Hello Doctor,
My boyfriend came on my thigh and hand. I put my hand between my vagina and his penis, a little bit away from my vagina (around the distance of 4 fingers). I immediately washed it off with soap and water twice and also took the i-pill within 24 hours. The event happened 4 days before my expected ovulation period. Is there any risk of pregnancy?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Yes, there is a potential risk of pregnancy. Even though you took the emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill) within 24 hours, which significantly reduces the chance of pregnancy, it's important to note that no method is 100% effective. Since sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to five days, the proximity of the sperm to the vagina could still present a risk.
2. If you miss your period, I would recommend taking a home pregnancy test for confirmation. If the result is positive or if you have concerns, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation, including a scan if necessary.
Thanks
