You did not by chance save what came out of you, did you? Your GYN can examine it under a microscope and see what is going on.

The withdrawal method is not a reliable form of birth control. There is semen in pre ejaculate, and you could become pregnant from that. Look at the archives on this forum and the others (women's health and pregnancy and birth) for more information.

If you do not want to get pregnant, use the birth control pills or another RELIABLE form of birth control. If you are not in a monogamous relationship (beyond a doubt), condoms should always be used. Remember, you are not just sleeping with him, but sleeping with everyone else he has slept with. If a guy tells you you are his first, assume otherwise.
