Pregnancy through clean precum

[ferrera]

Ok, what are the chances that I am preg? I wonder if I should be paranoid about this.

For the first time, I had sex about a week less before my period. And he used the withdrawal method and the last time he ejaculated was about 4 nights before so I'm pretty sure that his precum is pretty clean. He didn't ejaculate inside my vagina, just left some precum. The next day, we did it again and only left some precum.

I got all worried after hearing people saying that even precum can cause pregnancy given that the precum can carry some leftover sperm from the previous ejaculation.

Even though he didn't ejaculate, I'm still paranoid because I hear that even clean precum can cause pregnancy. Is that true? But in that situation, should I be worried about his precum?

Ok, considering that I was a week less before my period and now having pre-period cramps and very sore breasts (usual symptoms of period), should I still be worried about that chance of being preg? Even if I am already hving pre-period symptoms?

I've been worried to death about this. And I know I should have taken precaution and I will the next time but it was just unexpected (esp since it's a first time) and now I'm just scared ******** 'cause I'm 18 and I just have so many plans ahead in life.

Please, Help.
Thanx.

these ladies are absolutly correct. Pre *** can get you pregnant, coming from someone who has experienced it. My last pregnancy we used the withdrawal method and i end up getting pregnant from the pre-ejaculation. Like Ashelen said i wouldnt worry if your period comes, but if you want to make sure and dont think you can wait then take a home pregnancy test. Good luck :)

If your period starts, I wouldn't worry. If it's late, or lighter than usual you may want to test to be on the safe side, but if it starts normally you're 85% likely not to be pregnant (some women do bleed while pregnant but it's fairly uncommon). It may still be worth it to go to the clinic for the pills, because even condoms aren't 100%...but pills and condoms together are pretty reliable. Good luck :)

Thank Ashelen and yes, I'll be more careful.
BC aren't really available around here. I'd have to prescribe and go to a clini.
So i'll just rely on condoms maybe.
But really, even with condoms, I don't think I'd ever want to go through such risk how ever small it is.  

Thanks for the help :) ..
Btw, so with AF.. i shouldn't worry much then?

Aunt Flo...aka your period :)

I'm sorry to hear that gillian.
And you're very right about the unwanted pregnancies.
I seriously lost my train of throughts that day.

I'm sorry but what does AF stand for?

gillianl is right...and there's no such thing as "clean" pre-***. All it is is *** that's leaking out pre-orgasm, and it contains live sperm, no matter how recently the man has cummed before that time. You should ALWAYS worry about pre-*** just as much as you would with regular ***. Withdrawal method is not very effective, it's only effective if you chart your cycles and know when you are and aren't ovulating. Please don't be careless again...you DO have your whole life ahead of you and while a baby is not the life-ending experience a lot of women think it is, you don't seem to want one and should be more careful. Do not use withdrawal. Get on birth control..I don't know what country you live in but here in the U.S. they have birth control pills that you can get for $4 a month at wal-mart. Good luck.

There is ALWAYS a chance you have conceived even if your partner has not fully ejaculated.  i really hope you are not pregnant and the symptoms you are getting are just AF symptoms.  ALWAYS USE SOME SORT OF BC ON BOTH OF YOU, sorry to sound harsh but there are so many unwanted pregnancies and a lot of women like myself would love to conceive and haven't been able to do so.
