Can I Get Pregnant Like This?
TeenHealth is glad you are being proactive and asking these important questions. Based off your specific situation, it is possible to get pregnant but unlikely. Anytime semen is anywhere near the vagina, the sperm can still swim inside the vagina from any vaginal fluid and/or mucus. We recommend keeping track of your next period and ensuring that you do get it. If you miss your period or are still concerned, we strongly recommend taking a pregnancy test to confirm and to follow up with a doctor.
Remember, when it comes to tracking your period, the first day of the period counts as day 1. Then, approximately 28 days (about 4 weeks) later would be the next period. In addition, if your partner starts to experience symptoms of feeling very tired, nauseous, or hurtful cramps, it would also be a good idea to take an at home test to be sure.
If you still have concerns and need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist.
