Question
Hi Diane, really just had a general question on pregnancy and birth control.  Recently my girlfriend and I engaged in a little foreplay.  She's still a virgin and no penetration was involved my question is that I may have had precum on my penis near her vagina, however I'm not sure.  Once again no penetration was involved I was wondering how likely is a woman to get pregnant off of pre-cum.  I read that precum may contain semen from a preejaculation, but I'm positive I urinated in between.  I appreciate your time.  Curt

Answer
Hi Curt,

I'm not a medical doctor so I recommend a pregnancy test if you have any feelings that she could be pregnant. I think the chance would be small but it has happened! To find a pregnancy center to get a free test, go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If you are not in U.S. then go to http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
Please consider abstinence for this time in your life. No pregnancy worries or worries about sexually transmitted disease.
Please followup and let me know what happens.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
