Could I be pregnant?

Bit of a personal issue for me to discuss I know, but I would prefer really quick answers instead of waiting for TheSite to answer my question confidentially.
Ok, yesterday my boyfriend came round, and we were downstairs on the couch in front of a movie. Naturally kissing led to touching and feeling. He didn't go down my pants (I am on my period - not TMI, don't make stupid comments about that) but I went down his. I think I got some pre-cum on my hands.
I washed my hands three times that day after that before masturbating at around midnight, but then I stopped because I realized that I could get pregnant from that... I don't know if this sounds stupid but have I been really silly and not thought about this carefully enough?
Questions -
1.) I am on my period. Am I most fertile at this time of the month?
2.) How long after being outside the body does sperm die?
3.) Is there much sperm in pre-cum, or none at all, or just a lot less than actual semen?
4.) Would I have washed it all off my hand if I'd washed them three times (it might have been four).
I just feel really bad, like I've been really stupid and not thought about what could happen. I'd really appreciate all feedback, as long as its not going to take the mickey or be stupid answers. :nervous:

Even less than that. Don't worry about it.
I don't feel so anxiously sick anymore.
You're not your most fertile during your period (although you can still get pregnant)...you're usually at your most fertile between 10-16 days after you period (although this varies from women to women, month to month) when you're ovulating.
Sperm can live outside the body for a few hours but washing your hands would be sufficiant enough to get rid of any sperm so don't worry yourself. Sperm are very sensitive to temperature changes.
There are still hundreds/thousands on sperm in pre-cum (different with each man) but as long as you washed your hands then you have nothing to worry about
It doesnt matter much though because peoples cycles vary and theoretically you can ovulate at any time in your cycle, especially when youre young, often cycles havent settled yet, but it would still be fairly rare for someone to ovulate during their period and even if you WERE ovulating then, to have washed your hands before having touched your vaginal area. This is likely to have killed off any sperm that were there, and certainly any semen that they would need to travel to the egg in effectively
Indeed, although true what you say about different cycles. I conceived at completely different times with both my pregnancies.
:yes: This one was the day i was due on
