Possible: But not highly likely. Sperm are present and it only takes one, but they are not in high concentration. Consider a spermicidal lubricant, or better yet, condoms, in future to be safer from unwanted pregnancy and std risk.

Variable: Most studies have shown low levels of sperm or no sperm in pre-ejaculate with sperm not being motile (however, don't know how promptly samples were examined). One small study published in 2011 showed that there are some individuals with a high motile sperm count in pre-ejaculate. See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3564677/

Semen: There are sperm in these secretions, so pregnancy is possible. Use a condom.

A 22-year-old female asked:
What are the chances to get pregnant with pre cum if he came and didn't come inside of me could there still be a chance of getting pregnant?

Yes: If pre-ejaculate is in the vagina or the introitus (tissues around the opening of the vagina) this could lead to pregnancy. The chance is less than with ejaculate because of the lower concentration of sperm. Pull out method is not good for birth control. Protection should be used consistently if pregnancy is not desired.

A male asked:
Is it possible to get pregnant with pre-cum the day before a girls' period? Is the chance more likely?

Dr. Kathy Robinsonanswered
Family Medicine 32 years experience
Not likely: Pregnancy occurs most commonly if sperm is introduced in to the female system (precum has sperm) in a 5-7 day time period around the time of ovulation. If it is the day before her period you are out of that range and pregnancy is unlikely. Use condoms if you want to avoid pregnancy and infections.
