Is it possible to get pregnant after ejaculation in pants?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello,

My girlfriend and I were kissing in my car, and we were fully clothed with our jeans on as well. However, I happened to ejaculate in my pants during that time, although we both were quite far away from each other. I doubt if the wet patch on my pants would have come in contact with her jeans, and I am slightly worried if that would lead to a pregnancy. My girlfriend was supposed to have periods two days back. However, she was also infected with COVID-19 earlier this month, and soon after that, she had exams wherein she could get as less sleep as possible. She had PCOS a few years back, and usually, her periods are regular, but she is late this month. I am certainly worried if sperms would pass through clothes or is it due to other situations that she is experiencing delayed periods. Kindly help me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

The sperms cannot penetrate through multiple clothing layers like in your case.

Further, the sperms do not survive in the open for more than a few seconds due to various atmospheric reactions and pollutants or particles.

In your case, the ejaculation was on cloth which again has color and fabric coatings that act as chemicals for sperms to react with, and sperms die.

So do not worry. You both are 100 % safe from pregnancy.

Further stress added with lack of sleep and a history of PCOS is the cause for delay in her periods. Stress leads to delays in periods for almost 25 % of females worldwide.

Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

Thank you.

Hello,

When I ejaculated in my pants, I could see that my girlfriend's pants had a wet patch of semen near her zipper, which was carried to her from my trousers. Can that wet semen patch near her zipper cause pregnancy?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

As explained earlier, the sperms can not survive for that long, and their motility is not enough to pass through clothing.

Do not worry about pregnancy.

Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

God bless.
