“Could I be pregnant?”
Could I be pregnant if sperm came in contact with upper thigh/bikini line mostly on my shorts? I noticed immediately and cleaned and took off the shorts. No penetration. Period came normally after (I heard it could be implantation?) but weird dreams.

Hello and thanks for reaching out!
Typically semen has to get into the vagina to get the resources it needs to swim to the place for you to get pregnant. The fact that your period came right after could have just meant that it was actually time for your period. You can always take a pregnancy test to be sure. They’ll typically be positive after your missed period.
As always, for more individualized care and answers, you should always speak with your provider.
Hope all goes well!

HI, yes the sperm from your leg can get into the vagina by different ways not only penetration. If you have gotten a normal period on time then you should be ok, but for future reference you should get on a birth control method. Dr L
