precum and pregnancy?

by WorryNut, Jun 21, 2007 12:00AM
I'm a 23 year old male. On June 9 I was about to have sex, i started to rub my parts against hers for about 10 seconds, then i tried to penetrate but only for about 10 more seconds and barely inserted the tip. I was aware of precum but i had not masturbated for a couple of days.  I did not ejaculated at all. She told me she started her period around June 1.  Can she be pregnant from this encounter. I think it's a long shot for that to happen.

         Its a very very long shot. But if you want to make sure, you could go get a commercial pregnancy test- see what amount of time they need for them to correctly diagnosis whether or not she is pregnant, and use the product. ( It is very simple, all she needs to do is pee on a swab and it will turn a color that tells her if she is pregnant or not.

    Usually precum is just not enough sperm to warrant worry of a pregnancy, but I have been told it is not impossible.  If you are going to 'play around'- get dressed for it- and use a condom!
