The chances of getting pregnant from precum are relatively low but not impossible. Precum, or pre-ejaculate fluid, is a clear fluid released from the penis during arousal and before ejaculation. While it doesn't typically contain sperm, it's possible for sperm to be present in precum, especially if there was a recent ejaculation. The likelihood of pregnancy from precum depends on various factors, including the timing of ovulation, the use of birth control, and the presence of sperm in the precum. Studies have shown that the withdrawal method, which involves the use of precum, has an estimated 20% chance of conceiving according to the World Health Organization
