Yesterday was the ovulation period, and I engaged in finger insertion with my boyfriend.
After giving him a handjob and he ejaculated, I used my right hand to wipe with tissue and then inserted my right hand again.
What is the likelihood of pregnancy? Answer: The likelihood of pregnancy remains low even though yesterday was the ovulation period, despite the fact that I wiped my hand after he ejaculated and then inserted my own right hand.

More Info

The question of whether you can get pregnant from finger insertion after ejaculation is a common concern, especially during a woman's fertile period. To address this question, it's important to understand the mechanics of sperm transfer and the conditions necessary for conception.

When a male ejaculates, sperm are released in semen, which can contain millions of sperm cells. For pregnancy to occur, sperm must travel through the female reproductive tract to fertilize an egg. This typically happens through vaginal intercourse, but there are other ways sperm can potentially reach the cervix.

In your scenario, after your boyfriend ejaculated, you used your right hand to wipe off the semen and then inserted your fingers into your vagina. The key factors to consider here are:
1. Sperm Viability: Sperm can survive outside the body for a limited time, usually a few minutes to an hour, depending on environmental conditions. If the sperm was still viable when you inserted your fingers, there is a possibility, albeit small, that some sperm could have been transferred into your vagina.

2. Semen Transfer: The likelihood of getting pregnant from this method is relatively low. For pregnancy to occur, a significant amount of sperm needs to be deposited in the vagina, and the sperm must be motile enough to swim through the cervical mucus to reach the egg. Simply transferring a small amount of sperm on your fingers is less likely to result in pregnancy compared to direct ejaculation into the vagina.

3. Timing: You mentioned that this occurred during your fertile period, which is when you are most likely to conceive. If there was any viable sperm transferred, the chances of pregnancy could be higher during this time compared to other phases of your menstrual cycle.

4. Hygiene and Sperm Transfer: If you wiped your hand thoroughly with a tissue before inserting your fingers, the chances of sperm being transferred would decrease significantly. However, if there was still some residual sperm on your fingers, it could theoretically lead to pregnancy.

In conclusion, while the possibility of becoming pregnant from finger insertion after ejaculation exists, it is relatively low, especially if proper hygiene was maintained. If you are concerned about the risk of pregnancy, consider using emergency contraception if it is within the appropriate time frame, and consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice. Additionally, if you are sexually active and not planning for pregnancy, discussing reliable contraceptive methods with your partner is advisable to prevent unintended pregnancies in the future.
