Pregnancy anxiety
My boyfriend and I had sex using a condom and he pulled out as soon as he ejaculated but there seemed to be some white fluid on the bottom side of his penis at the base of the condom. We checked the shaft and didn’t seem find any semen, is it still possible that some may have leaked out and gotten into my vagina? i’m worried about getting pregnant

Re: Pregnancy anxiety
We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.
Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.
We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family
* * *
Just for the record, it's common to see fluids like that because your own body makes them -- vaginal lubrication, cervical mucus -- and also because additional lube you added or that was on the condom can get kind of whipped up and look like that, too.
* * *
For help dealing with a scare (including what poses a risk and your next steps based on your unique situation), you may use our tool on site built for this purpose: The Pregnancy Panic Companion.
