If I know I've already ovulated, but my period is late, is it possible to get pregnant?!?/Messed Around Two Days Before My Expected Period; Now Five Days Late

Hey guys! I would really appreciate you input...but, please only comments that are constructive. I know what I did was wrong & don't need to be lectured & I don't plan on doing it again. I'm an almost 21-year-old college student & I kind of met someone on spring break & we ended up messing around & he ended up getting the tip in (that's the farthest I've gone) & I'm almost positive he didn't ejaculate (yes, I now know about pre-cum, though)...& we didn't use any protection (I wasn't exactly planning for it to go as far as it did & I didn't think about it...stupid, I know...you don't need to tell me--I already feel like a horrible person).

Anyway...that was on the morning of the 17th & I was supposed to get my period around the 19th. It's now the 24th & I'm kind of freaking out. It's normal for me to be a couple days late & I usually vary from cycle to cycle (March-April 2011: 37, each cycle after that until now: 34, 20, 29, 24, 28, 31, 25, 25, 29, 29---& now this one is going on 36 days) but it's been a year since it's been this long of a cycle.

I'm almost positive my ovulation was during the week of the 5th because I had brown spotting for about three days. I've done some research & I've seen that the egg can only live for so many hours...so, it would make sense that it would be dead & I couldn't get pregnant. I know the sperm can survive almost a week, but the messing around happened a week & a half or so after ovulation.

I could just be freaking out & the stress could be delaying it, but I'm just really not sure what to think right now. I'm thinking of the worst potential outcome (I could not deal with having a kid right now...I am super involved & there is so much I have planned before I settle down....plus, I'm joining the Navy. Again--I know this is my fault & it shouldn't of happened & I've learned my lesson, so please don't lecture me; I know I made a stupid mistake) but if you guys have any thoughts if you have experience with this sort of situation, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Thanks a bunch!! <3

Based on everything you've said, I really don't think you could be pregnant. Like, it would be pretty much impossible. Stress can defiantly mess with your cycle and make you late.

Get yourself some birth control so that you're prepared for these kind of situations in the future. Good luck!

If you ovulated when you think you did then it could not happen. However, you don't know that for sure. Go take a home pregnancy test as it would be able predict by now.
Take care and planned parenthood offers free birth controll I believe...head there ASAP! You are young and don't need to be worrying about this now. Take care of yourself

I agree with the previous posts, and also agre that you should test to be sure. From what you have said, when you ovulated and when there was intercourse, high chances are you are not pregnant. Stress for sure can delay your period. I hope it all works out! Good luck!

It is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. However, a delay in your period could also mean that you ovulated later than normal. You could take a pregnancy test two weeks after the 17th if you still haven't had your period. The results at that point should be accurate.

Agreed, good luck with everything! Sounds like you have a busy time ahead!

There's a lot of things that could delay your period, stress, medication, infection-std, or more serious health problems. I have just had a month that it wouldn't come, but to be sure take a home pregnancy test...if its negative and it still doesn't come I would schedule an appointment with my obgyn. Good luck and I hope everything works out.
