is it possible to get pregnant without breaking your hymen?

If that happened, pregnancy is possible — even if your hymen (AKA “cherry” — the thin fleshy tissue that stretches across part of the opening to the vagina) didn't break. Just like other parts of your genitals, everyone's hymen is a little different. Not everyone's breaks the first time they have sex.

Contrary to popular belief, the hymen is not a flat piece of tissue covering the vagina, which is punctured during intercourse. If it were, girls would not be able to menstruate before they lose their virginity because there would be no outlet for menstrual blood.

No, you can't get pregnant just by swallowing semen. The only way for pregnancy to occur is if sperm comes in direct contact with the vagina. Although swallowing semen doesn't lead to pregnancy, it can put you at risk for a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Can I get pregnant if my clothes were on? No. Dry humping cannot lead to pregnancy. Since sperm cannot swim through clothing, getting pregnant while clothed (and that, of course, means while wearing clothing that prevents penetration—a mini-skirt pulled up around your waist doesn't count!)

No, you cannot get pregnant from just kissing someone. Pregnancy can only occur if sperm is ejaculated in or near the vagina. For more on how pregnancy happens, check out How Pregnancy Happens.

Can precum cause pregnancy? Precum itself should not contain any sperm and can therefore not cause pregnancy on its own.

Can you get pregnant without having a period in months? Yes, it's possible, but it's not likely. If you're not getting your periods, this is a good reason to see your gynecologist. There are some normal—and some not-so-normal—reasons this can occur.

Honestly, yours probably broke before the first time you had sex. If your hymen thinned over time, which many do, it may already be history before your first sexual encounter. Activities like biking, horseback riding, and gymnastics, plus using tampons and even masturbating, can all break your hymen, Rosser notes.

Our midwife Melissa says: Yes, it is possible to get pregnant without having a period. This is because we ovulate (release an egg) two weeks before we menstruate. When we ovulate, we are fertile, and it is at this time that we can fall pregnant.

Fingering on its own can't lead to pregnancy. But it is possible to get pregnant if a guy gets pre-ejaculate (precum) or ejaculate on his finger and then puts it in a girl's vagina.

You can get pregnant without condomless sex. This method involves injecting the man's semen into the vagina using a syringe during the woman's most fertile time—ovulation.

Yes, if the guy ejaculates and the condom breaks — even just a little bit — then there's a chance you can become pregnant. That's because even the tiniest tear in a condom is still big enough for microscopic sperm to swim through.

If you don't want a baby right now, Dr. Levine recommends using condoms in tandem with another form of birth control, like the pill or an IUD for more thorough coverage. Because yes, you can get pregnant using a condom even if it doesn't break.

And pre-cum can pick up sperm remaining in the urethra from a previous ejaculation. If either of these happen, the small amount of sperm in the pre-ejaculate might cause pregnancy, even though the chances are small. But if you're using the pill correctly, it's highly unlikely that you can get pregnant this way.
