The other night my boyfriend and I were having sex. The condom broke, but luckily he hadn't came yet. I know there's the whole pre-ejaculation thing, so what I'm asking is can I still get pregnant off of that? I've been told a whole aray of different things. Some being that yes I can, and some being that no I can't. I just need a straight answer. At the time I was just getting off my period (that just so happened to be two weeks early, so someone told me that I was just ovulating). It'd be really great to get an answer. Thank you.

However, if you stopped right when you realized the condom broke, I think it's highly unlikely that you're pregnant. When you have your period, the egg that was released for fertilization has not been used and so it comes out with blood and all the other mess. Unless you have a very, very short cycle, you have almost zero chance of getting pregnant during and just after your period.
The one twist in this is that your period was two weeks early. Are you on any other forms of birth control that might have caused this? Usually, an egg is released midway through your cycle, so if you get your period every 4 weeks, your peak fertility is about 2 weeks after your period. If you don't become pregnant, the egg and all of the other stuff in the lining of your uterus sloughs off during your period, and you have to wait another week or so after your period to release another egg. I think you probably have a higher chance of being pregnant, since you were in what is normally the "midway point" of your cycle, you may have been having your period while releasing another egg for fertilization.
That being said, it's kind of guesswork, and you're still pretty unlikely to get pregnant off of precum in a broken condom. If it will assuage your mind, get a pregnancy test and take it in about 4 weeks. Most can't tell earlier than that if you are or aren't.
WyzeLizzy answered Tuesday December 8 2009, 11:26 am: it has to be said that YES, you can get pregnant from their pre-ejaculation, as it still carries their little soldiers (sperm).
Considering you just got off your period,there is a that chance you wont get pregnant, as the egg for that month has left the building...However, only 1 concern is that your cycle came 2 weeks early.
Play it safe; get a test in a couple days to check for pregnancy. [ WyzeLizzy's advice column | Ask WyzeLizzy A Question ]
