Question:
my period is usually 27 days cycle. I was on my 15ths day since the first day of my last period. My boyfriend pre-ejaculated on his boxers. He touched the damp spot, then waited for 30 seconds before he fingered me. The last time he ejaculated was 2 days before that happened so he had peed alot after. Could i still get pregnant from that?

It doesn't seem likely that you have to worry about pregnancy from what you described. There can be sperm in precum (pre-ejaculate), but the fact that your boyfriend just touched a wet spot on his boxers before fingering you does not seem like he would have sperm on his fingers from that type of contact. Often, the "wet spot" on the penis after erection is a fluid produced by the Cowper's glands. This fluid is thought to lubricate the flow of semen through the urethra. It does not usually contain high amounts of sperm, though. As far as urination is concerned, the frequency of urination will not have any affect on sperm or semen, as the seminal fluids originate sperately from the bladder. The seminal fluids travel through different tubes (ducts) and share the urethra near the end of that duct. The chances of pregnancy from this seem very unlikely to me. I am sure you will feel relieved once you cycle again, though!
