Am I pregnant?

I am a 15 year old female and I want to know if I am pregnant. I did not have sex but we were being intimate. This was around 7 days before ovulation. I've had no symptoms up until today. I had some blood in my underwear. Only like the size of maybe a nickel. Also, my boyfriend did not ejaculate. Please help.

Do a pregnancy test if you are concerned. Highly unlikely if you did not have intercourse.
Unlikely, but not impossible. Take a test if your period is late, just in case. Sounds like you are getting close to full sexual activity in the relationship, so please talk to your mom or an aunt and get in some reliable birth control. Use condoms too as birth control doesn’t prevent STD’s. Be very picky about who you take this next step with, something’s you get from sex are not intended and have lots of consequences.
There are actually patients who have become pregnant without penetration of the vagina as moist vaginal secretions can help carry swimming sperm up to the cervix, even through underwear. 7days pre-ovulation is at the earliest timeframe of how long sperm remain viable in a woman’s reproductive system so that timeframe is a low but definite possibility. The best way to answer your question is to do a urine home pregnancy test or ‘pee on a stick’ which is only $1 at the Dollar Store; so get a handful and check, even if you miss your period. If you continue to have a negative test, then it’s likely you are not pregnant but the only absolute way to know for sure is to have a blood pregnancy test. The least expensive blood test is a Qualitative HCG; this is a yes/no test but goes no further. If you ask for a Qualitative HCG, Quant if positive, then they will give you an actual HCG number, but only if positive. Then you are not poked twice for the result of that test if it is positive.

In addition, there is a small percentage of all males that are ‘pre-ejaculators’; that means that some sperm get out in the first few drops without full ejaculation but those first few drops can still contain sperm, best to do a home pregnancy test.
