Hello dear,
I understand your concern.

In my opinion the prevention of pregnancy by eating of papaya or pineapples is a misnomer.

There is no such thing in modern medicine.

The first sign of pregnancy is missed period.

Other symptoms of pregnancy like nausea,vomitings, increased urination,sore breasts start 2 weeks after missed period.

As per your information a little bit of semen was ejaculated,so it cannot be definitely said that it will result in pregnancy.

So I suggest you to wait and check for the period.

If at all the period is delayed kindly do a urine pregnancy test a week after missed period for accurate results.

So relax.Avoid stress.

Nothing to worry.

Kindly wait and check for the period.

The papaya or pineapple increase the metabolism rate in body but there is no evidence that it will prevent pregnancy.

Hope this helps.

Best regards...,.Dr.Srilatha
