Q: Chances for Pregnancy with sperm on hand

I am very stressed out. I really need someone to tell me everything is going to be ok. PLEASE! Here is the situation:

The other day my boyfriend was masturbating and ejaculated into a sock because he had literally nothing at the time to clean up with. About 15-20 min. later, he jokingly placed it in my hand for a second, but I moved it away quickly. Later that day, about 2 1/2 hours later, I went to the bathroom and touched myself a little bit because I was checking something (no, I was not masturbating, and no, I did not put my fingers inside of myself). When I left the bathroom, I started thinking about this and quickly went back in tried to wipe myself with soap, as I read it kills sperm.

Is there anyway something could have happened? This is probably close to impossible, but I have heard of women getting pregnant from some strange situations before. I don't see how this could have happened, as I looked at my hands after picking up the sock, and they looked completely dry to me. I also looked at them after the bathroom incident, and they looked dry. I also was driving between the time that happened and the time I made contact with other objects a lot. I was holding the steering wheel, holding papers, messing around with money, ect. I don't see how any could remain on my hand, but I am paranoid. I am sorry for this weird question.

Also, if it is likely that I am NOT pregnant, how can I relax and not stress over this? I have a history of getting paranoid and stressed out and delaying my menstrual period because of it. How do I take my mind off of this so that I get a normal period and don't freak out even more? I really don't want to stress out for weeks (my period is due the 17th), so I would appreciate anything that would help ease my mind.

Sperm do not live very long in the open air. Very unlikely that you are pregnant off of this.

Sperm can survive up to 20 hours outside of the body the vagina is designed to facilitate the intake of sperm. You however are not pregnant. We're talking about a risk factor so small the zeros of it wouldn't fit int his box. If you sat in a pool of semen there would be a slim chance of impregnation but you're talking about several trace transfers over the span of several minutes. If you think about the times your boyfriend masturbated and touched something you touched on the planet you'll realize this sock isn't a risk.

What you should be concerned about is this paranoia of pregnancy. It's obviously causing you a lot of anguish to the point of being a real health risk in your life. It could also be a sign of some other problem in your life that you're not addressing. You may want to take a long quiet moment and ask yourself why you're so irrationally worried about pregnancy. If you can't figure it out perhaps an analyst could help you figure it out.
