We were careful but not fully, and now im stressing about it before my period date. Just trying to understand the actual chances here. Anyone know how likely this really is?
It is less likely than full ejaculation but it is not zero, precum can sometimes carry sperm. My doctor said withdrawal is not a reliable method for this reason. If you want to avoid pregnancy, use proper contraception.
There is a real chance, though lower, so the pull out method is not considered safe. If pregnancy is not your goal right now, please use a proper contraceptive. A doctor can guide you on the best option.
Dekho, it can happen, so dont treat withdrawal as safe. If you are not planning a baby, use protection properly. Better to be sure than to stress every month.
