Can Oral Sex and Fingering Lead to Pregnancy? Your Concerns - Obstetrics and Gynecology

Are you pregnant?


I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend on February 7, and I performed oral sex on him, swallowing his semen.
After that, we kissed, and he licked my vulva.
Could this lead to pregnancy? We used a condom during vaginal intercourse, but later he inserted his fingers into my vagina.
My period was expected to start on February 15, but it hasn't arrived yet.
I've noticed some reddish-brown discharge and have some abdominal pain.
I want to know if swallowing semen, followed by kissing and then licking my vulva, could result in pregnancy, especially since my period is late and I've noticed some blood.

More Info


When it comes to the concerns surrounding oral sex, fingering, and the potential for pregnancy, it's essential to clarify the mechanics of conception and the specific activities involved. Based on the details you've provided, let's break down your questions and concerns.

1. Can Oral Sex and Fingering Lead to Pregnancy?
Oral sex, in itself, does not lead to pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs when sperm from a male fertilizes an egg from a female, which typically happens through vaginal intercourse. In your case, even though you engaged in oral sex and subsequently had a tongue kiss with your boyfriend, the act of swallowing semen does not introduce sperm into the vaginal canal. Therefore, the risk of pregnancy from oral sex alone is virtually nonexistent.

2. Fingering and Sperm Transfer:
You mentioned that your boyfriend used his fingers to touch your vagina after engaging in oral sex. If his fingers had come into contact with semen, there is a theoretical risk of transferring sperm to the vaginal area. However, for pregnancy to occur, a sufficient number of viable sperm must be deposited in the vagina, and they must be able to swim through the cervical mucus to reach the egg. The likelihood of this happening through fingering is low, especially if there was no direct ejaculation into the vagina.

3. Missed Period and Symptoms:
You indicated that your expected period on February 15 has not arrived, and you have noticed some brownish discharge and abdominal discomfort. A missed period can be caused by various factors, including stress, hormonal changes, or other health issues. While pregnancy is one possibility, it is not the only explanation for a missed period. The brown discharge you observed could be old blood, which is not uncommon before a period starts or as a result of hormonal fluctuations.

4. Understanding Your Symptoms:
The abdominal discomfort you are experiencing could be related to several factors, including premenstrual symptoms, ovulation pain, or even anxiety regarding the possibility of pregnancy. It is essential to monitor your symptoms and consider taking a home pregnancy test if your period does not arrive soon. This test can provide clarity on whether or not you are pregnant.

5. General Advice:
If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy or if your symptoms persist, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice, conduct necessary tests, and help you understand your reproductive health better. Additionally, if you are sexually active and not planning for pregnancy, discussing contraceptive options with your healthcare provider can help you manage your sexual health more effectively.

In summary, based on the activities you described, the risk of pregnancy is minimal. However, if you continue to experience irregularities in your menstrual cycle or have concerns about your sexual health, seeking medical advice is always a prudent step.
