Q: How semen fertilizes and egg

asked by: DoctorQuestion on October 24th, 2009

Ok here's the deal my kid sister is 17 years old, she asked me to buy her a pregnancy test and of course I was a little shocked I asked her if she had sex and the shocker she said NO, but she said that she had oral sex or apparently teens are calling it "safe" sex she got fingered, can she get pregnant by being pregnant? If the guy had no visiable semon on his hands and had not touched himself right before he touched her is it even remotely possible to get pregnant by being pregnant... this seems silly to me, I don't know Im not a doctor, the test said negative but for future reference I want her to know weather or not you CAN YOU GET PREGNANT BY GETTING FINGERED?

The semen must enter the vagina, pass through the cervix of the uterus and the uterus itself and reach the Fallopian tubes where the actual conception occurs.

So, inserting fingers in the vagina cannot make a girl pregnant, unless there is semen on the fingers or if the male has not touched his penis immediately before touching the female.
