A member asked:

I had semen on my hand but washed it with soap then washed my vulva right away. got my period after 10 days but i'm afraid it was decidual bleeding yet it really felt like a normal period in terms of flow and it lasted 5 days. could i be pregnant?

The chances that exposure to the semen as described triggered a pregnancy approach zero. Sperm are fragile & die quickly when exposed outside of the vagina. Time will tell.
