What Are The Signs Of Conceiving?

Hello, I have a few questions to ask. Two weeks ago, I was fooling around with my boyfriend but we did not have intercourse. He rubbed against my area when he had his underwear on and I didn t, but I m pretty sure his underwear was not wet, but I know there was pre cum a few minutes before, but not in his underwear. Could I get pregnant from that? Also, a week ago, we fooled around again but this time he fingered me. I am unsure if he washed his hands within the past hour, but how long could sperm live outside of the human body? I was thinking that he might have masturbated but again, I don t know. I am a little stressed right now because of exams and projects and my period s supposed to arrive in 1-3 days. My nipples are a little swollen and sore but they are sometimes like that. Their colour did not change, however. Thank you, please answer as soon as possible.

Hello,
With the type of contact you had, it is not possible for conception to occur, especially when you are expecting your period. This is because you are already in the safe period as ovulation happens two weeks prior to the onset of the next period. Pre-ejaculate contains enough sperm to cause conception during the fertile or ovulatory period. Fingering with some sperm on it within an hour can instill active sperm, though many may not be active by then. This can happen only during the ovulatory period and hence, do not worry. You are safe. Please go for regular contraception to avoid risk. Take care.
