Sorry if this sounds silly but im genuinely anxious and dont have anyone to ask. There was contact outside but nothing else happened. Now im stressing about it, can this actually lead to pregnancy?
I am not an expert but yes I have read it can happen, small chance. If you are anxious about this, the best thing is to just test after your period is due. No point guessing and stressing.
I had the same worry once before I was actually trying, so I understand the panic. I just waited and tested and it cleared my doubt. Try not to spiral, just test when the time is right.
If sperm gets to the vaginal opening, there is a small but real chance even without full intercourse. Its not common but its possible. If you are worried about timing, take a test after your missed period.
