Very Very LOW Chances of Pregnancy in this situation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

The chances of pregnancy from precum are less than 5%. But the failure rate of withdrawal method without the use of any contraceptive is 30%. The chances of pregnancy are there and it cannot be ruled out. A pregnancy test can be done if your cycles are irregular or you really want to be sure.

Wishing you good health.

I'm sorry just one more thing if this is true why does pulling out have a 30%failure rate?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (36 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Can be due to late withdrawal.

Detailed Answer:
Higher failure rate can be due to repeated ejaculations in which precum has more sperms or due to late withdrawal.
