So the toilet water splashed my vagina. What if there was sperm in the water? Can sperm survive long in water? So worried

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
You cannot become pregnant from this event. First of all, there is no reason to think there was sperm in the water unless you knew a male had ejaculated into the toilet and did not flush. Even if a man did ejaculate into the toilet at some point, there is no way the sperm would be able to impregnate someone.
You can only become pregnant if a male ejaculates into your vagina during penetration. No need to worry.

Hello, Anon.

Did you have sex education at school? If not, it's a good idea to study on your own so you know how sex and the human body works. You can read books on this or search our EmpowHER site. This will eliminate a lot of stress that the unknown can cause.

A woman cannot get pregnant unless she has unprotected sex (intercourse) with ejaculation that enters the vagina. The highest chance for this is during ovulation.

So, a pregnancy cannot occur from the scenario you describe, which I assume means some of the water in the toilet splashed onto you as it did to the original poster.

best,

Helena
