View allCan someone actually get pregnant if there's no penetration involved but just rubbing a naked penis around the vulva? I've heard that precum could be a factor, so how real is the risk here? I'm kinda worried and curious about how this works.
Yes, it is possible to get pregnant from genital rubbing if precum (pre-ejaculatory fluid) comes into contact with the vaginal area. While the chances are lower compared to direct penetration, sperm in the precum can still lead to pregnancy.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My partner and I had sex, and about 12 hours later, I took an Unwanted 72 pill. But then we had sex again just an hour after I took the pill. Is there a chance I could be pregnant, or should I be considering taking another pill?
Since you took the pill within 12 hours of the first intercourse, it should still be effective. However, it is not recommended to rely on emergency contraception as a regular form of birth control. If you are concerned about pregnancy, you can consider taking another dose of unwanted72 within 72 hours of the second intercourse for added protection. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging.

I'm worried about the side effects of taking birth control pills. How long after taking them can I find out if I'm pregnant?
Common adverse effects of contraceptive pills include nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, weight gain, and increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and high blood pressure; to confirm pregnancy, a home pregnancy test (HPT) can detect hCG hormone levels 7-10 days after conception, with accuracy increasing 2-3 days after a missed period, while a blood test can detect pregnancy 6-8 days after conception.
