Is this an irrational fear??

[Janey88]

Hi I have a question that might sound silly. But here goes. A male friend stayed over the other night (friend only) and used my shower. I'm pretty sure he might have used my towel. Anyway I didn't realize this until after I had also used the towel, about an hour after he had used it. When it hit me, I thought oh my gosh what if he had masturbated in the shower and used my towel and now I used it to wipe myself! Could I be pregnant from this? Please offer me your advice. I'm quite nervous...it was three weeks ago and I have taken pregnancy tests everyday for the past week, all negative. Can I trust these tests or should I get a blood test. I'm also on the pill but had only just started it!. Muchly appreciated!

Do NOT worry. You cannot get pregnant from using a towel. I doubt that your friend did use the towel for anything that you suggest.

Don't waste any more money on pregnancy tests.
Best to give your friends a towel to use when they stay over for hygiene reasons.

I'm so sorry. I meant to say, no, I do not think you're pregnant.

You cannot get pregnant that way.  Do you usually have these kinds of "what if" anxiety driven thoughts?  If so, you may want to seek some professional help, so that you can address it.

Good luck to you!

sperm it dies like within something 20 minutes of leaving the penis if it is not travling in you. It dries up quickly, and that's to say if he used your towel and not tissue or just let it run down the toilet or shower drian.

No, I don't think you're not pregnant.
