I and ma boyfriend were just engaged in foreplay and I am not sure his sperm entered inside me. We had oral sex but didn't make love. Now my question is, whether I can be pregnant without penis entering me. Reason for this question is I missed my period. Please help.

Hi yju,

You can only become pregnant if sperm enter your vagina... even then, it is not automatic, but you'll have to decide if what you engaged in would make this a possibility.

Periods can be off or skipped for a number of reasons, although pregnancy is certainly one of the main reasons. If you are normally quite regular with your cycles, and since you have missed a period, try a pregnancy test. Make sure to follow the directions on the test carefully, especially in regard to the timing of reading results.

If you test, and it is negative, see what happens when you would expect your next period. Just a word of caution... be very careful of how intimate you get with your boyfriend as it can become very easy to end up going further than you plan to. YOU are the one who has to decide where to draw the line.

While very rare, it is possible for sperm to enter the vagina during sex play and impregnate you. But it is very rare.

You say you missed your period, by how much? How regular are you?
