Anyone got pregnant from pre-cum?

56 replies

Partner and I had unprotected sex yesterday. He didn't "finish" as we agreed he wouldn't as we were both in a rush and just wanted some clean fun. But he was really close, like super close and kept having to stop and start again to stop himself.

Turns out I am due to ovulate today or tomorrow.

Is there any chance pre-cum or any sperm could leak out? Is this likely or just some kind of myth or super rare?

Not TTC right now but wouldn't be a disaster either if I was pregnant.

Just to conclude this thread for anyone who has commented or anyone who may read this in the future:

So 2 days after period was due, temp was still high. Did a pregnancy test and got a very faint line.

Next day, started bleeding and temp dropped.

Either it was a faulty test and faulty temp, or I had a chemical.

I wasn't TTC so not too gutted, although my emotions were all over the place thinking I was pregnant one minute then not the next.

Wasn't here at the start but definitely here to see how this pans out especially since you haven't seen a temp drop yet 👀 I hope whatever the outcome you are happy 😊✨

Posting an update as I know it's frustrating when you find an old thread and never find out what the outcome was.

So ended up ovulating later than anticipated. So would have had sex about 4 days before ovulation so thought I might be safe.

Period is due today. I temp, and my temp is getting higher still. Never had this before on the day AF is due. Normally would have started dropping 2 days ago.

Very nervous but too scared to test. I'll see what tomorrow's temp is like if AF still does not arrive.

Currently happening to us! Using the withdrawal method for the last 3 years always been ok except this time! Now pregnant with baby number 4. I guess if we both wanted to avoid it we wouldn't use this method but we're okay with it.

Not exactly a scientific fact from me but my best friend and her DP were using withdrawal method for years then decided to TTC and they fell pregnant on the first month where he didn't pull out!

I've also been off the pill since 2020 and always just used withdrawal method because it didn't really matter if I got pregnant in that time and haven't fallen pregnant that way! X

Back to OP, yes, there's a chance you could become pregnant. Unless you're sure that's what you want, you should be using contraception

EarringsandLipstick · 06/05/2022 07:33

Meant to add, this was part of the recommended approach for family planning.

EarringsandLipstick · 06/05/2022 07:32

I doubt women were monitoring their secretions and temperature 40 years or more ago

Just on this - they absolutely were! I remember coming across a pamphlet on natural family planning in my parents' house, published about 50 years ago now. (Irish, Catholic)

Just clean fun? Just get condoms

sjxoxo · 06/05/2022 04:46

you kind of are ttc if you’re having unprotected sex tbh.. you seem a bit blasé about it- I would start using protection. I think you focussing on ovulation etc is very unreliable. X

@PregnantGrannyMumof10 surely this has to be one of those trolls. It seems as though the tik tok kids are invading again.

@PregnantGrannyMumof10 I do not feel like disclosing that type of information. What I will say though is that I am quite young (25-ish) so it was quite a surprise, very happy though, can't wait for when they are born in 2 months.

PregnantMumOf4 · 06/05/2022 01:54

@pixie5121 He gets really tired, we only did it once. Thanks for the concern.

When me and my husband were trying to conceive 7 months ago, he accidentally pulled out but I still got pregnant, our only idea of how it could of happened is that I got pregnant from the pre-cum. Now I'm pregnant with quadruplets, so I guess anything is possible.

PleasantFucker · 06/05/2022 01:27

Yes, happened to us. I don't think the MAP works on ovulation day does it?

Airfriedpotatowitch · 06/05/2022 00:40

Yes and yes again, get a morning after pill from chemist if needed u can order online same day pick up from boots (I learned my lesson )

Whadda · 06/05/2022 00:10

^unprotected sex.

Although it didn’t sound all that productive either 😉
