Hi. For about a month or two. I've been worried if I am pregnant because I read a lot of theories online about how vaginal sex is not the only way to become pregnant. I do not feel I am but I do not want to decieve myself. I recently had anal sex with my boyfriend without a condom on October 5th (he does not have any STDs). He said he felt himself, ejaculate a little inside but quickly pulled out and covered his penis. He saw online about how its possible to become pregnant by the semen dripping from the rectum into the vagina. However, I have gotten my period monthly since then and it is now the end of November. During that time though, I have been having some complications. Nothing serious but still curious. I have been gassy a lot with gas pains and having trouble using the bathroom, however it recently stopped and calmed down. These problems started happening after and while I was food poisoned. The food poisoning happened a week or two after I did the anal sex. During that time, I have been taking benefiber and other medication to use the bathroom normally and now I feel more normal again. At random times, I had also felt nauseous, it did not happen all the time. But I would not want to eat or drink much. One day, my dad gave me some nasal spray because he suspects I may have a sinus issue. Since when he was younger, he always felt nauseous. And it was really bad till the doctor told him it was a sinus problem. Ever since I took the nasal spray, the nausecousness stopped. Sometimes I am scared of eating, because when I eat too much I feel overwhelmed or a little weird. I have lost some of my appetite, or sometimes it does not take a lot of food to make my stomach full. Sometimes even when I haven't eaten yet, I feel full. It could be that now, I get nervous while I eat because of what I have been experiencing. Right now. I am supposed to be getting my period this week. And the signs already showed up just like earlier this month and last month where I am getting acne and my breasts are itchy. The only difference this time is that, my breasts feel moist or a little sticky. I do not see anything coming out of it. I am not sure what has been happening to my body lately. It is like nonstop ever since I was food poisoned. My mom had also eaten that same food and got food poisoned and now she has been having nonstop digestion and stomach problems like me and similar issues like me as well. I do not know if these are signs or symptoms of pregnancy. Or if my anxiety and fear of becoming pregnant is causing my body to act a little abnormal. Because becoming pregnant, would be one of the worst things to happen right now as it is not the right time. And with very strict parents, I cannot go out and get a test. I do not think it makes sense that I am pregnant because I have gotten my regular menstrual cycle at the time it was supposed to come. Heavy like it usually is and painful and lasted the same amount of days that it usually is for years. The only thing is the second time I got my period while this was happening, I passed more blood clots than I usually do. Not a whole lot but there were a few, compared to my last menstrual cycle that was a little lighter but still heavy and painful like usual. I have been constantly gargling things about pregnancy, about people who did not know they were pregnant, or had their period during their pregnancy, or people who got pregnant from anal sex. And I have just been so confused about whats going on. So I do not know if that just amped up my emotions and anxiety to make my body act a little off or act as if I am pregnant when i'm not. This has been happening for almost 2 months at least. I have been more calm, with a peace of mind that I am not pregnant with the help of some friends and family members who actually do not even think its necessary for me to take a test. However, I just want to bury this for sure because this is the calmest I have ever felt and I want this to be gone for good. And never think about this ever again. Most of the issues I've had, had subside now its just the weirdness with my breasts feeling little sticky or moist, which I am not sure if that has anything to do with my period coming this week. And overall, when I get nervous or anxious in the back of my head about pregnancy, it triggers my body to act off. Every issue I was experiencing, behind the scenes, I was very anxious and stressed about being pregnant even before these issues popped up. It always starts off with this anxious feeling creeping up, shortness of breath, heart beating a tad bit fast, I start feeling a little hot, can feel it in my throat sometimes and then I do not really want to eat much when this happens. I do not know if this is related to pregnancy with nausea or morning sickness, or that my anxiety about it all caused this. I have mostly been sticking with the anxiety answer based on what has been happening to me because it just does not make sense how I would be pregnant. I just need some clarity about what has been happening to me. I have been feeling really great lately. But I am not sure what all of this is. Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much and I apologize for the long query.

Anal sex doesn't cause pregnancy. Ever. Neither oral sex or other types. Vaginal sex is the only way. And other than that IVF and IUI.
