Is Withdrawal Method Effective At Preventing Pregnancy?
Question: Hi. My boyfriend and I are pretty careful but sometimes we mess around without protection. He never ejaculates inside me. In fact, it's not close to when he does. I'm just wondering the likely hood of becoming pregnant from pre ejaculation? I'm also ovulating does that increase the chances?
Brief Answer:
Precum may cause pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:

The chances of getting pregnant through precum is quite low in your case.(if he urinate and you clean than it will further decrease your chances of getting pregnant)
Yes,if you are ovulating than the chances of pregnancy quite high.
But as he was not ejaculated inside, the chances of pregnancy are quite low.
