Probability of fingering causing pregnancy

213 replies

Please do not shame me, I’m feeling terrible and my mental health is in shambles. Here are the facts before I ask question…..

-40 YO
-2 kids conceived super easy (11 & 13)
-In between birth controls (iud next month)
day 15 of cycle (ovulating according to chart)
-partner and I opted NOT to have intercourse since we knew I am ovulating.

I’m pretty sure some semen was on his fingers when he touched me. we don’t know 100% he says not but I did see him “handle himself a few times” So yes I know yes it’s theoretically a possibility if sperm is near vagina BUT statistically how likely? I’m ready everything from “haha your an idiot it’s impossible” to “that’s how my cousin conceived”.
Im terribly concerned. Loosing sleep and can’t eat. I cannot be pregnant at this time due to mental health concerns and my marriage is failing heading to a divorce. My anxiety is sky high and I’m all over the map from convinced to knowing it’s improbable. Next two weeks will be hell waiting.
Facts that I have come across online.

At 39 my chance of becoming pregnant TRYING is only about 5-6%.
If we had gone as fas as withdrawal (did not just using this as a thought) It’s 4% chance of pregnancy. Adding those two things together gives me odds less than 0, correct?

Going nuts…..

Please help me.

@DaughterofDawn 🤣 Why on earth would you want your husbands finger in your Vagina?! Surely his penis would be much better?! Fingering is what teenagers do when teachers aren't looking! Grow up

@DaughterofDawn you are an amazing person for providing me all of that information on your own time. I’m just some stranger . Thank you.
NEW TWIST.
Today, CD 17, have blood tinged cervical mucus when wiping. since I track I have had this before on occasion in past few years.
Breasts tender. Am I correct that this cannot be implantation bleeding as it would be too soon? Only two days….
CD 15 I also had slight blood tinged so I honestly have no clue when I’ve ovulated but at this point it doesn’t really change things if sperm can live so long.
many thoughts? It was nearly a full week ago when I started the Egg white CM with headache and such so was convinced that was ovulation 🤷🏻‍♀️
I really just have to work on my anxiety and come to terms with uncertainty.

It’s too soon for implantation bleeding. That’s probably fertile bleeding or breakthrough bleeding.

I find that those who often say grow up are the people who need to grow up the most. What’s wrong with consenting adults who enjoy a good fingering? Why should I change what I do in bed because someone on the internet doesn’t understand it or appreciate it?

I do love a good penis. That’s why we often do both. You do know that foreplay typically comes before sex yes? That’s often how it works. And men who are good in bed typically do foreplay. The ones that are bad at it usually skip straight to the intercourse because they think there is only one kind of sex.

Does that make you feel like you have to have your partner finger you or something? I assure you. Please do not allow yourself to be succumb to societal norms like that. We won’t think you are more or less cool.

Also when the teacher isn’t looking…? Allowing yourself to be fingered in a classroom sounds far more questionable in my opinion. I sure hope the guy washed his hands before and after… hope he washed whatever he touched too… yeesh. I hope he didn’t give you an infection. 😨🤦🏻‍♀️

@DaughterofDawn Do you know how soon I could do a blood test and how soon an accurate urine? Honestly I’ll probably just wait out my period but it would be good to know the days if I have another panic attack. My next predicted period is Aug 8 (CD 30).

Typically implantation takes about a week to ten days. I don’t know about how soon a blood test would be positive but I know that a pregnancy test doesn’t usually show up positive until when you normally would get your period or 14 days. Sorry I believe you asked that before and i didn’t answer. My daughter has been distracting me as she has learned to climb things… 😅 Also I wanted to formally apologize before especially since you are having such a rough time in the mental health department. I feel awful for misreading.

Thank you! Oh no worries, I thought maybe something was taken out of context :) thanks again for your support and help!

Fingering is what teenagers do when teachers aren't looking!

What school did you go to? And how big were the classrooms?

This. Laughing at the person who thinks foreplay is for kids. How boring must your sex life be if your partner doesn't use his penis, tongue and yes fingers to arouse you.?

Omg right? Like she thinks we're sooooo immature because our sexual partners actually care if we have an orgasm and realize that it's possible to reach the clitoris on the inside also. No one tell her that oral sex orgasms are 150% better if they eat you out while fingering you but ONLY if their partner know how female anatomy works. 😂

Then they might realize that they have just made it painfully obvious to everyone reading their comment that they are either horrifically inexperienced in bed or they've only slept with people who don't know what they are doing or don't care if she enjoys herself. 🤣🤣🤣

Oh, the old "grow up" response!

Drives me crazy 🤬

So condescending and superior.

The aforementioned juvenile activity is the only way I've achieved the holy multiple orgasms. I'm in my 50s.

I'm perfectly happy with my level of maturity

Exactly. The reverse is true really. We probably haven't grown up yet if we don't question a lack of foreplay in a sexual relationship

Haha but it's all about the penis for her I guess. There's only one correct way to enjoy sex. Just lay there like a silent still corpse while he gets off with the dick. That's the mark of a mature lady.
