Might sound like a silly doubt but i genuinely want to understand this properly. Nobody ever explained these things to me clearly. Just trying to clear my confusion, pls dont mind.
Generally it needs sperm meeting the egg. Close contact can sometimes do it even without full intercourse, though the odds are low. If you have a specific worry, just talk to a doctor for a clear answer.
My doctor explained that pregnancy needs sperm to reach the egg, which can happen without full intercourse if there's close genital contact, though chances are low. Procedures like IUI or IVF also achieve it without intercourse. So in certain situations yes, it's possible.
Yes, I conceived through IVF without intercourse, so it's definitely possible medically. If you're asking out of worry or out of planning, a gynac can explain exactly what applies to your case. No question is silly here.
