Pregnancy

I have not but I would think it's possible.

DH has said that when my BC runs out he wants to start using that 'pull out' method - but I'm completely against it. Two of his friends just got their girlfriends pregnant within a couple months of each other, and I specifically remember them BOTH telling DH a while ago about how they thought they were being sooo careful by pulling out. So obviously it can't be that affective. And because of that I just don't trust it, esp considering (I don't know if this is too much info for ya) the pre-cum. I mean, there's still sperm in that. Not as much as regular, but it's still a small percentage that CAN get you pregnant. So ya never know. I just know that DH & I are soooo far from ready for a baby, so I can't take any chances. It'll either be BC, condoms, or nothing at all (DH did not appreciate that last option I gave him. lol)

Good luck! I really hope everything works out. Let us know when you find out anything.

I personally have never depended on that method - tons of people do get pregnant that way. If you are unsure, take a test - it is definitely possible.
Good luck!

I agree. Pull and Pray is not birth control. Good luck...

I'll be honest...we've used that method ALOT in our 8+ years and I've never been pregnant...BUT scientifically it is very possible that you can get pregnant that way. While men may be able to feel when they are about to cum...there is still a fair amount of sperm in 'pre-cum' that can get a woman pregnant.

What Is Withdrawal?

A man who performs withdrawal will pull his penis out of the vagina before ejaculation — the moment when semen spurts out of his penis. Withdrawal is also known as coitus interruptus and the pull out method.

Withdrawal may be the world's oldest way to practice birth control. About 35 million couples worldwide rely on withdrawal.
How Does Withdrawal Work?

Withdrawal prevents pregnancy by keeping sperm out of the vagina. Pregnancy cannot happen if there is no sperm present.
How Effective Is Withdrawal?

Effectiveness is an important and common concern when choosing a birth control method. Like all birth control methods, the pull out method is much more effective when you do it correctly.

* Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 4 will become pregnant each year if they always do it correctly.
* Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 27 will become pregnant each year if they don't always do it correctly.

Couples who have great self-control, experience, and trust may use the pull out method more effectively. Men who use the pull out method must be able to know when they are reaching the point in sexual excitement when ejaculation can no longer be stopped or postponed. If you cannot predict this moment accurately, withdrawal will not be as effective.

Even if a man pulls out in time, pregnancy can still happen. Some experts believe that pre-ejaculate, or pre-cum, can pick up enough sperm left in the urethra from a previous ejaculation to cause pregnancy. If a man urinates between ejaculations before having sex again, it will help clear the urethra of sperm and may increase the effectiveness of withdrawal.

Pregnancy is also possible if semen or pre-ejaculate is spilled on the vulva.

Keep in mind that the withdrawal method does not protect you from sexually transmitted infections. Use a latex condom or female condom to reduce the risk of infection.

i wouldn't trust it....if you are both capable of bearing children and have no fertility issues its kind of like playing with fire.....i know i wouldn't trust it....i'm on BC and i still make DH pull out
