Hello and I hope i can help you today.
Pregnancy symptoms vary between women, and many women can have their period be late for different reasons- stress, changes in body weight and other hormonal issues. You can even be late from the stress of worrying about pregnancy! So really the best and most accurate way to determine if you're pregnant is to take a urine pregnancy test. The ones that can be purchased are just as accurate as ones done at a doctor's office.
But if you did not actually have sexual intercourse and there was no contact of semen with your vagina and surrounding area you really do not need to worry about pregnancy.
If you continue to have irregular periods it would be advisable to consult with an OBGYN doctor who can help diagnose the reason behind your symptoms and possible treatment.
I hope this information was reassuring and that I was able to answer your question adequately.
Best wishes, Dr. Brown
