Did the sperm die after being wiped off?

Hi, I had protected sex with my girlfriend around her ovulation period. She gave me oral sex and i came, and i wiped of the semen thoroughly with paper towels and clothes, then i wiped my hands until all surfaces on contact with semen including her's were wiped off with paper towel. I fingered her, and then we had sex with a condom. It is two weeks after and she is expressing fatigue, headaches, and tender breasts, moodiness, increased urination..but this all just be apparent because of my increasing paranoia but she is physically expressing these symptoms all now. Is it possible that all the semen were not dried of and killed or wiped off when i either fingered her or had sex with her, meaning that the base of my penis where the semen was touched the surface of her vagina.

*the transaction was basically instantaneously, we wiped multiple times, she hasnt had her period yet, but it isnt due yet.
I am just worried about her. Thank you

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
There is no possibility of pregnancy in this scenario for several reasons. First of all, sperm can only survive a few minutes in open air. It also dies quicker if handled. Not only was the sperm handled, it was wiped away. You also used a condom when you had intercourse preventing any sperm from entering her vagina.
The symptoms she is experiencing do not only occur from pregnancy. You did not mention her age, but during adolescent years, the hormones are still finding a balance causing girls to experience PMS-like symptoms well before their period.
Below I have pasted a link to a HER article which explains more in detail "How Sex Works" in relation to pregnancy:
