Question
Hi,
My girlfriend and i had sex about half a month ago (Apr. 21) and this time we didn't use protection so i pulled out, though now im starting to have second thoughts about pulling out on time and a little afraid that i might of pre-cummed within her.
Shes not on the pill or anything else and im scared she'll be pregnant. Even before sex, she has irregular periods. Sometimes she says she don't have one for 2-3 months.
With that being said, she has been feeling like she wants to puke and her stomach isn't feeling so well and shes been really nervous. I've been telling her it might just be the fact that shes thinking that she might be pregnant or just the stress of it?
I'm just wondering if its possible for her to be pregnant even with pre-cum?

She had her period the first of this month since sex and it was early she said which freaked us out more.....is there a chance she could be pregnant?

Thanks

Answer
Dear    Iv.,

If she had her period, how can she say it was early if it is irregular?
A period indicates NOT PREGNANT.  If she still doesn't believe it, simply buy a home pregnancy test at any drugstore and have her take it.  They are very reliable.

Yes, precum can cause pregnancy.

Good luck,
