Question 1

can precum cause pregnancy ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: There is no guarantee that precum won't contain sperm and therefore could result in conception.

Question 2

iam have been doing sex with my partner since 2years, but now iam afraid to do so can precum cause pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Precum has sperm: Yes, precum has sperm and it has been shown to be a part of the story as far as causing pregnancy in fertile females.

Question 3

can small amounts of precum cause pregnancy like smaller then a dime?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely, but: Many things are possible in life, even if they rarely happen. Pregnancy is not likely with just pre-ejaculate (but is possible). However, if not married, settled down, and planning to start a family, a couple should begin using a reliable form of birth control about yesterday.

Question 4

hello doctor.can precum cause pregnancy?  if yes what are the ways to stop pregnancy if its been 4 days? an answer will be really appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Precum causes pregna: Yes, precum or pre-ejaculate does have sperm in it and can cause pregnancy sometimes. If it's been 4 days then you still have time for the morning after pill. Although it's called the morning after pill you can take it up to 5 days after unprotected sex.  The 'ella' pill works better but will require a prescription while 'plan B' is over the counter. Good luck :)

Question 5

can precum cause pregnancy in a girl on her last day of her period ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Whenever sperm is in the vagina without barrier of any kind, i.e. unprotected sex, there is a possibility of pregnancy. Less likely in this scenario but still possible.

Question 6

can sucking penis with precum cause pregnancy while on period?

Accepted Answer

No: Pregnancy is not possible in above circumstances. Contraception remains otherwise key in avoiding undesired pregnancy and associated anxiety and when intercourse is likely to occur.

Question 7

have an iud in place (kyleena), can precum cause pregnancy if i had on underwear and my partner did not? basically can precum pass through underwear or does the underwear act as a barrier?

Accepted Answer

No risk: From what you described there is virtually no risk of pregnancy, basically nil. 
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 8

hey question... can precum cause pregnancy even when the girl isn't ovulating? also what if a lot of saliva was used and i also removed the visible pre-ejectulate from my penis. a detailed explanation would be appreciated

Accepted Answer

How do U know ?: Isn't ovulating ???? Any excited penis will secrete sperm continuously during intercourse, and it only takes one to establish pregnancy.The scene you describe seems to imply low risk but not no risk of pregnancy,Any time you have intercourse without covering up with a condom can result in pregnancy. All forms of birth control occasionally fail, except for abstinence.

Question 9

i am informed i'm not pregnant but does precum really cause pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: is possible as pre-ejaculate usually contains sperm.

Question 10

if it takes just 1 sperm to fertile egg, y r men with low sperm count infertile. does precum really cause pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Odds ratio: Sperm have to swim upstream the equivalent of a human swimming 8 miles. Not all of them will survive. The odds are better of 1 making the journey if there are millions to start. Pre ejaculatory fluid can contain enough sperm per drop so one might make it to the egg. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
