Almost missed period...but on the Pill

This may sound ridiculous, but I'm really freaking out. I'm on the Pill (Apri), and have had regular periods since I've been on it (for several years now). I am supposed to get my period this week. However, during the week of Dec. 27 - Jan. 4, I was visiting my boyfriend. I'm not ready to have sex yet, but we did mess around and his penis was touching my genital area without penetrating me. As far as I know, no pre-ejaculate or ejaculate got on me. Is there any chance I'm pregnant? And when should I take a pregnancy test, for my own peace of mind?

Hi,

The chances of you being pregnant are very very minute. Firstly, you are on the pill and secondly you said that you are fairly certain that no sperm came into contact with your vagina. Many women (myself included) take the pill as their only form of contraception, quite successfully.

So wait to see if you get your period, and if it doesn't come then take a pregnancy test if only for your own peace of mind.
