Question: Hello
I am a guy and i did not have sex. My gf gave me a handjob and we wiped our hands with a tissue and then i touched her down there. But she still took unwanted 72 as a precaution within 24hours of this event. What are the chances that she will get pregnant?

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for the query under Healthcaremagic
I undlerstand your concern.
Conception needs semen deposited in vagina .. that too around her ovulation day ( roughly midcycle day in 28 days cycle )
In your case there is no possibility of semen reaching vagina ... as after wiping of hands even if few sperms might have reached ...vagina while touching her down ... but it was all dry ( the liquid semen has been already soaked away by the tissue paper)& sperms can not proceed in cervix &uterus in dry medium. So there was practically no chance of conception.
In addition she had taken emergency contraceptive( unwanted 72 ) within 24 hours ... That rules out possibility of pregnancy.. even if few drops of semen had enteted unknowingly.
So please cool down,she has no chance of pregnancy with the sex discussed in this question
I would like to inform you that her next menses would be delayed by 8 to 10 days .. due to the effects of hormonal content in unwanted 72.
I would like to suggest for using some contraceptive (condom/oral cyclical pills )rather than using high dose emergency pills hence forth.
I hope that answers your query.Any follow up query you have..please feel free to ask.
Please close the query &grade the answer if you don't have any fillow up query.
Thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for the follow up query.
*The hormones in the unwanted 72 are menstrual hormones in high dose...they postpone ovulation if it happens to be around the sex /or cause a hormonal disturbance in menstrual cycle. So whatever the condition is menses are disturbed&delayed.
* Even though the sex was around ovulation day .. she does not carry any risk to conceive as-
-It was practically a sex without vaginal deposition of semen.
-She had taken unwanted 72 within 24 hours of sex-so the ovulation even iif was to happen in the period... must have been postponed by the pills. &in case ovulation had already occured the hormonal imbalance created does not allow implantation of the fertilized ovum.
*So rest assured that there was no chance of conception with the sex act under consideration.
I hope the answer satisfies you.Any follow up query .. you still have is welcome.
Thanks.
