Question:
Sorry again for bothering you but you seem to be the only person that knows their stuff that I know of. So once again I would really appreciate it if you can help me out here. I told you awhile back that I touched my bf's undies that had precum on it and then I washed my hands by not very throughly and 45 min later I touched myself down there. You told me that I can't get pregnant that way. I got my period since then (it was normal 7 days or so long) and I am waiting for my next one. My cycle is irregular (32-35 days). Today is the 27th day since my last period and I got some brownish blood comming out. It's light and I am wondering if that indicates that I am pregnant. I am getting scared again. Thank you again for your time.

Thanks for writing. By the time you read this you will probably have your period and know that you are not likely to be pregnant. The period you had the last time after touching your hands that were washed 45 minutes after touching pre-cum, was normal and regular it seems.

THe brownish blood coming out on day 27 is not at all unusual for women to have. It is probably the beginning of bleeding menstrual blood but is light and mixed with the fluids produced in your vagina which makes it the color of brown.

When you are pregnant, there are other signs your body would be showing by this time. You would have very tender breasts, your body might even feel different, like slight nausea at times.

I am assuming you have had your period and are not pregnant. The only way to really know for sure, though is to take a pregnancy test and be examined by a doctor.

I hope that you can enjoy touching, kissing and being near your bf without always being worried about getting pregnant. Is there something else I could help you with so you don't get so fearful? I hate to see you feel so stressed.

Thanks again for asking great questions.
