I was with my boyfriend on December 31st and we got intimate, but there was no penetration and no ejaculation near my vagina. Could just rubbing our genitals lead to pregnancy? It's been five days and I'm feeling a little tightness in my lower belly. Could this just be anxiety or stress? My last period started on December 20th. What should I do?

Rubbing genitals without penetration and ejaculation near the vagina typically doesn't lead to pregnancy, but there's a very small risk if sperm comes in contact with the vaginal area. The tightness you're feeling could be due to anxiety, especially since your period was only a week ago. If you're concerned, taking a home pregnancy test or consulting with a healthcare provider can help ease your mind.
