When it comes to the question of whether you can get pregnant from manual stimulation and oral sex, it’s important to understand the mechanics of conception and the role of sperm in the process.
First, let’s clarify the situation you described. You mentioned that during a time when you were in your fertile window, your boyfriend engaged in manual stimulation and you performed oral sex, during which he ejaculated. The key factors to consider here are the presence of sperm and the pathways through which they can reach the vagina.

1. Sperm Viability: Sperm can survive outside the body for a limited time, but they require a specific environment to remain viable. In general, sperm can live for a few minutes to a few hours outside the body, depending on the conditions. In water, such as in a hot spring, the chances of sperm surviving are significantly reduced. However, if there were any sperm present on your boyfriend's hands or in his pre-ejaculate (pre-cum), there is a theoretical risk of pregnancy if those sperm were to come into contact with your vaginal area.

2. Manual Stimulation: If your boyfriend used his hands to stimulate you and there was any transfer of sperm from his fingers to your vaginal area, there is a potential risk of pregnancy. However, this risk is generally considered low unless there was a significant amount of sperm present and it was directly introduced into the vagina.

3. Oral Sex and Ejaculation: When ejaculation occurs during oral sex, the sperm is deposited in the mouth. If you then had any contact with your vaginal area afterward, there is a slight chance that some sperm could be transferred. However, the likelihood of this leading to pregnancy is low, especially if there was no direct vaginal penetration.

4. Fertility Window: Since you mentioned that you were in your fertile window, it’s important to note that this is the time when you are most likely to conceive. The fertile window typically includes the days leading up to and including ovulation. If sperm were to enter the vagina during this time, the chances of conception increase.

5. Conclusion: Based on the scenario you described, while there is a theoretical risk of pregnancy due to the potential transfer of sperm, the actual likelihood is relatively low. If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, it would be advisable to take a pregnancy test after your expected period date for the most accurate result.
In summary, while manual stimulation and oral sex do not typically lead to pregnancy, there are scenarios where sperm could potentially reach the vaginal area, especially if there is any transfer from hands or if there is contact after ejaculation. If you are actively trying to avoid pregnancy, it is always best to use reliable contraception methods. If you have further concerns or questions about your reproductive health, consulting with a healthcare provider is recommended.
