?prenut: I assume from the context you mean the pre-ejaculate. All of the secretions of an excited penis have enough sperm to impregnate you.The pull-out plan is easy but not a dependable form of contraception. If you want to avoid pregnancy you must use additional methods. Yes , you can be pregnant.

Pre- ejaculate: Most studies have showed low levels of sperm (and sometimes no sperm) in pre-ejaculate. One study showed that there are some individuals with a high sperm count in pre-ejaculate.

Some sperm get in: A guy's sperm are trained and ready to go at a moment's notice, while they sit waiting in the epididymis just outside each testicle. Sometimes, enough sperm get out into the "precum", but all you need is one single sperm to fertilize the egg and start a new baby. So, occasionally, one can get pregnant from "precum".

Pre-ejaculate: Although pre-ejaculate has a lower concentration of sperm than ejaculate- it can none- the- less fertilize an egg.

Pre-ejaculate: Theoretically 'yes, ' conventional wisdom has always said this, although speaking scientifically no study of any kind has ever been reported to prove it (at least as of 2011.) so common sense says that if preventing pregnancy is your goal, all unprotected exposures must be treated as a risk.

Yes it is possible: Yes if the precum enters your vagina than it is possible as it does contain sperms even though in small amount and it can result in pregnancy.

Possibly: Most studies have shown low levels of sperm or no sperm in pre-ejaculate. Sperm are usually not motile. One small study published in 2011 showed that there are some individuals with a high sperm count in pre-ejaculate. See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3564677/

Yes you can if: If your partner is healthy, if his sperms are normal and motile, if your genito-sexual encounter occurs about the time of your ovulation and if your cervix, uterus and tubes are normal...you are at risks for "getting pregnant from precum"
