Is it possible for pregnancy to occur without penetration if a woman wipes herself with a towel that had been used to clean up sperm a half hour earlier?

I've been having my period almost non-stop for 7 months. I'm concerned about going to the doctor during this pandemic but I'm becoming more and more concerned. I'm not using any contraceptives. I started a regular period at the end of last October and since then I've bled every day with the exception of a week in January and a three days at the end of March. I've never had a pap test. No swelling or discoloration, and I haven't noticed any unusual smells. I'm 21 years old, don't suffer from blood clots, the bleeding is sometimes heavy but most of the time it is normal, and I'm not taking any medicines.

The right side of my abdomen feels sore and tender to the touch, like it's bruised. It hurts when I laugh or put light pressure on it. I'm a 28-year-old female, and I noticed this yesterday below the belly button. I was nauseous on Sunday and Monday but not today. There's no rash, and my bowel movements are normal with no urinary symptoms. My stomach feels more bloated than usual and firm. I had my period from the 13th to the 17th, with spotting since then, and I took antibiotics for BV from the 16th to the 22nd. What could be causing this?

I had a chemical pregnancy last month with positive tests before my expected missed period. Now, I have similar symptoms but the tests aren't positive. Can I still be pregnant and have different levels of hormones this time?

My wife is a 31-year-old, Caucasian, female who is 35.6 weeks pregnant with her first child. She began having frequent, non-painful, intermittent Braxton Hicks contractions this morning for about 3 hours. The contractions eventually resolved with rest and hydration, but she has had a few more intermittent ones throughout the day. She denies any vaginal discharge or lower abdominal cramping. Are there any recommendations? At what point should she contact her doctor? Should any restrictions be in place?
