Doctor~~~~ I have a question~~~~ I had sexual intercourse with my girlfriend~~~~ I did not ejaculate inside her~~~~ but.......
she has not had her period for nearly half a month~~~~~~~ Is there a possibility of pregnancy? Is it possible that a little pre-ejaculate fluid was released during the process? Is buying a pregnancy test accurate? If I buy two tests, use one now and then use the other one next week, and both show negative, can I consider that she is not pregnant????? I kindly ask for your medical advice~~~~ Thank you.

Hello, for a young woman with a regular menstrual cycle, if she has had unprotected sexual intercourse and her period is late, there is a possibility of pregnancy.
The withdrawal method (commonly known as coitus interruptus) is the least reliable form of contraception, as pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm.
If your girlfriend's period is late by more than a week, it is advisable to take a pregnancy test.

When it comes to the question of whether one can get pregnant without ejaculation, it's important to understand the mechanics of conception and the associated risks. Even if ejaculation does not occur inside the vagina, pregnancy can still happen due to the presence of pre-ejaculatory fluid, commonly known as pre-cum. This fluid can contain sperm, albeit in smaller quantities than ejaculate, and if it comes into contact with the vaginal canal, there is a potential risk of pregnancy.

In your case, since your girlfriend has missed her period for nearly a month, it is advisable to take a pregnancy test. Home pregnancy tests are generally reliable and can detect the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which is produced shortly after a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. For the most accurate results, it is recommended to take the test after a missed period, as this allows enough time for hCG levels to rise to detectable levels.

If you choose to take two tests, it is a good strategy to wait a week between tests. If both tests return negative results, it is likely that your girlfriend is not pregnant. However, if she continues to experience symptoms such as missed periods, nausea, or breast tenderness, it would be wise to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
Additionally, it's important to consider the possibility of other factors that could cause a missed period, such as stress, hormonal imbalances, or changes in weight or lifestyle. These factors can also affect menstrual cycles and should be taken into account.

In summary, while it is possible to become pregnant without ejaculation due to pre-ejaculatory fluid, the likelihood depends on various factors, including timing in relation to the menstrual cycle and the presence of sperm in the pre-ejaculate. Taking a home pregnancy test is a practical step to determine if pregnancy has occurred, and if there are any uncertainties or ongoing symptoms, seeking medical advice is recommended.
