Q: 

Can you get pregnant from fingering if he touched his penis?

Me and my partner are not as such sexually active and therefore I am on no form of birth control.

Basically, we got intimate and he fingered me. Before doing this he had touched his penis, slight masturbation but not for long and did not ejaculate. However, I am worried that he may of had pre ejaculate on his fingers when placing them into me, and this may be a risk of getting pregnant. So let's get this clear, there was no direct genital contact, and he didn't ejaculate but i am worried of possible pre ejaculate as it was at day 16, maybe a fertile time. So whilst some advisers are telling me that pregnancy is not a risk from my situation, others are telling me there is a risk.

Should I take the morning after pill? Or am I overthinking this? Can I get pregnant from what I've described? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hello adtrgirl,

Welcome again to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to us.

Pre ejaculate fluid itself does not contain sperm. If he had had a recent ejaculation, sperm would have been in his urethra, which is the tube semen and urine pass through. With urination, the sperm is flushed out.

You mention that he masturbated but did not ejaculate. So, there should not have been any sperm in his pre ejaculate fluid.

From what you shared, I do not see any risk for becoming pregnant. An ECP is effective if taken as soon as possible and within 72 hours of unprotected sex.

Regards,
Maryann

THANKYOU for your response!
So you're saying I have no risk of pregnancy from this?
Update: I took the MAP out of precaution 24 hours after the incident, so do you think I'm definitely in the clear?
