Sperm are alive and active as long as they are wet. If the area if moist and damp the sperm can live 48-72 hours. Inside the body the sperm are alive for 3-5 days. Once the sperm becomes dry it is safe to say that they are no longer living. Sperm are very determined little creatures. Active sperm placed near the vagina can find their way into the body to fertilize the ovum. Pregnancy can and does happen this way.
Semen dries up when it is exposed to air. As it does, the sperm will be neutralized and die. Washing your hands with soap and water will also get rid of the active sperm. This would be a good practice to get into if you and your partner are going to engage in digital stimulation (fingering). Hand washing also helps prevent the spread of bacteria and other germs.
Its pretty much impossible for her to get pregnant with what you described but wierder things have happened. Have her take a home pregnancy test just to be sure.

I would have her take a pregnancy test by now just to make sure. Im not an Ob/Gyn so I cant say that definately she's not, however I can just comment on the fact that there are several possiblities about not having her period. Stress can be a factor, I'm not sure on the running issue. If she is on birth control, there are always possibilities that she could get pregnant. But I personally think its odd that she has gone three months without a period. Honestly, I would just say to get a test to be on the safe side. I hope that helps and Good Luck!

Next time wash with soap and water, be more careful, more than likely not pregnant. If she already has irregular cycles I wouldn't worry. Practice safe sex in the future, that means reliable birth control and condoms, both, no matter what.

It only takes ONE sperm to be left on your finger and swim his way up and find the egg. Could be that one little man stuck on to your finger even through washing, buy her a pregnancy test just in case.

Ok ok ok here is what you have to do. Sit your girl down, make sure she has your attention, then tell her how much of an idiot you are for thinking that she could be pregnant because of sperm left on your fingertips.
Once sperm releases, it dies and besides you washed your hands. Seeing how you arent to bright, i'd say it is possible she is pregnant, but by another man

if u washed your hands before u fingered her then any sperm that was on your hand was washed off, its not possible at all, however if u had sperm on your fingers and then fingered her right after , then that would be a possiblity, but not real probable

There is almost always a slight possibility, however, it is not very likely at all. I missed my period several times and all but this last time was stress related and my husband and I were trying extremely hard.

The water most likely rinsed off the sperm. And the people above that keep saying that sperm dies when it meets air are totally WRONG!!!. If sperm died when it met air they would not be able to have sperm banks!

to the lady who said sperm die when they meet oxygen, I'd like to know what in the world is growing inside my uterus then, looks like a baby to me, and our spermies were in the air for a good two minutes before they reached the little eggy.
you washed your hands, no she is most likely not pregnant
