility of pregnancy given the circumstances you described, the actual risk may vary based on several factors, including the presence of sperm in pre-ejaculate and the timing of her menstrual cycle. The best course of action is to take a pregnancy test if her period is late and to seek medical advice if she experiences any concerning symptoms. Open communication with your partner about these issues is also crucial, as it can help both of you navigate this situation with care and understanding.
