This might sound silly but i genuinely dont know and im too embarrassed to ask anyone i know. There was no actual intercourse but i got worried after and my period is slightly late. Just want to understand the real chances, pls dont judge.
It's low chance but not zero. If semen is on the vulva and very close to the vaginal opening, sperm can technically travel inside. Rare but possible. If you're worried about timing, watch for your next period or take a test if it's late.
I had this exact worry before I conceived actually. From what I read, direct contact near the opening carries some risk. If you're stressed about it just wait and do a prega news after your period date passes.
The risk is small compared to actual intercourse but doctors do say it's not impossible since sperm can swim. If you're trying to avoid pregnancy, better to use proper protection. For peace of mind, a test after a missed period clears it up.
Try not to panic over it. The odds are quite low, but if you missed your period or it's overdue, just take a home test and stop guessing. Either way you'll know clearly in a few days.
