Is Pregnancy Possible Through Non-penetrative Sexual Activity?
Question: hi doctor, me and my girlfriend had intercourse on feb 14th 2015, we didn't have any sexual contact but i did foreplay with my finger during that time i am doubting that my semen got in contact with her organ, because still she didn't get her period as it is 3 days from regular date, she had a papaya on the next day also. are there any chances of conceiving? if there are chances what's to be done to prevent it? please help me.
Brief Answer:
Wait for a week for normal periods to happen
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Intercourse means sexual contact so if you did not have any sexual contact that means there was no intercourse.
2. Semen getting deposited close to the vagina can rarely cause a pregnancy.
3. If your girlfriend did not get periods for 3 days from expected date then she must wait at least one week and delayed periods is commonly due to mental stress and tension. Please ask her not to worry and be relaxed mentally.
4. Pregnancy test done at home will show a positive pregnancy accurately when done 15 days after the probable sexual incident. If the incident happened on 14 February 2015 then she can do the home pregnancy test and confirm now. Result will be more than 97 percent accurate. However I suggest to wait for one week for periods to start and do test if periods do not come by next Friday.
5. If pregnancy test is positive then contact a gynecologist immediately for further treatment. Do not worry about privacy. Doctor will keep information confidential and there is no need to worry.
6. Papaya eating is not related to conceiving or preventing conception. If semen was deposited close to vaginal opening and through fingering then slight chance of pregnancy is there
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
