Hi there. I am not quite sure by your question whether actual intercouse happened or not as you said that your boyfriend fingered you and not that you had sex...either waym you can get pregnant from precum. You will not notice any pergnancy symptoms in the first month or so as it takes time for implantation and such.
Wait and see if your next period comes as it usually does and if it does, take a pregnancy test.
If you are not wanting to get pregnant, you should see a doctor anyway and get on some type of birth control.
GoodLuck!

hi there, i was just wondering if i could be pregnant. The reason being, i have recently come off my pill (femodene) and am not using any sort of birth control, but my partner pulls out before orgasm is reached. we have been using this method for 1 month, my period is due in 9-10 days, and i have been experiencing very heavy tender breasts for about a week, with no sign of improvement. i have taken a preg test, and it has come out negative, maybe its to early to tell?? could the tender breasts be a side effect of discontinuing the pill, or could i possibly be pregnant? help!!

Hi Sammy-jo85,

It is too early for a pregnancy test. Wait until your period is actually due, some of the very sensitive tests may tell you one day before your period is due (some even 4 days before) but I stress the word MAY. I've known some women who definitely were pregnant and the tests didn't show pg until she was a day late. (this with a very sensitive test. see here peeonastick.com/hpts.html very useful site for that stuff.

If you aren't pregnant, having sore breasts is a common after-ovulation symptom. The days between ovulation and the first day of the period is called luteal phase. Every woman's is different but they generally last 12-14 days. So if your period is due in 10 days, did you guys have sex 2 to 6 days ago? Sperm can live up to 5 days inside you.

BTW, people who use the pull-out method are called parents Wink

It is NOT a very "safe" way to avoid pregnancy. Condoms are cheap and easy and some are fairly thin.
If you continue with this mode of birthcontrol, keep a calendar where you mark your period (day 1 is first day of full flow, not just spotting) and mark the days you have sex. That way you can count the days and give yourself a bit time before worrying.

Also, hormones need time to readjust. Lets hope it's that. Do another pregnancy test in 11 days if your period hasn't come. I'd tell you not to worry, but you will Wink

I wish you luck!

Lavagirl's information does not seem to have much research (in regards to pulling out).
Pulling out is actually an EFFECTIVE WAY to prevent pregnancy as long as it is preformed correctly. Pre-Cum generally tends to have VERRY LITTLE viable sperm in it, and the only way it could possibly have a considerable amount is if your partner has ejaculated directly prior to unprotected intercourse. If your partner does ejaculate prior to unprotected intercourse he is to thoroughly clean himself, and urinate.
It is best to pull out a couple of minute prior to male ejaculation, and to deal with it in a different manner, such as having him cum on your stomach, blowjob, etc. Or not at all. Whatever you and your partner choose.

While I'm not advocating unprotected sex using the pull out method, many people have used it with great success. The prevention rate is in the 90% range, along with Condoms, and birth control. It does not protect agains ANY STDs or HIV, however.

you definatly CAN get pregnant using the "pull out method" i used to think that it was really hard to get pregnant that way. me & my fiance have been using the pull out method for a little over 2 years now, everything has always worked out fine until one day it failed & i became pregnant. so it still can happen. it might just take a little while that is if you do it correctly.

Well I don't know what education you have, But I have a six year old to prove you wrong. I was a vergin and my ex did not cum. I know that she is not here because of immaculate conception. So do some research before you give anybody advise.

To everyone on the Pre-cum topic...

Pre-cum itself has NO sperm in it - AT ALL. It is only seminal fluids from the prostate, as well as a few other sources, but NOT the testicles, and thus, free of sperm.

HOWEVER.
That is ASSUMING that the person did not previously cum. If you cum and do not urinate, then the next bit of pre-cum will pull sperm with it - Urine, which is acidic, literally burns sperm to death, which is why it's important to go to the bathroom after reaching climax.

THAT is the only way to get pregnant from pre-cum.
If your boyfriend, husband, or fiancé got you pregnant using the pullout method, AND urinated after his previous orgasm/didn't orgasm at all, then it's still more probable that you got pregnant through transference of semen via your hands.

Pre-cum by itself does not contain the means to impregnate, it only contains the means to protect sperm from the females own bodily defenses.

It's just easier to use a condom for the peace of mind, in my opinion, but pre-marital sex isn't something you should take lightly in any case.
