Is Pregnancy Possible Through Non-penetrative Sexual Activity?
Hi, I had gotten sperm on my hand then wiped it off. 10-30 minutes later I touched my vagina. Could I possibly be pregnant? Please note I did get my period that same month and had bad cramps then the next a Smooth period that was kind of light with no cramps which is not normal for me at all.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The possibility of pregnancy is very low in your situation.
Penetrative sexual activity is required for the deposition of sperms in the vaginal tract.
Conception takes place only when the sperms are deposited during ovulation of the female partner.
Washing of the hands has washed away the sperms which might have deposited on the hand.
Thus, the chances are very low.
Presence of menstruation further rules out pregrnancy because pregnancy is marked by amenorrhea or absence of menstruation.
Thanks and take care
