Can a girl really get pregnant if she's still a virgin and there wasn't full penetration? Like, if there was just rubbing with some precum involved, is pregnancy still possible? I'm just trying to understand how risky it is, and how worried we should be about pregnancy in this kind of situation.

Yes, it is possible for pregnancy to occur even without full penetration if sperm from precum comes into contact with the vagina. Though the risk is lower, its still a possibility, so using contraception is important to prevent unintended pregnancies.

Question

I'm really worried about my friend. She's been having vaginal bleeding after intercourse for the last two days, and I don't know how to help her. Do you know what could be causing this or if there's any medicine that can help stop the bleeding? It's urgent, so any advice would be great.

Question

I recently found out that my periods are delayed by about 8 days, so I ended up taking a beta hCG test. The results showed a really low beta hCG level, and it indicates less than 4 weeks of pregnancy with a value of 242.9 mIUml. I'm concernedis having a low hCG level at this point something that could lead to a miscarriage? I'm not sure what to think and would love to know if this is something I should be worried about.
