Would semen in toilet paper cause pregnancy on using?

Resolved Question:

Need to understand the risk of pregnancy on this topic. I closed the previous question without asking an additional follow up previously. Here is the scenario.
Some semen got on the toilet paper and was not removed.
About 30 minutes to an hour later the toilet paper was used to wipe after peeing by the woman.
About one hour to an hour and a half after that sex occurred with a condom.
Would it be possible for the semen from the toilet paper to cause pregnancy if the sex pushed it up farther or is that to long after ejaculation in the first place for the semen to be viable?

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
There is no chance of pregnancy, semen does not stay viable outside the human body for more than 2 minutes, and if it is not inside the vagina, it liquefies immediately. Firstly, it can't cause pregnancy from a tissue paper anyway, and secondly, it liquefied. So the chance of pregnancy is nil.
Secondly, there was sex with condom, so even in that scenario, there is no chance of any pregnancy.
Hope this was helpful,
Regards.

Patient replied :

So basically what your saying is that the sperm would be dead in that initial amount of time so there is no chance that the semen from the toilet paper could get into the vulva area and stay alive long enough for sex to push it up into the vagina?

Hello,
Yes, the sperm would liquefy and there is no chance of it being pushed back.
Please do not worry.
