QUESTION: I actually fingered her, and if i'm not wrong there was semen on my fingers. So as a precaution we got the morning after pills.

I've not done a pregnancy test yet and no signs of any bleeding of what so ever spottings are seen.

I'm asking because my previous girlfriend had a period 2 days after taking this morning after pills. And i'm getting worried as this is the 3rd day and she still have no signs of her period coming.

Answer
Hey Keef,


It is very unlikely that she will get pregnant from fingering, sounds like you're pretty safe.
Just calm down, and wait for a few more days, because I'm pretty sure that girls can't get pregnant from fingering, but because of the semen, it's best to be careful, which you were = )

Expertise

I love questions on condoms, the pill, what to do if contraception fails, if you could be pregnant, obtaining contraception (Even without parental permission). I have a lot of experience with teenagers. One thing I don't know too much about is the IUD, but I'm working on it. I really do care about the people that ask me questions! I don't mind lots of follow up, and I like to know if things turned out okay. I'll be with you every step of the way!
