Pregnancy Scare [Solved]

Alt thread, because my level of ignorance is potentially very embarrassing
My girlfriend and I are having a bit of a pregnancy scare.
She's a little over two weeks late on her period and today she started bleeding but stopped after a few hours.
We're both virgins, but we have engaged in quite a bit of dry humping with just our underwear on, and occasionally with only myself (the male) wearing underwear (my boxers have buttons, so I know for certain there was no skin to skin contact). That's a lot of cloth between our genitals, but there's the issue of fluids potentially leaking through that has me scared.
The fact that I'm leaving for college in a few days, thus beginning the long distance portion of our relationship makes me think stress and worry are to blame for delaying her period, but two weeks seems excessive for a delayed period (I said "seems" because I honestly have no idea what's normal / plausible).
What're the odds that she's pregnant?

Without buying a ticket.
Satans..... hints.....
If it'll help ease her mind, get a test.
Unless she's cheating on you.
Unless she bought a ticket behind your back. . .
edit: Still practice safe sex, of course. It's just that only one chick has had a kid sans sex, and I'm guessing you're not dating her.
Check out my art! Buy some prints!
but they're listening to every word I say

For great truth.
But if it's really messing with your collective heads, go buy a test. Cheap solution.

oh god what did you do
Not to start an argument, but fixed.
As others have stated, if you're worried, get a test.
As per the dry humping... dude... your boxers have buttons? That's just mean.
ooooh boooy
Because some people choose to wait?
For what, the bus?
But really, totally not pregnant (unless she's cheating on).
I had a similar scare a couple years ago with my current girlfriend. While I wont touch on the details we did come out OK with no babies on the way. Also, to explain the issues on her end with the period and whatnot, there is a strong chance that it is her being excessively nervous and it affecting her period. Strong mental strain can physically affect that part of the body to the point of its timing being thrown way off. Timing to the point that you can go for a month or two with no period, then suddenly have one.
Get a test to ease your minds, she'll go back to normal once she stops worrying about it.
Yeah but if you're just bumping and grinding and using every hole but the one you're supposed to, you should probably man up and actually do it.
That means you'd either have to (1) get married young or (2) wait to have sex until you're REALLY ready for marriage, which appears to be 27-ish, the median age for marriage right now.
Getting married right after college might have been right for you, but it's terrible advice for everyone.
Waiting to have sex until 27 might be right for some people, but seriously? That's a decade and a half of not doing something you can have fun and be safe doing.
EDIT: Speaking of, I read this oddly relevant article in the Statesman today.
People, please note, and my wife is still having trouble with this herself
A baby maker is not a digital clock
If you arent having sex, and shes about a week late, shes probably not pregnant
contrary to popular belief, getting pregnant can actually be a pretty hard thing to do. Have to hit a small window of time and your swimmers have to be up to the task.
That, and you actually have to have sex.
Oh yes, the 'technical virgin' part. I find this weird...also, as most are Christians, doesn't the bible mention something about the letter of the law vs. the spirit of it? Also, everyone I hear this from talks about how freaking brilliant their first time was...whereas most people who didn't wait talk about how it was somewhat less than fantastic. ...Someone is lying...and only has has motive
Anyway, to the topic, dude....you didn't have sex, you can't have babies. If it is costing you sleep, get a test.
Oh yeah, get some boxers without buttons, makes it better.
Like everyone else has said go get a test and when the worrying (and stress) is over likely your gf's period will go back to being regular.
Unfortunately it is also easier to get pregnant while a teenager (I'm guessing the OP is young?). Teenage girls are more likely to do weird things like ovulate multiple times per cycle and also tend to produce more of the fluid that keeps sperm alive. Women in their mid 20s tend to produce fluid to keep sperm alive for 3-5 days. Women in their 30s may only produce fluid to keep sperm alive for 1-2 days. Teenagers have been found to produce fluid to keep sperm alive for 7-10 days.
Get a test.
Or maybe all he (or she) feels comfortable doing. I'd imagine that finale extra step can be daunting for a virgin.
Either way, I think they should do what they are comfortable with. No sense pressuring them into having sex so they can potentially have incredibly serious problems that they don't want to worry about yet.
Her period came on really heavy today, so no more worries. Thank you for the advice folks.
Instead, take that money and get some condoms. It's not that you need to have sex or anything, but it's better to have a cache of condoms tucked away in a drawer than to work up to something risky in the heat of the moment, and be without them.
