question about late period. - Sexual Health - Teens Message Board

Hi ppl, I am in a dilema. I haven't had my period for 43 days now! I don't know whats wrong. Here are my worries.
17 days after the first day of my last period, me and my bf were kinda fooling around. I touched him through his undies and probably got some precum on my hands from that. He also got some on his. Right after that, we went to wash our hands with soap and water. I then decided to go pee. Is there anyway that there would be left over sperm that I got onto toilet paper and it get into me? Also after I peed, my bf touched me through my undies in the area where my pubes are, not near the opening of my vagina. Is there any chance that i can get pregnant from that? Mind you we washed our hands with soap and water before any of that happened. I am usually irrgular with my cycle. I've ranged from 21-42 days. I don't feel any symptoms of pregnancy. However, I have been sleeping very late the past week. (ie 4am) so my sleeping pattern is all messed up right now. I am wondering if that is either a symptom of pregnancy or is that a reason my period is so late. Can a change in sleeping pattern delay a period? Sorry for such a long post. ANy help would be nice =)

okay just to let you know sperm dies when it's in contact with the air.. also when you wash your hands with soap the sperm dies completely. If you have irregular period just like me.. my last period came after 48 days!! but my period range is around 32-49 days.. so don't worry about it.. u probably don't have your period yet because u are very stressfull about this.. try to relax.. there is almost no chances of u being pregnant.. if you want to be more secure about this why don't u buy a pregnancy test .. but i doubt u are pregnant. it's just stress.

Just want to get a little more specific here in terms of time frames: sperm doesn't instantly die when it's in contact with the air, but infact not until it has dried out completely or it's temperature has changed significantly from body temperature is it certain to be dead. So it can actually sit on the body for quite a while before drying completely and still be viable (so watch where you sit...)

But that's just a comment to the previous vague info. In general, it sounds like you have very little to worry about. All that hand washing and so little contact makes me think it's something else that's causing you to be late.

Thank you for your replies. It's been 46 days and it still hasn't come @_@. Is it normal to just skip a period entirely?
