Prostatic fluid, finger stimulation, emergency contraception?

Hello, based on the situation you described, it is difficult to assess the likelihood of pregnancy.
However, as long as there are viable sperm present in the vagina during the ovulation period, there is a possibility of pregnancy regardless of the method of intercourse.
Emergency contraception can affect the menstrual cycle in various ways, not necessarily causing it to come early or late.
Its effectiveness is not 100%, with a failure rate of about 3%.
It is advisable to take appropriate contraceptive measures, and if necessary, consult a physician for evaluation.
Thank you! Wishing you safety and health.
Dr.

More Info

When it comes to the possibility of pregnancy after exposure to pre-ejaculate fluid and fingering, it's essential to understand the mechanics of conception and the nature of pre-ejaculate. Pre-ejaculate, or pre-cum, is a fluid released by the male during sexual arousal, and while it typically does not contain sperm, it can occasionally pick up sperm left in the urethra from a previous ejaculation. This means that there is a potential, albeit small, risk of pregnancy if pre-ejaculate comes into contact with the vaginal canal.

In your situation, you mentioned that your boyfriend had pre-ejaculate fluid before fingering you. If he did not ejaculate during the encounter and there was no direct ejaculation into the vagina, the likelihood of pregnancy is relatively low. However, the risk is not zero, especially if there was any sperm present in the pre-ejaculate. Additionally, since you engaged in mutual rubbing without any barrier protection, there is a slight chance of sperm transfer, which could also lead to pregnancy.

You also mentioned that you took emergency contraception (the "morning-after pill") approximately 67 hours after the encounter. Emergency contraception is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, ideally within 72 hours. The effectiveness decreases the longer you wait, but taking it within this timeframe significantly reduces the risk of pregnancy.
Regarding your menstrual cycle, you noted that it has been somewhat irregular, which can complicate the assessment of your risk for pregnancy. Irregular cycles can make it challenging to predict ovulation, which is the time when you are most fertile. If your cycle is irregular, it may be difficult to determine when you are at risk of becoming pregnant, but generally, if you are not in your fertile window, the chances of pregnancy decrease.

In summary, while there is a small risk of pregnancy from pre-ejaculate and fingering, the use of emergency contraception significantly reduces that risk. If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, it may be beneficial to take a pregnancy test a few weeks after the encounter for peace of mind. Additionally, if you find that your menstrual cycle continues to be irregular or if you have any other concerns about your reproductive health, consulting with a healthcare provider would be a prudent step. They can provide personalized advice and support based on your specific situation.
In the future, if you wish to avoid unintended pregnancies, consider discussing more reliable contraceptive methods with your partner, such as hormonal birth control, condoms, or other forms of contraception that suit your lifestyle and health needs.
