Pregnancy Without Sex?
Posted: 01-07-08 17:37pm

i'm 15, and my boyfriend came into town last week.
we didn't go all the way, but both of us to third base. he didn't have a condom on so i'm worried that i might, by my horrible luck, become pregnant. it was the first day after my period, so i have to wait until the end of the month to figure it out!
i'm seriously FREAKING out, but i can't tell any of my friends. he tells me that he didn't have semen on his hands and that he had ejaculated on his hip, but i'm still completely worried that some stray sperm on the bed or something might've infiltrated base, to put it lightly.
i am known to be paranoid, but i can't keep thinking about it!
does anyone know the chances of me becoming pregnant, or did any of you become pregnant without having sex?

You are not pregnant. Sperm dies when it hits the air. Also, it is highly unlikely you ovulated the day after your period.

It is very unlikely that you're pregnant. Even though it's only the average that women ovulate 14 days after their period. Just please maybe look into birth control if you're not ready to get pregnant right now. It can be a big help.

thanks guys, i mean i've read it all online but it's actually really reassuring to actually have people say this to me.
however i'm just always going to be paranoid so i hope i don't relate everything i do to me being pregnant. also, there is the fact that i do have bad luck.
thank you very much, it really did ease me.

If you are paranoid, buy a test just to ease your mind. I'd say theres a .000001% chance you are pregnant though, since his penis didn't even enter your vagina.

Also, if you are convinced you think you're pregnant, sometimes your body makes up symptoms to go along with that even if you aren't pregnant, so try not to worry too much

I don't know why some of you think sperm dies right away. It doesn't.

The life-span of sperm
Question

How long does sperm live once it's in the open-air?
Answer

How long sperm can live in the open-air depends on the situation, what kind of environment it's in and how much sperm is present. But, on average, sperm can't live for much longer than a few hours in the open-air. It's important to remember that if sperm is inside a women's body, it can survive for up to seven days.

There is a risk of pregnancy if sperm comes into contact with the vagina in any way including from sperm on fingers. If you think that sperm may have come into contact with your vagina within the last five days, and you don't want to get pregnant, you should seek advice on emergency contraception as soon as possible.

True, but in her case theres really not a way she can be pregnant. He didn't ejaculate on his hand or anywhere near her, and she's worried that a small amount fell off of himself and onto the bed sheet and somehow crawled up the bedsheet and into her vagina and managed to get all the way up to make her pregnant when they didn't have sex at all. It just doesn't seem possible.

I would get an emergency contraceptive, but everything I've read says it'd be too late for me. Also, I'm not on any sort of birth control and have no idea how i'd break it to my mom. She'd freak, and never trust me again, even though i didn't really think that anything could happen. I too believe that there is the slimmest chance in hell that I could be pregnant, but I still can't get it off of my mind.
Thanks for being supportive, and constructive.

I agree with you. I just wanted people to know how long sperm can live after they hit air.

My advice is to talk to your mom, go to the doctor, get birth control and use it.

If you're going to fool around, even not going "all-the-way," you should be protected, and well educated.

its highy highly unlikely like almost everyone else has said

but you need to try to calm yourself about this, becuase if you freaking out every little pms symptom your gonna take as a pregnancy symptom, also if your that worried you can actualy make yourself feel pregnant and you can delay your period too....stress can delay ovulation which delays your period

Actually, if she ovulates even a week later, and there are sperm in the area, she could get pregnant. Of course there is almost no way there are any sperm in the area, so I'm sure she's not pregnant. I just wanted to point out how far out ovulation can take place after sex and still lead to pregnancy.
