So, Really, What are the Chances?
My boyfriend and I had sex but he pulled out and there was very little sperm. He said that he wasn't done so he put it back in. I was wondering what are the chances I will become pregnant if I am not on the pill and if I was on the pill. Thank you.askaquestion | age 19 | October 12, 2009

Okay, before I even answer your question I'd just like to state two things. Sperm are the little guys that fertilize the egg. You cannot see them with the naked eye. Semen is everything - the protein, the sperm, and the nutrients. So when you say there was very little sperm, you really mean very little semen.
This "very little" amount of semen may just be what we know as "pre-cum" which can have sperm in it... and can get you pregnant if you're not using any form of birth control. The fact that he put it back in because he wasn't done is what leads me to believe it was some pre-cum you noticed... and you need to be more careful with that. You didn't say if you were using a condom, so I can't tell you what the chances of you being pregnant are right now, so I'm just going to assume you weren't using one. If you're not using a condom and his penis is inside you at all, and you're not on the pill - there is a chance you could be pregnant. If you had been on the pill and regularly taking it, the chance is very slim (less than 1%).
