Sorry if this is a silly question but im really confused. We were careful but there was no full protection at one point and now im just panicking about whether this can actually lead to pregnancy. Has anyone here gone through this kind of worry?
Yes it can, chances are low but not zero. Pre cum can have some sperm in it sometimes. If u are not planning then use proper protection, withdrawal is not reliable at all.
Short answer yes. I know couples who got pregnant exactly like this. If you missed your period take a test after few days and stop stressing in your head, just get clarity.
I read same thing when I was reading before my pregnancy. Doctor told me dont depend on withdrawal, that's how a lot of unplanned ones happen actually.
Honestly the risk is small but real. Pull out method is just not a safe way to prevent pregnancy. If you want to be sure about contraception please talk to a gynac, they can guide you properly.
