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?

@Bobbiepin

God....the pressure! 😂 Will post an update when I have a definite outcome. Hopefully the replies will help others as i did a lot of creative MN searching and couldn't find any "spermy finger pregnancy" threads (dry heave). I just dont want to tell a future child that they were conceived by a drunken spermy finger...

Good luck, tmi but extra discharge was how both my pregnancies became obvious, I had zero sickness and only slightly tender boobs with the first one, the second was accidental - I'm also one of those extra fertile people :-/

Remember Mimi Maguire on Shameless?

Her surprise baby with her teenaged boyfriend was conceived that way. Grin

This thread has made me laugh (No offence OP) far more than it should've.
Mizz, Just 17 and More have me in the entirely possible corner my own fertility has me in the highly unlikely corner however as PP have said not everyone's the same. Hope it works out ok whatever the end result and if nothing else at least you've a GSOH.
To the poster with the splash on the bed sheet sibling wow you're parents are really the sharing sort Grin

As per name change Blush

And I was 42 at the time BlushBlush

I have always been extremely fertile but this just took the biscuit.

GingerbreadMa · 09/01/2018 20:43

Op with my first born dp and I convinced each other that it takes non teenaged couples AGES of TTC to get pregnant. So we should get started ahead of actually being ready for a baby.

God that sounds stupid when you actually put it in print Grin

We got pregnant the very first time we had unprotected sex.

Every time I've had spermy sex and not taken the MAP I have immediately fallen pregnant. And one time I was pregnant after using condoms with no visible condom failure.

People dont talk much about it if they get pregnant super easily because it sounds braggy and yes, SOME people struggle. But a lot of people do get pregnant super easily

Is this a thing then ?

He jizzes globs on a finger then inserts it ?

I feel like I've missed out

You kinda had to be there...

Keepingupwiththejonesys · 09/01/2018 20:57

Id be panicking but I've got pregnant first time trying for all three of my kids. Don't get me wrong I know I'm really lucky it's been easy for us but now we don't want more kids I crap myself at the thought of getting pregnant so we use two different methods of contraception. All you can do us wait but its most definitely possible

Sparklingbrook · 09/01/2018 20:59

Is this a thing then ?

I am now wondering if things have changed and I haven't kept up. Blush

frieda909 · 09/01/2018 21:01

so that the sperm that actually makes it is the one with the rock hard abs and high-paying job (in sperm land).

Grin This really made me laugh! Sorry OP, but at least you’re keeping a good sense of humour about it.

Also sorry that I keep reading your username as ...AndAllThatJizz

SnowyChristmasWish · 09/01/2018 21:13

I would see it as a possibility if it were me but only because I know both me and DH are very fertile. I would say in most cases it won’t result in a pregnancy.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 09/01/2018 21:18

Does mean you could technically become a mum when still a virgin!

TeddyBee · 09/01/2018 22:18

Out of date condom is the working theory. Sigh. So ripped or otherwise failed. Stupid latex. Stupid OH. Adorable toddler though.

GottadoitGottadoit · 09/01/2018 22:21

If not going far up were a problem then surely there would be a correlation between penis size and pregnancy rates?

FundayMorning · 09/01/2018 22:32

How did he get spermy fingers? Was he enjoying his own company first? Even so, how did it get on his fingers?? I must be very naive...

LaurieMarlow · 09/01/2018 22:33

Possible if you're super fertile. I feel certain it wouldn't have been a problem for me and DH.

somethingfromnothing · 09/01/2018 22:48

I’m a scientist and this is sort of my area. It’s not unusual for us to see motile sperm in samples that have been produced days before. So I’d say yes there is a (small) chance.

Partypopper123 · 09/01/2018 22:58

Ginkypig · 09/01/2018 22:59

It only takes a single sperm to fertilise and egg so considering a glob contains a few hundred to a few thousand depending on the man makes it extremely possible

CheekyFuckersAreEntertaining · 09/01/2018 23:10

I probably would! DH and I have always conceived (4 times now) after only a few... attempts. We're pretty fertile when we want to be so I can imagine we would be that 'cautionary tale' couple. In fact, DS was conceived after an almost two year long dry spell. (Lost libido for both of us after 3rd pregnancy but happy couple nonetheless) I jumped him one night and oopsie, Baby on board. Grin

Only time we never intended to conceive as the rest of the time I'm on BC pills but had taken a break due to being out of action.

BlackeyedSusan · 09/01/2018 23:20

and as for the age thing...

late thirties, three pregnancies, all conceived first cycle. (one did miscarry though)

SimonBridges · 09/01/2018 23:21

Yes. My friend, as a teen, got pregnant in a very similar manner while never having had full PIV sex.
