This might be a silly question but im genuinely worried. We were careful and he pulled out before, but my period is slightly late now and im stressing. Is there still a chance in this case? pls someone explain, dont want to panic for nothing.
Yes it can, because pre ejaculate fluid can sometimes carry sperm. So withdrawal is never a sure method. If youre not planning, use a proper contraceptive and talk to a doc about options.
I used to think it was safe without ejaculation too, but actually no. The pre fluid is enough sometimes. If youre worried about a specific time, a chemist test or doctor visit will give you clarity.
Short answer, yes its possible. Pre ejaculate can contain sperm so its not a foolproof method. For reliable family planning its really worth getting proper advice from a gynac on contraception.
Theres a real chance, the fluid before ejaculation can still have some sperm in it. Pulling out is not reliable birth control at all. If you want to avoid pregnancy, better to use a proper method, ask your gynac.
