Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Is it really possible to get pregnant without penetrating into vagina? We did not have sex. We rubbed the vagina and penis. Her period is late by two days. Is there any chance of getting pregnant?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Rubbing penis and vagina will not cause pregnancy. But, if it was after ejaculating outside and then rubbing and fingering can allow few sperm to get in. If she is on ovulating day then there is a possibility, though it is rare, it can be considered. So, if any delay please do a pregnancy test to confirm. Usually, ovulation happens 14 days prior to menses.

Patient's Query

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If she got her periods then nothing to worry. There is no pregnancy.
