Is Pregnancy Possible Through Pre-ejaculatory Fluid?

Posted on Mon, 13 Jun 2016

Question: Chances of getting pregnant on 2nd day of period with 24 day cycle? Had a condom break with no ejaculation but worried about Pre-Ejaculation fluid.

Answered by Dr. Deepak (3 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
No chance of Pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
Thank you for the query.

Pre-ejaculatory fluids also contains sperm.
But in this case, there is no chance of pregnancy as unprotected sex happened during SAFE period.
A week before and after ovulation is considered UNSAFE period and chances of getting pregnant will be more but not during SAFE period.

Hope this helps.
Get back to me if you have further query.

The incident happened on April 10th, she wasnt supposed to ovulate until April 18th or 19th, is that low risk? Because her cycle is so short we are really worried. I have heard in the past that Pre-Ejaculation fluid only contains about 5% of sperm count. Is that true?

Brief Answer:
Discussed below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome back.

Kindly give few more details, like
When was her last period?
Did you mean ovulate or monthly period on april 18th-19th?

Pre-ejaculatory fluid (Precum) also contains sperm. Although the exact number cannot be said, pregnancy can sometimes occur due to precum also.

Get back to me with answers to above questions and I will answer your concern.

Her period before the one when it happened was on March 12th and ended on March 16th. Her next one started on April 8th, and two days later on the 10th is when the condom broke. Her period was only on the second day. That period ended on the 12th. She was supposed to ovulate on April 18th or 19th. She does track it on a calendar.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the answers.

You have nothing to worry.
There is no chance of pregnancy. She was in SAFE period when the incident happened. I can assure you this much. NO CHANCE OF PREGNANCY DURING PERIODS.

But if you still have any doubt, I suggest you to take Urine pregnancy test after 4-5 days from today. I;m sure it will be negative and it will take away all of your doubts.

Hope I have cleared your doubt.
