Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I am glad you reached out to us with your concern.
Just try to relax, because you are protected from an unwanted pregnancy. Taking a daily dose of oral contraceptive at the same time each day prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation.
Without ovulation and without penetration and ejaculation, you are not a risk for conceiving.
Pre ejaculate fluid itself does not contain sperm. It is not semen. However, if a male has had a prior but recent ejaculation, some sperm can remain in his urethra. Once he urinates, any stowaway sperm is flushed out with the urine.
scaredgirl1234, if you do not start withdrawal bleeding before the end of the week of the inactive pills, contact your gynecologist. Pregnancy is not the concern, but rather a hormonal issue.
