This might sound silly but im genuinely confused. Me and my husband were close but there was no actual intercourse, and now im a bit worried. Can pregnancy still happen like this? pls dont judge, just want to understand.
I had this same confusion when we were just married, felt too shy to ask anyone honestly. The doc explained it calmly to me and it cleared my mind. No question is silly when it comes to ur body.
Actually conception only happens when sperm meets egg, so the path matters more than the exact act. Things like IUI also do it without normal intercourse, that's why people sometimes get confused. For ur own case just talk to a gynac, they explain it properly.
Pregnancy needs sperm to reach the egg, that's the basic thing. So full intercourse is not the only way, but normally without sperm getting inside there is no chance. Don't believe random scary stuff online, ask your gynac if u have a real doubt.
