It is possible to get pregnant from precum during ovulation, although the chances are generally low. Precum is a colorless fluid released by the penis during sexual arousal, and it can contain sperm that can fertilize an egg. However, the majority of pre-ejaculate fluid has dead or no sperm at all. The likelihood of pregnancy from precum depends on various factors, including the timing of ovulation, the use of reliable birth control, and the effectiveness of the method used. It is important to note that even if a person is not ovulating, there is still a chance of getting pregnant from precum due to the lifespan of sperm, which can survive in the vagina for up to 5 days. Therefore, it is recommended that couples who are not trying to get pregnant use a condom during penetration to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy.
