How to reduce the chances of getting pregnant - #14157

Hi Shifa See since no ejaculation or precum occurred as you have mentioned inside so there’s no chance of getting a pregnancy. Secondly, taking ipill has hormonal side effects so you didn’t have to take it as no ejaculation has occurred . In simple words don’t worry your pregnancy chances are negligible. However for confirmation please get following tests done for exact diagnosis Pregnancy strip test blood HCG 7-10 days For oral contraceptive pill medication kindly consult gynaecologist in person for better clarification .

Thank you

Hello Shifa,

🛑The risk of pregnancy is zero or low if no ejaculation happened . In your case no penis/ sperm interaction with your vagina. Hence no chance for pregnancy.

If you are anxious, you can do a home urine pregnancy test .

🛑You can take pregnancy test about 10–14 days after sex, or any time your period is more than 7 days late-whichever comes first.

Use early morning urine for the most accurate reading.

If the test is negative but your period still doesn’t start after a week, repeat the test or see a doctor

🛑Emergency pills are effective only when it is taken within 72 hours after sex.

I hope your concern resolved Thank you

It’s important to address the situation you’ve described with care. First, understand that the timing of the intercourse in relation to your menstrual cycle, the absence of ejaculation, and the presence of precum all factor into your risk of pregnancy, although it’s generally lower without ejaculation. That said, precum can contain sperm, though the risk of pregnancy from precum is relatively low. Given your age and situation, using emergency contraception can help reduce the chance of pregnancy if taken within 72 hours — though sooner is better. There’s the Plan B pill or similar alternatives, which are available over-the-counter in many places. However, at your age, it’s crucial to talk to a healthcare professional who can guide you on how to take it properly and discuss any potential side effects. It’s worth noting that changes in your menstrual cycle can be influenced by various factors like stress or hormonal fluctuations, so a delay of a couple of days might not necessarily suggest pregnancy. However, taking a home pregnancy test at least a week after the missed period can help clarify your situation. Going forward, considering longer-term contraceptive options like birth control pills or condoms might be beneficial. These not only help prevent pregnancy but also offer some protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Consult a healthcare provider or a trusted adult for more personalized guidance on regular contraceptive methods. Prioritizing both pregnancy prevention and STI protection is essential for your overall well-being.
