Is it possible to get pregnant?


Hello, on May 1st, I was intimate with my girlfriend, and after masturbation, I ejaculated on her stomach.
During the process, there was no vaginal penetration, and my girlfriend did not remove her pants at any time.
Later, she wiped off the semen with a tissue and then used another tissue to wipe her genital area, but I'm unsure if there was any semen residue on her hands.
My girlfriend was supposed to get her period on May 10th, and she experienced breast tenderness, but as of May 14th, her period has not arrived, and the tenderness has gradually diminished.
Is it possible that she could be pregnant? What is the likelihood?

More Info


Based on the information provided, it appears that the likelihood of pregnancy in this scenario is quite low. The key factors to consider include the nature of the intimate contact, the timing in relation to the menstrual cycle, and the symptoms experienced.

Firstly, you mentioned that there was no penetration involved during the intimate contact on May 1st, and the ejaculation occurred on the abdomen. This is significant because pregnancy typically requires sperm to enter the vaginal canal and reach the uterus. Since your girlfriend did not remove her pants and there was no direct contact with the vaginal area, the chances of sperm reaching the vagina are minimal.
However, there is a small risk associated with the possibility of sperm transfer if there was any residual sperm on your hands after wiping. If your girlfriend wiped herself with the same tissue that had contact with your abdomen, there is a theoretical risk, albeit very low, of sperm being transferred to the vaginal area. Sperm can survive for a short time outside the body, but they require a moist environment to remain viable.
Regarding the timing of her expected menstrual cycle, you indicated that her period was due on May 10th, and she did not experience menstruation by May 14th. A missed period can be an early sign of pregnancy, but it can also be influenced by various factors such as stress, hormonal changes, or other health issues. The fact that she experienced breast tenderness (the "刺痛感") could be related to her menstrual cycle, as hormonal fluctuations can cause similar symptoms leading up to menstruation.

In terms of calculating the probability of pregnancy, it is difficult to provide an exact percentage without more specific data. However, given the circumstances you've described, the risk remains low. If your girlfriend is concerned about the possibility of being pregnant, the most reliable way to confirm or rule out pregnancy is through a home pregnancy test. These tests are designed to detect the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which is produced during pregnancy. It is advisable to wait until at least the day of her expected period for the most accurate results.

If she continues to experience symptoms such as breast tenderness or if her period does not arrive within a week or so, it would be prudent for her to take a pregnancy test or consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
In summary, while there is a theoretical risk of pregnancy due to the intimate contact described, the likelihood appears to be low based on the details provided. Monitoring her menstrual cycle and using a pregnancy test will provide the best clarity on her situation. If there are any further concerns or unusual symptoms, seeking medical advice is always a good course of action.
