Birth Control: Can Pre-Ejaculation Fluid Cause Pregnancy?

Yes. Pre-ejaculation fluid may contain sperm, which means that a woman can get pregnant even when ejaculation doesn’t occur within the v**ina. Withdrawal of the man-hood from the v**ina before ejaculation is one of the oldest methods of birth control. It’s free, readily available and has no side effects. Still, withdrawal is unreliable at best — and it offers no protection from sexually transmitted infections. If you’re trying to prevent pregnancy, choose a more reliable type of birth control. If you’re not sure which type of birth control is best for you, ask your doctor to help you understand the options.
