Question me and my girlfriend were having sex about 2 weeks ago and now shes feeling lower stomach pain on one side and lower back pain but she hasnt thrown up yet. could she be pregnant even if i didnt penetrate and ejaculate inside of her but got precum in her.
Answer Stan,
You can get pregnant from precum. The chances are rather small, but it is possible. I know firsthand because that is how I got pregnant when I was 15. Not all pregnant women throw up; many do, but not all.I never threw up once during my entire pregnancy.
Usually, lower back pain and stomach pain aren't typical pregnancy symptoms, so I would suggest she go to a doctor to make sure it isn't something even more serious.
If you want to take a pregnancy test, she should wait until her period is a week late for the test to be most accurate.
She most likely isn't pregnant. If she's not, make sure that in the future you always use a condom, even if you plan on pulling out.
