can you get pregnant from heavy petting no penetration?

NO: If there is no semen on the hands then heavy petting with no penetration will not lead to pregnancy. However, digital penetration of the vagina with semen on the fingers could lead to pregnancy.

A 48-year-old member asked:
Has anybody ever used spermicides before and gotten preggers?
1 doctor answer • 2 doctors weighed in
Dr. Wayne Ingramanswered
Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Yes, very often: Spermicidal foams, gels, and films when used alone without a condom have a significantly high pregnancy rate. In other words, if 100 women were using a spermicide alone as their only means of contraception, approximately 20 would be pregnant in one year.

Why can't I get pregnant after the depo?

In time: Your body has to clear the drug before your regular periods resume. Once this happens, you should be able to get pregnant unless there are some other issues preventing this from happening. So please see your gynecologist if you have been trying for a while without success.

Plus, if you have been trying to get pregnant for a year or more, your partner should be tested first if he has not fathered a child yet.
