How Effective In the Withdrawal Method?
Posted: 08-25-06 07:26am

Me and my boyfriend have used the withdrawal method on several occassions.

What are the chances of getting pregnant with this method of "contraception"?

Very, very high. Something like 1 in 4 will become pregnant using this method within the first year of using it; i've heard as few as 1 in 10. Still, that is only 4%-10% effective.

It has a large failure rate, I wouldn't even call it a contraceptive because inevitably pre-cum will leak before he pulls out (well before ejaculation) and it only takes one of those little guys to make it happen.
If you don't want to become pregnant make him wear a condom or get on bc

the pullout metheod is no form of contraception.There is pre cum and it can get you pregnant alone.If you do not with to become pregnant you shoudl get on birth control of some sort.Although be careful which birth control you use if you decide to go with the idea.Read up on all forms before you decide cause some can cause you problems in ttc later on.Good luck!

Every time you put that "thing" in ..You take a risk of getting pregnant. There have been lots of women who get pregnant even using some form of contraceptive. I taught my daughter years ago, ask yourself before you have sex with a certain man, do I want to have a baby by this guy?", if the answer is no...........Then sex would most certainly be out of the question. If your're gonna dance, you have to pay the fiddler... I'd much rather take all the precautions I could find, before i'd even think about bringing a child into this world unprepared.................

It's called a penis, no need to shy away from biology.

Sex if for two mature people who can deal with the consequences; whether that is abortion, adoption, or keeping a potential child. Birth control is there in order to make those possibilities less likely; but there is always a chance you may have to someday make that choice.

Please, please... If you are going to have sex, get protection; I can't stress that enough. Proper protection can prevent a world of stress and worry.

I am one of those women who recently got pregnant using the "pull out" method. I have a perfect 28 day cycle. I thought that there was only a certain time period you were likely to become pregnant. So we shyed away from these times and used the pull out method the rest of the time. I can tell you from testimony that it doesn't always work. I became pregnant in a time when we could not afford it and after we were past the point of wanting more children, as we already have one that was all we had planned on. He was even scheduled for his vasectomy on sept 1st, that is how sure we were that we didn't want anymore. If you do not want to be put into a position to make a life altering decision, please do not rely on this method as a form of contraception. There are so many other options available, and many of them that wouldn't cause any measurable interruption to your life, like the patch, that you change once a week and that I have started back on until the end of the year when they say the vasectomy should be reliable. Good luck and I hope you make a safe choice!!!
