Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I was with my boyfriend and it was two to three days after my period. I gave him a hand job and he came on my hand. There was semen on my hand and I wipe it off, not completely I think some are left between my fingers. And then after like 20 seconds, I touched my vagina for two seconds I did not stick my finger in it. Then I only remember the semen between my fingers. I think it is only a little amount. Then I wiped my vagina with tissue three times because I was scared. And after like three minutes I washed my vagina with shampoo. I am worried that I push some sperm in my vagina when I was wiping. I took the morning-after pill the next day and then I saw the Internet saying it does not work for heavy women. And I read articles saying that contraceptive pills do not work for heavy women. Now after six days, my breast has a popping feeling. I am so scared. Could I be pregnant?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. I do not see any reason for you to worry about it. Only if the egg is alive in your body at that time, you had a chance for a pregnancy. For any lady, only by around the 12 to 16th day of the cycle, ovulation occurs the life of the egg is 24 hours, and that of sperm is 72 hours. So by no means egg was present in two to three days of periods and the sperm is not going to survive till the 12th to 16th day of the cycle. So I can assure you 100 % that you will not get pregnant. Had it been late next week, you had the chance. Even if the semen comes in contact with the thighs or genitals or even if the precum or pre-seminal fluid (clear fluid coming out before semen which is rich in young active sperms) touches anywhere, the sperms can swim up into the uterus, no matter with what you wash (soap, shampoo or anything) sperm reaches egg within seconds. But you got saved as the egg was not there at that time. So emergency pill was not needed actually, so its effect on the overweight is not meaningful. The morning-after pill or emergency contraceptive pill is a high dose of progesterone hormone which is produced in your body in the second half of the period after ovulation. This pill will suddenly increase the thickness of the inner lining of the uterus, making it unfavorable for a possible pregnancy to sit. As it is a single dose, it has no strength to stand on, so it falls off and you get period or bleeding of the increased thickness within seven to ten days. So the symptoms you are experiencing are the same symptoms every lady experiences in the second half of periods like depression, mood swings, breast tingling, bloated feel so on. The progesterone hormone in the pill is causing these, they will disappear once you have periods. Rest assured, you will not become pregnant this cycle. Next time be more careful with the semen or even the pre-seminal fluid, wash it repeatedly with soap, and dry it before you touch anywhere near the genitals. Use condoms, so semen is secured in the condom and the spermicidal jelly in the condom will kill the sperm. I hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.
