Help
Could I be pregnant if we used condoms and withdrawal but there was precum on his stomach and I don't know if it didn't leak to his genitals? Could that cause pregnancy?

Hey there, snowwhitex. Our registration agreement you agreed to when you made accounts here makes clear it's not acceptable for users here to make/use more than one account or to post as more than one person.
If you'd like to keep posting here and get answers, you'll need to pick which of your accounts you want to use and get in touch with us via email and let us know which of them we should shut down permanently. If and when you do that, we can come back to this or other questions from you via this account or your other one.

Re: Help
Thank you for informing us which account to deactivate.
As for your question
We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.
Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.
We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family
For help dealing with a scare (including what poses a risk and your next steps based on your unique situation), you may use our tool on site built for this purpose: The Pregnancy Panic Companion.
