Pregnant or Period?
I'm 16 years old and had unprotected sex July 23 my boyfriend said he ejaculated on my lips but I can't help to have felt scared that I could be pregnant. I know it's stupid in the first place to have unprotected sex but it happened and I can't turn back. I was suppose to get my period this around the 5th or 7th of August and I have been having what feels like period cramps but I'm not sure if they're period cramps or am I pregnant? I don't feel stressed but I'm starting school soon maybe without noticing I'm stressing and it's causing my period to be late? Do women get early cramps that feel like period cramps when they are first pregnant?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
I hate being the bearer of bad news but in your case it is unavoidable. Given the dates you gave it is possible for you to have gotten pregnant during that time period. Most women ovulate during the 14 days in the middle of their cycle. Working back from the date of your next period you were in the middle of this time period when conception is high.
It does not mean you are pregnant. It just means the chances of getting pregnant were higher during this time if you are like 85% of women. The fact that your boyfriend ejaculated on your lips only means that less sperm made its way in side you. His pre-ejaculate happens during intercourse (precum) to act as a lubricant. This has enough sperm in it to fertilize an egg if one is present.
My suggestion: Either take a home pregnancy test or since you are over 14 you can go to any doctor or women's clinic for a medical test and exam. Under a federal law known as HIPPA you can without parental knowledge or permission go to any doctor or women's clinic and have a medical pregnancy test done. The visit, the test and the results of the test are all confidential and only you can be knowledgeable of them. Just advise the doctor or clinic you wish to be seen under the HIPPA law.
NO one can see the results or know why you saw the doctor without your expressed permission to the doctor in writing. This includes your parents. Should you be pregnant your parents cannot tell you what to do about the pregnancy. Meaning they cannot force an abortion on you or keep you from getting one. They cannot force you to keep the baby or give it up for adoption. These are some of the protections under the HIPPA law.
If you are not pregnant talk to the doctor about birth control. This is also a protected right under HIPPA.
