Anonymous: Hi, so I gave my boyfriend a hand job about a month ago and he ejaculated, but literally just a drop, and it got on my finger. I wiped it back on him and had none on my hand. he washed his hands and didnt touch me after that. I went home about an hour or more later and I touched my vagina lightly. I have missed my period, and was nasaeus for three days before I was supposed to get it, and now. My period usually is around the 7-9th. I have been really anxious. Could it be nerves ? Or am I prego ?

Hi anon,

There is no risk of pregnancy from the situation you described. Sperm cannot live outside of the body very long, and if the fluids that surround the sperm are absorbed by something or dry up the sperm die. A pregnancy can only occur if sperm are deposited directly on the vaginal opening or inside of the vagina.

If you are still concerned you may want to take a pregnancy test. If you were to take one now it would be accurate. You can either take one at home or in a local clinic. You can find free or low-cost and confidential clinics near you here.

Periods can be late or skipped for lots of reasons, especially when you are a teen and your cycle may not be very regular yet. Periods can be late or skipped because of a change in sleeping, eating or exercise habits, weight gain or loss or stress.

I hope this helps!
