Dear Kailey,

If you’ve never had sex (i.e. your boyfriend never put his penis in your vagina irregardless of whether he ejaculated sperm or not), then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Could you clarify what your symptoms are? Just respond by answering in the comments section below.

Cheer up!

    • Hannah says:

      If you’ve never had sex, then it would be extremely difficult to get pregnant. It’s not uncommon to miss your period – yes, stress or a major change in what you eat or a new diet or even some kinds of medication can cause your period to be irregular. Since you are young, it might even be your age which can be a factor in having you skip your period. If the pregnancy test comes back positive, please let us know. In that case, something must have happened somewhere – i.e. somehow some sperm entered your vagina and fertilized an egg that was waiting. Occasionally, there are cases when a person is sleeping and another person has non consensual sex (i.e. sex without their permission) with them, yet they never wake up. Think it odd, but it has happened before. Then there are the cases when some teens are “messing around” but don’t think they’ve gone “all the way” yet some semen did enter the girl’s vagina and the egg was fertilized. A guy can insert his penis into your vagina, never ejaculate, yet still leave a little sperm behind. Just some things to chew over. Hope this helps!

      Hi I’m 12 and I’m pregnant with a 16 yr.old my parents don’t know. I’m to scared to tell them. I’m definitely preg because he went to the store and got me some test and they turned out positive. I took like 5 test.

  10. Sophie says:

  11. julia says:

    Man this is nuts. All these pregnant 12 year old virgins… lol. However… I do have a close friend who fell pregnant after her partner got semen on his hand and put his hand inside her. Re all these symptoms I must say this: hormones can be very nasty. Esspecially around puberty. I am too old for puberty however I have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer which plays a huge role in my hormonal balance. As my partner and I are trying to have a baby before the docs remove my uterus I am always looking for pregnancy symptoms and I always– ALWAYS have at least half of them because my hormones are unbalanced. Just like in puberty. So if its possible take a test or talk to your parents but if its not you can count it as your misbehaving hormones…

      “Man this is nuts. All these pregnant 12 year old virgins… lol.”
      LOLOLOL THANK YOU!!!! What the hell, hahahah.

  12. Nikki says:

    Please help!
    I’m only 12 and I knew this 13 yr old guy for a while. I started to like him more than a friend, so I took flirting advice from yahoo answers, and it was to comment on his belt, sit on his knee and ‘accidentally’ touch down below. I did it when I was at his house and his parents were out, he seemed to like it and after a while we were going out. He started to kiss me with tongues, and we carried on for a while until it started to get really heavy. I asked him to stop, and when he did we both went outside to his jaquizzi for an hour. We started kissing again and before I knew what was happening, he had me pressed against the wall and was masturbating on me. I masturbated on him too, and I think he jacked off. Please help because we didn’t actually have SEX so his penis didn’t go into my vagina or anything, so how come I have all the pregnancy symptoms? I’m really worried so please give me some advice on what to do
    thank you xx

    Hi, I am 14 and a virgin, but I have a few symptoms of pregnancy. They are: nausea, stomach tension, and a weird bloated feeling in my stomach. I think it might just be stress, but I’m very worried so please help me!!

  19. Christa says:

    Hi i am only 13 and a virgin but i think im pregnant because i have all the symptoms and i mean all! i cant tell my mom or dad cause they would freak! and i cant get a pregnancy test cause thay are sooooo much money a i am broke!!!!!! please help me i am so scared right now!

    • Rose says:

      First of all, calm down. Are you sure you’ve never had sex before? As in, dude putting his penis into your vagina? What about a boyfriend? If you had a boyfriend and he was fingering you, he could have had semen on his hands from masturbation. If you have never had intercourse before, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Since you seem to have all the symptoms, you’re probably experiencing hysterical pregnancy. This is when a girl believes she is pregnant to the point of developing symptoms.
      Hope this helped! :)

      • ... 12 years says:

        iam also 12 wit all the syptoms, but still a virgine, never been fingered by someone else, but i have had all the symptoms and you say, thinking your pregnant so much that you get the symptoms.. is feeling kicking a symptom? i dont know if it like my belly rumbling of anything, but i have ad chest problems so im going for this weird x-ray thing that does your whole body, and i dont think im pregnant as im virgin, but what if they see a baby! i am virgin, with syptoms as needed to wee a lot, belly feels funny, belly looks bigger?(could be imagionation) missed my period for like 3 months now!! MAJOR WORRIED

        • Hannah says:

          I don’t think they’ll find a baby inside you, but there may be something else which would be a medical concern. Please keep us posted!

        • Britney says:

          Hi
          i just turned 13 years old, A complete VIRGIN no boy has never even touched me, but i have masturbated ALOT in my life and all the time i thought i was prego i always got my period so that helped the cause, but this time its different i actually see the symptoms i haft to pee alot and its clear, my boobs hurt alittle, my stomach hurts, it feels kinda hard i dont ever feel nausous, IM SOOOOO SCARED
          but i did situps like 5 days ago and i guess my muscles are sore i wanna accept any other conclusion other than prego but i need to be SURE im so SCARED BUT IVE NEVER HAD SEX NOT EVEN A BOYFRIEND I WANNA JUST RUNAWAY SOMETIMES TO SAVE THE TROUBLE CAUSE IM SO WORRIED HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          • Hannah says:

            Not to worry, Britney. You’re 99.99% not pregnant (the 0.01% covers me!). Masturbating all day long won’t make you pregnant. As far as what you are feeling, it could be a variety of things: nerves, something you’re coming down with, etc. You can stop worrying and sleep well tonight!

            Best luck,
            Hannah

    • Lala says:

      i haveing the same problum </3 ;/

  20. nomi says:

    there is very little chance of getting prego if you are a virgin. once sperm hit air, they die!! so if he came on you, then there is a very slim chance of actually being pregnant. and if you keep telling yourself you think you’re pregnant then your body could actually believe it, but you really aren’t. this could account for the pregnancy symptoms, and if you really believe you are, get a pregnancy test.

    • Willow says:

      That’s not true. Believe it or not, sperm can last for several days without dying in a warm-temperatured area. So what could happen is that a woman could touch an area with semen and sperm and then get pregnant from that. It only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg!

      • Hannah says:

        It’s actually a lot more complicated than that, Willow. Sperm need a special environment to survive for several days. They are living things, keep in mind. That special environment is found within a girl’s reproductive tract where they can live for up to 5 days (or, given the right conditions, possibly even longer). However, sperm which is outside the human body, in most normal conditions, will only last a couple minutes to a couple hours at most.

  21. Kim says:

    Nomi,
    Sperm do NOT die when they ‘hit air’. Please be careful or you could end up pregnant, too.

  22. Jordan says:

    I am 16. I have never had a single missed, late, or abnormal period before ever, and i got my first one almost exactly 4 years ago. I have never even had pms symptoms other than maybe getting hornier sometimes (never felt like tracking when i get horny tho)
    I have only had one bf, been with him 2 years. we live thousands of miles apart, never even met in rl. i have never had sex. I never felt anyone else’s privates areas before (mine was only touched once when i was 8, and that was not even consensual.
    I never have done any drugs, I like never leave my house, I never do anything that is even remotely risky at all.
    My period was due on april 4th. I thought that it was odd that i missed it, but but figured maybe it was my age or something. then a few days ago my tummy started feeling weird, almost sickish. i never threw up, or anything tho. I figured it was cause ppl in this house are being sick right now but they all have been throwing up (and I’m not that strong stomached either). then yesterday i started getting really strong cravings. (schlotsky’s, ham, bread, specific icecream, pickles, yogurt, watermelon, baked chicken, etc) while some things that I always really love make me feel sick to think about (cookies, fried chicken, bacon, etc), i’m getting more tired but other than stomach sick and being a bit tired is all of the sickness thats going on that I have. but my stomach is feeling more bloated i think. Idk if i gained any weight, and even if i weighed myself i wouldn’t know since i don’t stand on a scale unless its for a doctor and its been almost a year.
    I have been really really cranky lately, and a bit more bipolar than normal.
    Its just like when my mom was pregnant (I was 8+ for 3 of them so i know how it was like for her) only I am a 100% virgin, and never kissed a guy before, but I feel really really pregnant. its really confusing me, alot.

  23. Jordan says:

    Also add, that today is April 26 (22 days late so far, so i count it as skipped)

  24. deborah says:

  25. Bailey says:

    I am 14 I am an athlete so I’ve always had an irregular period. I just stopped getting for the most part but like 2 months in a row my period was just the smallest .. And I mean smallest amount of bleeding and it was mostly just brown!!!!!…….. I feel like my stomachhas taken a wierd shape ….. I get nauseous to some things …. Mostly sugar(which is wierd). I Am a virgin !!! As far as I know … Please help!!!!!

    • Erin says:

      me too! i’m 14 also, but my period hasn’t been on for 4 months and i don’t know what to do. i can’t tell my mom because she’ll just assume i had sex. i have pregnancy symptoms, but i know there is no possible way for me to be pregnant because i am a virgin. please someone help

      • frankie says:

        at your age it’s completely normal to have irregular periods. I went months without them when I was your age, don’t panic :) And as for the “odd shape” – you’re probably just bloated.

  26. Amy says:

    i am only 12 and i was cloce to having sex with my bf but i told him no becuse we wernt protected but he touched my boob and made me all uncompfy but at the same time it felt reslly good. What should i tell him!? i reaaly cant get preg at age 12 but i dont wanna tell him no

  27. carlie says:

    Im only 12 im dating a 15 year old guy we love eachother alot and he keeps trying to get me to have sex with him but I don’t know if im ready to…..he said he would use protection we’ve gotten close but not to close and I don’t want to get any closer than what we have already gotten!! oh and he already has one baby….should I stay with him or dump him..or do I just tell him no?!?! I really need help and I can’t ask anyone else please help me!!(:

    • Hannah says:

      Carlie,

      I’m going to be blunt and you (and others) may not like me for that, but here goes: He’s probably just after you for sex. Never let a guy do that to you. Guys can be so obsessed in wanting sex without really, truly loving the girl (whose body they are so passionate about – though they’ll gladly dump you if a prettier girl comes flirting around). If he really loves you, ask him to wait. Then you’ll find out if he really loves you or just lusts you.

      Best luck,
      Hannah

      • carlie says:

        Should I dump him?! I thought he really loved me but im not sure now…and he keeps wanting me to sleep with him in his house when no one else is home know im beginning to think all he wants is sex idk what to do

        • Hannah says:

          Yep, to put it bluntly. A lot of guys just want sex, and when you’re “used up,” they’ll just discard you and move onto the next “fresh” girl until they tire of her. If he really loved you, then he would do what is best for you, and this sounds like a one way highway for him. I know it might hurt breaking up, and if he’s a sex addict, he might beg and plead, but don’t let him ruin your life like this. Find a real guy who wants to be friends and who loved you for more than what you can do in bed.

          • carlie says:

            I guess what ur saying is that I need to break up with him if I want what’s best for me? I thought he really loved me but im beginning to believe he’s like the rest of the teenage guys…he got one girl pregnant and I don’t want that to happen to me!

    • faith says:

      ur 12 years old u dont even know what love is

  28. Cynthia says:

    Hello everybody. I am 16 years old and I am kinda scared that I may be pregnant. This is not another “I’ve never even been touched” thing, so please help me. My boyfriend and I have been going out for two years, and plan on moving in together at 18. We mess around a lot, but he’s never actually penetrated. I am afraid because he has slid his penis across my vulva then fingered me directl after, as well as cleaned off his ejaculate then fingered me. Lots of things like that. I have been fatigued, have very sore nipples and tender breasts, I’m moody, peeing a lot, hungry all the time for strange things, and I have gone up a couple pant sizes, I have very frequent back and headaches. Does this sound plausible enough to talk with my mother about a test? Or should I drop it? Feedback is very welcomed. :)
    Thank you. -Cynthia.

    • Hannah says:

      Dear Cynthia,

      Just a handful of questions first to help me better understand your situation: do you remember when your last period was? when did he finger you with sperm on his fingers? have you definitely missed a period yet?

      Hannah

      • Hannah, I agree with everything you have said on this site, you are like the master of knowing what is good and bad or wrong and right for a women, many people would be very lost, depressed and scared without your amazing help!
        I am sure all the girls on this site a with me and would like to say the same thing I am about to say…
        THANKYOU so much, we would all be lost without you!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  29. Katy says:

    Alright first to clear the air. If you are a virgin, then there is no possible way you are pregnant. No one is asexual. You most likely missed your period, over thought about it and had a hyper pregnancy where you experienced pregnancy symptoms but was not really pregnant. Two, I somewhat understand the 15 and up girls, because I am 15 and have gotten very close to having sex. But 12 years old? My younger sister is 12. You are all trying to grow up too fast. Just breathe. But I do have a question: I recently turned fifteen but I haven’t had my period. Ever. Many people think I’m anorexic, however I KNOW I’m not. Could there be something wrong with me? I am very low percentage body-fat, mainly muscle. But it still freaks me out. Please help!

    • Hannah says:

      Katy,

      Hmmm … How tall are you and how much do you weigh? How developed are your breasts? Are you a really picky eater? What’s your normal daily diet like? Do you exercise intensely every day? What kinds of sports or exercise do you do? Do you do any horseback riding?

      Thanks!
      Hannah

    • faith says:

      no every one gets their period at a different pace i didnt start my period til i was 16

  30. Tiger says:

    I’m exactly the same, it’s how I got to this page, I’m 12 -and have every pregnancy symptom possible, But a virgin, I’m getting a test this weekend when I goto an older friends house, so my parents hopefully won’t find out, good luck, we both need it!
