Can getting pregnant with a torn condom work if we're trying for a baby by cutting the tip with scissors? I have tight foreskin and sex without a condom is painful, so we're using this method but not sure if it's effective. I might need surgery for phimosis but that could take months, and we want to try conceiving this year

I can retract my foreskin past the head by about an inch and a half, but I feel like the frenulum might be stopping it from going back any further. Does this mean I have a tight frenulum?

If you're able to retract your foreskin comfortably past the head but feel that the frenulum is stopping further retraction, it is likely that you have a tight frenulum. If it doesn't cause significant discomfort or other issues, it might not need medical intervention. However, if its causing discomfort or interfering with sexual activity, its a good idea to speak to a urologist who can suggest appropriate treatment options, such as stretching exercises or frenuloplasty.
