So, you're wondering about precum and pregnancy? It's a common question! The short answer is: yes, pregnancy is *possible* from precum, but it's not as likely as with full ejaculation.
Precum, or pre-ejaculate fluid, is released before ejaculation. While it's primarily meant to lubricate, it *can* contain sperm. This is often due to residual sperm left in the urethra from a previous ejaculation. Even a small amount of sperm can lead to fertilization.
While the chances are lower compared to regular ejaculation, don't rely on precum as a form of birth control. If you're not trying to conceive, consistent and reliable contraception methods like condoms, birth control pills, or IUDs are crucial.
If you're concerned about pregnancy, taking a pregnancy test a few weeks after unprotected sex (even with just precum involved) is always a good idea. When in doubt, consult your doctor or a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
