Pre cum on the condom

[Samwan]

Hi,
I’m not sure if this has been discussed before but recently my girlfriend and I had sex during her fertile window. We used protection but in one of those sessions I had the condom on backward and flipped it before intercourse. I’m sure some pre cum went on it and I tried to wipe it down. I pulled out before ejaculation and made sure the condom did not leak. My worry is the chances of her getting pregnant because of the pre cum. If this has been discussed before, my apologies. I’m too distracted to look it up. She says e pill messes up her hormones so she doesn’t take them. Should I be worried?

Hi there, Samwan, welcome to the boards!

To be honest, you are probably okay, but it isn't a super straightforward answer. Without knowing how long passed between the precum getting on the inside of the condom, you flipping it over, and starting intercourse, I can't confidently tell you there's no risk. If it all happened super quickly, there could be a low risk, especially since she was in her fertile window. However, if there was some minutes between these things, the risk is significantly lower to none, because sperm cells don't survive long outside the right environment (and a condom is not the right environment). Do you remember if this happened back to back within, say, a minute? Or was there a few minutes between you taking it off and starting intercourse?
