is it all in my head? or is it possible that i could be pregnant?

Question

Im sorry if I'm being stupid in asking if I'm pregnant but Im asking if under this circumstance would pregnancy be possible at all. I feel sick and I see a little bulge below my belly button... I also just went on vacation.. could be because I ate a lot ..I gained 3lbs...

7/12/06-
My boyfriend and I got close, and he fingered me ... Im wondering if he had (his) 'fluid' on his finger like an hour before he fingered me.. could I get pregnant? I think I can't ... but I need to be reassured.

I thought when sperm hit the air it died... myth?

Sorry if I sound stupid...

Actually, my school never taught that... they just showed us a movie of a lady giving birth.

Forgive me.

Answer 1

There is no chance! Sperm cannot survive long exposed to the external environment....the chances of his sperm still being alive on his finger and hour later is slim to none!! So no, you probably arent pregnant!! You can take a deep breath! =)

Answer 2

Actually, sperm doesn't "die" when it hits the air. It is still "alive" for about an hour. The rule of thumb most health educators use is to avoid contact with semen and other bodily fluids while they are wet. This is not only because there may be active sperm, but because there may be bacteria and virus that are still alive in the fluid. Can you get pregnant when you do not have intercourse? Absolutely. It happens all the time with artificial insemination. But in those cases, doctors are using instruments to get the sperm to their final destination. It's less likely to occur if you accidentally sit on some wet semen or if your partner ejaculates outside of your vagina. But it is not impossible. All the little buggers needs is a warm wet environment, and who knows what they can accomplish. The fluid that comes out of the penis before ejaculation, is pre- ejaculate. It can contain sperm, and therefore it is possible to get pregnant even if the man withdraws before he ejaculates. To be safe you should avoid getting sperm on your partner. Not just to avoid pregnancy, but also to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Plus, it's a pain to clean up.

Now, sperm can live inside of a woman's body for two to five days, or up to a week if they reach the fallopian tubes. A woman's reproductive tract is hostile territory for sperm. The pH of the vagina kills off most of them, and of the one percent that make it past the mucus plug at the bottom of the cervix, most end up in the wrong tube. Given the vagina's apparent hostility towards the sperm, and the sperm's poor sense of direction – it seems like getting pregnant is a difficult thing to do. But the one million unplanned teen pregnancies and 1.5 million abortions that go on in the US every year suggest otherwise. A couple having unprotected sex for a year have an 85 to 90 percent chance of getting pregnant. After all, the egg, is about 85,000 times bigger than the sperm cell. It's not that hard to spot.

Answer 3

Are you kidding? SPERM CELLS cannot live long enough outside a man or woman's body.

It would be tantamount to saying that if a guy masturbated in a pool and by mere stroke of luck you also happened to be in the pool and the semen found its way towards your reproductive organs ---> would you be pregnant? This is what we call utter absurdity.

The first thing you need to note if you are pregnant is not by means of your weight but rather with your period. Or better visit a doctor if you really are worried. The best thing that you need to do now is to reorient yourself with critical issues on SEX and acquaint yourself with the topic.

You engage in a sexual relationship thus it is only necessary that you take RESPONSIBILITY of what ever consequences your actions will bring. So you need to be on guard and armed inorder for you to ensure that you will not get pregnant out of nowhere.

Or better yet, don't engage in SEX. That will totally eliminate your problem.

Answer 4

It doesn't really seem like you are, maybe you just gained weight ya know? But if your period is late, then take a pregnancy test so you can stop the worrying... but it's a very very slim chance that you are! You don't sound stupid, but some things just worry you more than others! Get that test taken!!!! Good Luck!

Answer 5

It is not likely that if he had fluid on his finger from 1 hr before that it got you pregnant. if the bulge above your pubic bone feels like a grapefruit you might be pregnant. I suggest you seek medical help with delema not knowing your age can not suggest apprpriate medical professional. Or get a home prenancy test.

Answer 6

It does, so if it hit the air (especially after an hour) you should be fine. To reassure yourself, you can always take a test, but unless he had fresh sperm on his hand (like if he just came) then you should be fine.

Answer 7

It would be way to early to tell if you were.And there is a slim possiblty you could I guess he had semen on his finger when he stuck it in you.I would take a test at the end of Aug if you don't start you period.Good Luck!

Answer 8

Without actually having intercourse your chances of being pregnant dont really exist. I highly doubt you are and if you are stressing about it you could have fake sytoms because your mind is telling your body that you feel pregnant. Try and relax and maybe you will start to feel better.

Answer 9

you probably aren't pregnant if he only fingered you. I doubt if the sperm left on his finger could get you pregnant.

Answer 10

you would not be showing this early and no you cant get pregnant from beig fingered. even if he had his stuff on his hand for an hour it would be useless
