About Diana Archer
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!

Question
hi there, my GF has a menstrual cycle varying from 26-33 days. so there is some confusion as to when she ovulates, seeing this i used a condom when making love. my problem is :her hand touched my penis when i was changing the condom {there was precum;[one drop] on my penis}& then she touched her vagina accidentally. can she get pregnant if she was ovulating or was near to ovulation??

Answer
Hey,

It is very unlikely she can become pregnant from this, but what part of her vagina did she touch? The skin on the outside, or did her fingers enter herself? Because during sex, sperm is deposited at the top end of the vagina to ensure a lot of it reaches the uterus, so if she touched the outside of her vagina with only a small ammount of sperm, it is unlikly any if it could make it up there to fertilize the egg.

To be safe, you could consider using another type of contraceptive as well as the condoms, well done for using them though!
The pill is a good option for most women.

Ask follow up if needed,

Diana
