Question
Hello, i have some questions i'd like to ask.
i last had sex about 2 weeks ago, and i got my period a few days after. now i think i ovulated last week, and didn't have sex during that period. i did have dry sex, and some pre-ejaculate went through my pants and underwear. NO actual ejaculation occurred.
i'm due for my period in about 9 days (i have a 25 day cycle and usually ovulate around day 10/11). recently, these past few days, i've been urinating a lot more often. it's worrying me, as i dont know if this is pregnancy related or not. there isn't any burning or pain when i urinate, and when i do there's a fair amount.
i have other usual pms symptoms (slightly sore breasts, moodiness) and also have been sick/congested/feverish.

what do you think? thank you for your time.

Answer
You're highly unlikely to get pregnant from pre-ejaculate on your underwear.  It doesn't sound like you could be pregnant, but you might want to do a pregnancy test to be sure.  By the time there are symptoms of pregnancy, a pregnancy test will be positive.  In the future, it would be best to use some good type of birth control to avoid this situation.
