Q: Viability of pre-ejaculation fluid
asked by: DoctorQuestion on July 2nd, 2009
Last night my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex but it was literally for only 30 seconds and he pulled out so he didn't cum inside of me. I know you can still get pregnant from precum and he had ejaculated about 2 hours before that. I know that I can get pregnant from this but are my chances really high? Should I wait until my next period which is in about a week or should I take the morning-after pill?

Pre-ejaculation fluid is a fluid that contains most of the liquids found in the ejaculate, but lacks the semen which is expelled with the ejaculation.


The pre-ejaculation fluid might contain viable spermatozoids, especially if the male ejaculated a couple of hours before the intercourse. Certain of the spermatozoids might be left behind in the genital canals and expelled with the new fluids in the pre-ejaculate. Of course, the chances for conceiving in this manner are significantly smaller than with the ejaculate, but it is still possible.


You might want to visit your gynecologist and check whether your health condition might allow usage of the morning-after pill in order to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
