Is It Possible To Get Pregnant Without Vaginal Penetration?

Posted on Tue, 31 Mar 2015

Question: This might be a silly question and I have seen it all over the internent and have a little bit of anxiety but I am managing it. I recently found out that I'm pregnant. I share a house hold with 3 boys (range from 22-27yrs old) I'm worried I got pregnant from the toilet as there was a fluid mass on the toilet seat I wiped it off the seat with toilet paper and I wiped front to back with the same piece and now scared. What factors would make this true if any? I had a lot of egg white mucous at the time which is what I understand is ovulating. I have a boyfriend but I'm too embarrassed to mention this to him. I can't help but think it's not his which makes me upset

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy not possible with wiping

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

I dont think the question is silly at all. It is a genuine question. Pregnancy is not possible by just wiping semen on the external genitalia. It requires intercourse and ejaculation inside the vagina.
I am sure it is your boyfriends.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Thanks for getting back, I am sorry for the short delay in my reply I just came back from the hospital.

It is not possible for the sperm to swim and fertilize your egg as the vagina itself will have a lot of spermicides which kills the sperms.

Thank you for your answer.
The only thing that get me worried when I read on the Internet about this topic it usually has a response of an "unlikely" chance which worries me as it can happen, if you know what I mean?

So basically if the sperm is on the toilet seat and transfered to the toilet paper and I wiped front to back the sperm is unable to swim, even if it's a short amount of time from my room mate using the toilet to me using the toilet?

Hello

I understand your concern. Let me phrase my sentence differently.

Sperm when brushed off the toilet seat and then wiped on your vagina will not cause pregnancy. If you have had unprotected intercourse with your boyfriend then he is the father.
I hope I was clear this time.
