Could I be pregnant from fingering?

[Annamcclure09]

When I was ovulating my boyfriend fingered me and I am scared that precum got on me. He claimed he never touched his penis and that he wiped his hand off kinda before he fingered me. He came about 5 minutes after but he didn’t finger me after that. I am 11 days before my period and I have weird nipple pain. My boobs never hurt until a couple days before my period so this is freaking me out a bunch!

Hi and welcome to the boards!

The situation you described doesn’t pose a pregnancy risk. Simply because even if your partner touched his penis beforehand, there is now way any sperm could survive on it’s surface, then being transported to his hands and to your body, let alone be able to somehow cause pregnancy. You can read more about what does and doesn’t pose a risk here: Can I Get Pregnant, or Get or Pass On an STI From That?
And I also really suggest reading through this article that explains what sperm cells can and cannot survive in more detail: Who's Afraid of Sperm Cells?

I’m sorry you are experiencing nipple pain. Even though it has never happened before it could still be a sign of upcoming period as these can change from time to time.

Thank you for your response! Other websites say there is still a small risk of pregnancy? This is worrying me a lot because I can’t be 100% certain. Is there a reason why they say there is a chance and you say there isn’t? My irregular symptoms are what are making me nervous

We just can't speak for the decision-making of other organizations or places that we don't work with. For some (I would say many) that will be about liability: the fact is that this is one of those things that is theoretically possible, even though it's not at all likely in reality, and the comfort different people and places have vary with this kind of thing. Others still might just be operating off of older information, but again, we just can't know what other people or orgs are thinking.
