Question : Hi,
- Can you get pregnant if clothes are on? Does fresh wet sperm need to get in the vagina to get someone pregnant? sorry if it seems silly there is just conflicting ideas on google and I've seen many websites say that penetration is not required to get pregnant
- Do all pregnant women have increased hcg levels? if I get tested and my results come back <5 is there still a chance that I could be pregnant or do all pregnancies have higher hcg levels?

Hi
ok so just to confirm unless fresh/wet semen gets inside the vagina there is no chance of pregnancy?
And all pregnant women have increased hcg levels so the tests can be trusted? thanks. How many weeks after the encounter do you have to wait to get accurate results?
