possibly pregnant

[Anonymous]

I hooked up with someone last weekend, I am still a virgin but we did do outercourse were precum was present and it did touch my vagina, I am on the pill but messed it up so it came earlier than expected. I wanted to know the chances of pregnancy from this alone. Also I only have one ovary.

Hello Anonymous,

Ejaculate and pre-ejaculate can both contain sperm.

If either came within close proximity to the vaginal canal, there is a remote chance that it could have made it's way up to your uterus, fallopian tubes where fertilization normally occurs.

If you were ovulating last weekend, and your birth control pills were not protecting you, there is a chance.

It's a pretty small chance depending on how long you have been on the pill and how much pre-ejaculate was involved.

It's similar to when guys try to "pull out" at the last moment.

You can find a detailed explanation of that here:

"What are the chances of getting pregnant from this ('withdrawal' and pre-ejaculate)?

There is no way anyone could give you the odds on a pregnancy without an ejaculation as there are many variables involved. There could be a very small number of active sperm in your pre-ejaculate, but could those swim and fertilize and egg?"

I'd give it 3-4 weeks then try a home pregnancy test if you are really nervous. If you are "late" next month, definitely check.

Hope that helps.
