Had unprotected sex. Should I take pill to avoid pregnancy?
Patient: genital-genital rubbing took place last night with my bf but there was no ejaculatory fluid or penetration that occurred. I was on my prime day of ovulation according to my cycle and I read debates on whether pre-ejaculatory fluid contains motile sperm- however he says this did not happen but it says sometimes guys don t notice...I am pretty paranoid and am debating getting a morning after pill/wondering if it is necessary. Doctor: Hi,Welcome to HCM,Thanks for posting query to this forum,It is unlikely to have pregnancy without penetrative sex but theoretically possible.According to you it occurred near ovulation period hence it is better to be safe than sorry so the morning after pill may be taken if it is with in 48 to 72 hours to avoid any chance of pregnancy.Remember it can cause withdrawal bleeding or irregular cycle you can also consult  a Gynecologist for her expert advice.Remember to practice safe sex as sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies are prevented.Hope this helps.Take care.Good Luck.Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
