Could Fingering With Sperm Filled Fingers Cause Pregnancy?

Hi, only august 14th my boyfriend fingered me. Before that he adjusted his penis and may have gotten sperm on it. It is now the 27th and I m really scared I might be pregnant. I have abdominal cramping and today one drop of blood. Could this be my period ?

Hallow Dear,

Fingering will not cause pregnancy, unless considerable amount of semen is deposited in the vagina.

You are indeed not sure whether he had his finger soiled with semen. So the possibility of pregnancy is very remote.

The first cardinal symptom of pregnancy is missing a period. If your menses are still awaited, wait for them to appear. If you get the menses, you are not pregnant. If you miss your periods, then perform pregnancy test on the overnight morning first urine sample a week after missing the period; earlier the test may report false negative results.

Alternatively you may opt for Beta hCG test on your blood 10 days after this sexual encounter; i.e. after 24 August.

Either of these tests will resolve your dilemma.
