Not hard: Fortunately / unfortunately it is very easy to get pregnant in most women. Perhaps at age 23, it would be unfortunate to have an unplanned pregnancy. In answer to your question, you can not impregnate yourself with sperm on your hand if you were to touch your vagina. Talk with your doctor about birth control options for someone currently taking warfarin. There might be options, such as an iud.

Possible, not likely: If sperm enters the vagina, conception can occur. It is generally assumed that many sperm are required to achieve conception.
