As : As doctors, anytime a fertile, sexually active woman has an abnormally light or missed period, the first thing we do is rule out pregnancy. That being said, pregnancy is much less likely (but not impossible) without vaginal sex. You can either take another home pregnancy test as long as it has been 5- 6 weeks since your last normal period, or you can go see your doctor and they can test you. A home pregnancy test is 97% accurate if taken a week or more after the missed period, so another negative test would help confirm that you are not pregnant. A blood test can tell if you are pregnant as soon as 7 days after conception and a doctor's urine pregnancy test can tell if you are pregnant around when you next period should come.

Pre-ejaculate: Fresh, moist pre-ejaculate or ejaculate on fingers could lead to pregnancy if the fingers are inserted in the vagina when a woman is fertile. Pre-ejaculate may contain large amounts of viable sperm (less common), smaller amounts of sperm that are dead or alive or no sperm. There is potential for pregnancy with pre-ejaculate. Sperm need to be deposited in vagina or at introitus for pregnancy
