To think you probably can't get pregnant this way

Hi all, very long time lurker, first time poster because something is really playing on my mind.

Normally very very careful with contraception, but I'm worried because of what happened a week ago.

Me and DP were messing around and the long and short of it is he "pleasured me digitally" (snort) with "spermy fingers". God sorry for the TMI.

I checked the app i use to track my period and that was apparently in my fertile window.

Can you put my mind at rest - its unlikely for that to cause pregnancy, right? But how unlikely? Like super unlikely or just unlikely?

I don't think it's possible - it's just something they say to scare teenagers away from using the withdrawal method!

Well you can conceive from anal, they can travel all the way from there ShockEnvyso fingers...

AFAIK, that’s how my lovely DSD was conceived. You’ll understand I didn’t really want to know the details.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 09/01/2018 19:09

Adnerb - re sperm from anal. It's not that the sperm gnaw through your innards, it's that sperm ah, drips and can end up, er, elsewhere. Like if you wipe your arse after, it can end up in your fanny.

Tentomidnight · 09/01/2018 19:09

Why didn't he wipe his hand first??

misses point of thread

@ChickenVindaloo2
I'm quite impressed they manage to summon up the energy to push themselves through the lips, that must take some gumption!

Dribbles can travel.

Sorry OP. Sperm in the holy place no matter how it got there can cause pregnancy.

GlitterUnicornsAndAllThatJazz · 09/01/2018 19:17

@gamerchick
Well I'm a bit unsettled because I posted hoping for a lot of "its seriously, really unlikely".

I still think it's probably very unlikely because
A) surely the sperm being exposed to the great outdoors first must....handicap them in some way? #NotAScientist
And
B) the fact they weren't flung up to the heights of my holy place must make it a little more difficult.

So I think disabled sperm + bigger climb = probably very unlikely.

But I'll still keep an eye out for my period and won't be shocked and staggered if it doesn't come.

Your period might not come because you're stressing.

If you're not going to take the MAP then just forget it and see what happens.

Probably fuck all tbh but let this be a lesson to you!

ChickenVindaloo2 · 09/01/2018 19:27

Be sure to stock up on wet wipes and a penis beaker for next time.

itshappening · 09/01/2018 19:28

I think it is possible but much lower odds due to the reasons you say, and the lower overall number of sperm. Still, it only takes one little athlete....😊

ginorwine · 09/01/2018 19:29

I think sperm ' dies' if outside vagina for a while - but if it was immediate after a different situation ?

According to my sisters Blue Jeans magazine circa 1986 yes you can.

Apileofballyhoo · 09/01/2018 19:34

One of my siblings was conceived without penetration, just a splash nearby. So definitely a possiblity.

ShiftyMcGifty · 09/01/2018 19:35

Haha, no sperm don’t die when exposed to oxygen. Turkey baster still wors for lot of folk.

coconuttella · 09/01/2018 19:37

Why on earth wouldn’t it be possible? He inserted globules of freshly ejacualted sperm inside her ffs! Less likely than unprotected sex, yes, but impossible?.... I would trust you with any risk assessments - put it that way.

Acopyofacopy · 09/01/2018 19:39

The NHS agrees with the 90s teenage magazines... yes, you could be pregnant! www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/975.aspx?CategoryID=54

I heard a rumour that Michael Phelps was conceived anally. He's that strong a swimmer...

givemesteel · 09/01/2018 19:40

I think if depends on how long between ejaculation and insertion, the can live for 5 days inside the vagina but not very long outside it.

If it was pretty much immediately then it's a much higher chance and I'd probably MAP it if I were you.

Tistheseason17 · 09/01/2018 19:43

It only takes 1 ickle sperm to get there!

MrsMaxwell · 09/01/2018 19:44

If she has already concieved its way too late for the MAP! Confused
