What is the likelihood of pregnancy from external ejaculation?

Hello doctor, on December 26 (the second day of my ovulation period), I had intercourse while using a condom, but it slipped off.
However, the ejaculation occurred outside, and it was about 1-2 minutes after withdrawal.
I had a miscarriage two years ago, and for the past two months, I've been staying up late and often drinking coffee, usually going to bed around 3-4 AM.
Is it easy to get pregnant under these circumstances?

More Info

When it comes to the possibility of pregnancy following a condom failure during intercourse, especially with external ejaculation, there are several factors to consider. First and foremost, it is important to understand that even if ejaculation occurs outside the vagina, there is still a risk of pregnancy. This is due to the presence of pre-ejaculatory fluid (pre-cum), which can contain sperm. If the condom fails and sperm comes into contact with the vaginal area, there is a potential for fertilization to occur.

In your case, since the condom slipped off during intercourse and ejaculation occurred outside, the risk of pregnancy is not negligible. The timing of your intercourse, being just after ovulation, further increases the likelihood of conception. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to five days, and if ovulation occurs shortly after the intercourse, the chances of sperm meeting an egg are heightened.

Regarding your lifestyle factors, such as staying up late and consuming caffeine, these can affect your overall health and potentially your fertility. Chronic sleep deprivation can disrupt hormonal balance and ovulation, while excessive caffeine intake may also have an impact on reproductive health. However, occasional late nights and moderate caffeine consumption are unlikely to be the sole determinants of your ability to conceive.

If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, it is advisable to take a home pregnancy test if your period is late. Additionally, if you are actively trying to conceive or wish to avoid pregnancy, consider discussing contraceptive options with your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance on effective methods to prevent unintended pregnancies and help you understand your fertility better.

In summary, while there is a risk of pregnancy from external ejaculation after a condom failure, the actual likelihood depends on various factors, including the timing of ovulation and individual fertility health. If you have further concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and support.
