Getting Pregnant Answer A120

There is a very small possibility that a woman becomes pregnant when a man pulls his penis out before ejaculation because spermatozoids can be present in the liquid located on the urethra. This liquid is produced by urethral glands and it esacpes the urethra before ejaculation, serving as a lubricant. In this case, genetic analyses can determine whose genes are present in the fetus.
