A member asked:

Can sperms cause pregnancy after 4 hours lying under the foreskin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Lin answered

Probably not...: Considering the high fastidious requirements for sperms to survive, move, and swim, those sperms trapped between glans penis and foreskin if any probably would not be good for fertilizing a timely waiting egg. Nonetheless, do HPT in a week after missing period and repeat it if the first test is (-) and still in doubt.
