Ask Me Help Desk - Could I be pregnant?

Could I be pregnant?

Ok so my boyfriend and I were fooling around and he came... I don't remember if it was dry or if he had wiped it off but I'm afraid some of his sperm went in me when he fingered me... I just got done having my period the day before and I don't have a regular period. I am freaking out

You do know you can get prenant even if he doesn't finish. And yes... even fooling around WITHOUT intercourse... your hands can provide the means to move even one microscopic sperm to you and if that one makes its way... bam... welcome to mommyhood.

Even if he uses a Condom AND you are on birth control and does finish... nothing is 100% safe.

Just wanting to make it perfectly clear... there are very real risks.

The odds are slim due to the time frame. When is your next period due - or are you over due?

I'll skip the lecture - I'm sure someone else will come along and give it.

Ughh the smoothy is not lying. I am on BC and I used condoms every time I had sex and I missed my period :( I still don't know if I'm pregnant or not, I'm praying that it's just stress and that it will come but no luck yet :( anything is possible, if it was recent within a day or so go take the morning after pill just to be safe! That's what I wish I would have done at this point!

Well my period doesn't come for another 3 weeks.. and I didn't have sex, he just fingered me... Is my period being a while away affect the chances of me getting pregnant?

Actually no, because you ovulate usually 2 weeks after your period. If he just fingered you I doubt you will, however like I said anything is possible. Finger don't go nearly as far as have sex with him does but again like I said at this point I'm saying anything is possible because of the current situation I'm going through! Good luck I hope it all works out for you!

That's all it takes... getting sperm to the vagina where it can travel. It takes nothing more than that... if it makes its way to your uterus and it finds an egg... well. You can guess the rest. Its always about statistics... but the possibility is always there... and it only takes one to get where it needs to go. And yes... you CAN get pregnant even while ON your period. Your actual ovulation point can be almost anywhere unless you track it which is difficult and time consuming. And sperm can live for days once inside you.

Seriously... you need to pay attention to your sex ed teacher... or have a talk with your gynocologist assuming you have started visiting one. You really need to know the facts before its too late. And your friends at school don't really know much more than you do... they just think they do.

I'm sorry but this is incorrect. "Usually" may or may not be the operative word. The question is, "Could I be pregnant?" You answered, "Actually, no." The correct answer is that it is possible, although very unlikely.

Further, pregnancy due to "fingering" is, indeed, possible.

I would suggest that both you and OP read this article: Ovulation Frequently Asked Questions : American Pregnancy Association

I am sorry you have an unplanned pregnancy. Perhaps your experience will warn the OP about the dangers of unprotected sex in ANY form and perhaps she should read this article in its entirety before she engages in any further sex play. Not knowing/understanding your own body is very dangerous.

Here is part of it - "Can I ovulate right after my period?
The answer to this is determined by how many days are in your cycle. For example, if you have a 21 day cycle ( from the beginning of one period to the beginning of another) and you bleed for 7 days, then yes, you could ovulate right after your period. This is because we know ovulation can occur 12-16 days before your next period begins, and this would put you ovulating at days 6-10 of your cycle.

Can I get pregnant during my period?
Pregnancy can occur from intercourse that takes place during a period. This is because sperm can live in the body for up to five days, and if a woman ovulates soon after her period, then conception could take place from intercourse that occurred during her period.
