i've heard you can get pregnant from "pre cum". how high are the chances of that happening

Getting pregnant from pre seminal fluid (pre cum) in my opinion, is debateable. I say the chance is always there. If you read into the research on this, you will see that it is not impossible. The chances rise if your boyfriend has already cum once and you two decide to have at it again. There is still ejaculate left in the ducts from the first time. This will increase your chances of getting pregnant.
Are you a virgin? I can't tell by your post. You won't be pregnant if you are.
May i suggest you get on some birth control. You can go to your local planned parenthood and they will examine you and get you started on the birth control that will suit you. It is confidential and they will work with you financially.

It is great that you are smart enough to realize that you still have school and don't want to make a mistake. This is why i suggested the birth control. Sometimes we can get carried away and we just don't stop. Then we have a problem.

thanks for your advice. my only concern with birth control is the fact that my parents have to be notified since i am under 18. i've purchased plan b (the morning after pill) just incase i really scare myself, but you don't have to be of age to purchase it. i think parents don't give us enough credit even though we're being responsible about this, and i would hate for my mom and dad to think differently of me because of it.

Just to ease your mind and give you food for thought. You do not need your parents permission. (DO NOT).
There is a law called HIPA. This law enables people (children) (teens) to go to the Doctor with any kind of medical issue. The Doctor is NOT ALLOWED to disclose any medical information at all to anyone unless the patient signs a consent for a particular person to have access to the patients medical information. i.e. mom, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend, sister etc....
In other words, you can be free to go to your Doctor or Planned Parenthood with no discomfort of thinking that your Md has to call mom to get her ok to treat you or in your case, to get on some birth control.

Look in the phone book in your area and contact your local planned parenthood. They will make you an appointment, no questions asked. The only thing they may ask of you is to provide an emergency contact. This does not have to be mom. It could be your sister or your boyfriend.

You will go in and get your physical. This consists of a vaginal exam. The first time around is not comfortable but it's ok. The Doctor or Practitioner will then discuss your options regarding your birth control. There are several different kinds. My daughter started on the Orth evra, it's a patch that releases hormones into your body to prevent pregnancy. For you, this may not be the answer, as mon will surely see the patch on your hip when you squat down or bend over. The next best thing i think would be the actual pill itself. She now takes YAZ. One pill at the same time each day and you really don't have to worry. You can carry them in your purse, or if you have a snoopy momma, you can hide them some where in your bedroom. For the longest time, my oldest daughter hid her pills in the garage until the dog found them. And she was just about 18 herself at the time. I am just glad that she had the where with all to get on BC in the first place. I wasn't mad at all. Now we are able to discuss sexual issues at any time. It just made us closer.

Mom and Dad do not have to know anything. You are almost an adult, but i sense that your parents opinions really matter to you, and thats good. But sometimes kids (almost adults) have to do what they dfeel is best. You going on the pill is the right thing to do. It would be a lot worse if you got pregnant, then what the outcome be from mom and dad? You prolly don't even want to think about that one!!

So go ahead and do your thing. They will never have to know unless you tell them yourself.

thanks again. i just really don't want to screw up for my parents. they aren't ready to be grandparents and i'm sure not ready to be a mom. i do appreciate your help.
:-)

please help me i dont know if my gf is pregnant i resently had sex with her and like i pulled out right before i came on her then i just stuck it in again and we kept going is there a chance that she is not pregnant?
please im not ready to be a dad help!!!

If your not ready to be a dad, the chances are always there if you continue to have unprotected sex. Just because you pulled out, came and then began to have intercourse again, there is a HUGH chance of pregnancy. There is a tiny amount of sperm in pre cum, but there is a lot more in it if you have already had an orgasm and continued to have sex.
I would be looking for GF's period to show up, she could very well be pregnant depending on what stage her cycle was in.
I strongly suggest some form of birth control. Why should you take chances if you are not ready to be a dad, according to you? Also, if you had intercourse within the past 5 days, the morning after pill is available to you.

Seriously, use a condom EVERY TIME. If you're freaked out that you're too young to be a parent, then DO something about it and protect yourself and your partner from that experience. And think about what would be worse: Telling your parents you're on the pill or using condoms, or telling your parents you or your girlfriend got pregnant. At least if they know you're using protection, they'll know that you have the maturity to think about things ahead of time.

Hello,

If you are afraid of being pregnant, you should follow this thumb rule. DO NOT have unprotected sex for the period of 8th to 16th day of your periods -- Your 1st day of your period should be marked in your calendar. This way, you will never be pregnant. You could have oral during this time.

Take care...

First of all, I'd like to point out that "We don't know how to do it" is no excuse. If you aren't educated on what to do and haven't explored to vast resources available to you to find out, then you're not responsible enough to be having a sexual relationship. Period.

Secondly, it's very possible to get pregnant from precum, close to 50-50. There's a reason they call pulling out the "Pull-and-Pray" method.

I have yet to see someone say, if you aren't ready to be parents don't have sex. I'm not going to preach about premarital sex being wrong, that would make me a hypocrite. Look...if you feel the need to have sex and masterbation isn't doing it for you, always use a condom. It's way more affordable then a baby.

i would like to ask something. we had sex last Thursday. i am worried that i might get pregnant. unprotected sex i might say. but he didn't excrete the sperm in me. that was my first time :|

Ok this goes without saying. If your in high school you dont belong being/getting pregnant. You are looking to have a very hard road ahead of you. You should be using condoms and/or on the pill. For the guys your dumb if you dont use them. Girls if you dont use them your just as dumb and if the guy says it feels better well your still dumb for letting them do it. Just remember its your body that has to carry the baby for 9 months. What does the guy have to do? Well, get you pregnant and then tell you to breath and push.

If you are still in middle/high school you dont belong getting pregnant. Enjoy your time as a teenager. There is plenty of time to be a responsible adult. I'm a 35 year old married male. My wife and I had our first child together (she had one from a previous marraige) 2.5 years ago. So believe me plenty of time to be a teenager. Get the party bug out of your system before having a child. You will be alot happier if you do.

If you still think you can handle school being uplate at night taking care of a baby. Go to a planned parenthood and see if they can set something up where you have a live babydoll. Take care of it for a week or 2 and see what your life will be for the next 20 years.

I dont want to be a downer in this post but you need to get the party stage out of your system before having a child. If you dont know how to use a condom there is something called instructions on the box. There is all ways GOOGLE.

it is not a good idea to use the plan b option that often, it is not good for your ovaires.
i use birth control, and i believe it's the best way to go.
or at least use condoms.

being uncircumcised doesnt mean he cant use a condom...its the same as putting one on a circumcised person. if you dont know how to put one on research it! honestly, you shouldnt be having sex if you dont know how to have safe sex. trust me, if youre so worried about disappointing your parents STOP HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX!! a baby will definitely disappoint them more than having sex or going on birth control. i asked my mom to get me birth control when i was 16 and im so glad i did. but you NEED to use condoms every time. i know it sucks but even if youre on birth control you can still get prego or a disease. what youre doing is going to get you prego eventually. when i first went on birth control i never used a condom. and big surprise i got prego. i didnt find out till i had a miscarriage during school. a few months later i found out i had hpv/genital warts from the same guy i got prego by. im 19 now and ALWAYS use a condom. pls dont make the same mistakes as i did. learn everything you can about protecting yourself. good luck:)
