Best Answer

No. Male pre-ejaculate can contain sperm and cause pregnancy. If you are concerned about preventing pregnancy I recommend you use other methods (Birth Control pills, condoms, etc) instead of the withdrawl method.

Can you get pregnant if his sperm touches the outside of your vagina?

Very slim. Since the birth control pill, or oral contraceptive is roughly 98% effective, when taken correctly (and that is the important part!), the sperm inside the semen could enter the vagina but there would be so few of them, relative to full penetration, that the chances of one fertilizing the egg and it being implanted in the uterus are almost nil.One might ask why one would use oral contraceptive AND withdrawal together. By the way, withdrawal alone is so ineffective, it is not regarded as a legitimate method of birth control!


Why does missing birth control pills cause bleeding?

When taking birth control pills the bleeding you get each month is withdrawal bleeding and not a "regular" period that comes on its own. So when you miss a few pills the withdrawal from them starts up the bleeding. The steady hormones in the pill keep the uterine lining thin. When you skip the pill for a few days, the pill hormone levels go way down (it takes the body about 24 hrs to eliminate the hormones in one pill). This withdrawal of pill hormones destabilizes the uterine lining and you get spotting/bleeding [thus, the name: withdrawal bleeding].
