Question:
Hi,
I am currently taking the contraceptive Pill Microgynon 30 , never missed a pill and we use condoms. The other evening my husband touched himself at the bottom of his penis and reassured me no pre cum was on his hand then fingered me.
This may sound ridiculous but I am really concerned about sperm coming into contact with my vagina despite being on the pill. It is as if I don't trust this method.
I am safe to say that I couldn't be pregnant from this situation and the pill if taken correctly will prevent pregnancy?
Thank you for your time.

Dear concerned,
It sounds from what you describe that your chance of being pregnant is slim to none. Birth control pills, when taken consistently and correctly are 99.7 percent effective. Consistent and correct use is taking the pill once a day, every day, at approximately the same time each day. The failure rate of oral contraceptives when taken consistently and correctly is .3 percent. From what you have described, it sounds as if you are taking the pill as you should in order to have the highest chance of success.
Also in your favor is the fact that your husband did not ejaculate inside you. The chances of pregnancy from him touching his penis, then fingering you are even lower than if he had come inside of you. I am sure you will feel better once you have your period again, but try to relax knowing the odds are in your favor that you are not pregnant from what you have described to me. The pill is not 100% effective, but very close to it. I hope this helps.Reviewed by: Patricia Fawver Ph.D. in Sexology
