Can I get pregnant by splashed water containing semen?

Resolved Question:

This is an embarrassing question. Another doctor helped me with this but I struggle with worrying about this and want to get reassurance.

Is pregnancy at all possible from a toilet?
Has anyone ever gotten pregnant from a toilet seat or the water inside?

If semen was released into a toilet but then flushed, and someone used the toilet soon after, could they get pregnant if any water splashed up from inside the toilet and hit the vagina? The assumption would be that some semen didn't get flushed and may still be in the water, and what if a splash of water/semen hit the vagina.

Is this possible, or anything like it?

Please help and explain, thank you.

Hello,
Till now i have never been asked such a question.
There is absolutely no chance of pregnancy occuring in the way you assumed it might.
I can give you my complete reassurance regarding that.
And also in my practise, i have not seen anyone worry about something similar.
See i understand, pregnancy risk is something that is scary. But in your case there is nothing valid to be scared about. Pregnancy can't occur from toilet seat or due to water splashing up.
Regards.
