Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern about possibly becoming pregnant.
Without unprotected intercourse, that is penetration with ejaculation, close to or on the day of ovulation, there was no risk for becoming pregnant. Washing with soap and water afterwards would have removed any semen.
Once ejaculated, sperm can live outside the body for about 20 minutes, and in the female reproductive system, up to five days. Sperm travel from the vagina to the fallopian tubes to fertilize the released egg.
G26, from what you shared, I don't think there was any possibility for becoming pregnant.
