Any chance of pregnancy from fingering?

Honestly, I feel a bit silly posting this...but I'm really scared. I'm 19 years old and have always told myself (since I was a little girl) that I would wait 'til marriage for sex. I've told my boyfriend and it's something that we both believe in, so we don't have sex...we do other things. Is there any possibility that I can get pregnant from him fingering me? If he ejaculated, touched himself, and then fingered me not immediately after...is there any way I can be pregnant? I was supposed to get my period 4 days ago and it's still not here. I feel all the symptoms I normally feel before my period....but it hasn't arrived and I've heard that period symptoms and pregnancy symptoms can be easily confused. To tell you the truth, I'm scared to death and would just like to know if there is any possibility of pregnancy. Thank you so much.

Hey, if people can get pg from pre-***, than they can possibly (I didn't say it was a good chance she could be) get pg from semen on hands.

Even if you aren't pg, maybe this is enough of a scare to coax you into being a bit more careful.

Thanks, I guess. If you didn't really read my last post, I mentioned that I'm always extremely careful and I'm not even sure if this did occur...I'm just asking what the chances would be if it did. To be completely honest, responses like that make me want to abstain from having any kind of sexual relationship at all. I mean, compared to most teenage couples, we have a lot more respect for each other and are a lot more careful. Regardless, thanks for the response...I guess it's good to know I shouldn't stop worrying.

Highly unlikely that you are pg.  But if you want to satisfy your mind take a test.

You know, I've noticed that on some boards you could tell people you were on the pill, used a condom, had a tubal ligation, and you hadn't even had genital contact, and they would STILL tell you that you could be pregnant. What is behind this? Just how safe do you think people have to be? Is there an abstinence agenda at work here? Or just lack of knowledge about pregnancy risks? Seriously, I'd really like to know. This poster couldn't POSSIBLY be safer and still have a partner.

You are fine, I promise. Try posting and reading on this board: http://boards.webmd.com/webx?50@@.5987f466. The therapist and the regulars on that board are VERY knowledgeable, and the overall vibe is a very sex-positive and accurate, informative approach to sexuality.

As Monkeyflower said, there is no way you could be pregnant based on the description of events you gave.  He would have had to have had a glob of sperm on his hand and shoved it way on up.  Sorry if that is graphic.  You have absolutely zero to worry about.

I too have noticed what Monkeyflower has mentioned.  I'm very confused by it as well.  People will say they use a condom as well as being on birth control and are still lectured.  It's very strange.  Intimacy and touch can be beautiful when shared by two people who care/love eachother.  There is nothing wrong with exploration.  

I think it's wonderful that the two of you want to wait.  It would be ok if you didn't as well.  If you have the opportunity, you may want to take a human sexuality course.  You may find it very beneficial.
