Pulling Out Method And Birth Control Posted: 05-21-07 16:28pm
ok so i've just started birth control this
month and i always tend to forget to take
it at the right time so im usually always
a few hours off. Well. me and my boyfriend
used the pulling out method today for the
first time and im extremely scared that i
might be pregnant now. i even took a
shower right after and like cleaned my
self out. what do you think i should do?

It's possible. The pull out method is not
a reliable form of birth control. Neither
is taking a shower. Also, even with
perfect use, the pill is not 100%
effective, so pregnancy is always a
possibility every time you have sex.
If you tend to be late with your pills a
lot, then you should look into a backup
method such as condoms or spermicide, or
set an alarm to remind you to take your
pill at the same time.
However, I would not panic about today
unless you have been taking your pills
more than six hours late or if you have
been forgetting some days altogether.
Just be careful in the future.

ok.. i mean we did oral before we had sex
and i think he already pre-cum and he
pulled out way before he was actually
about to cum so we could do other things..
but i just get paranoid

Have you thought about getting on a type
of birth control that you don't ahve to
take every day, like the patch or the
ring? They are wonderful, and you only
have to deal with them once a week or once
a month.
The pull out method is not effective
because pre-cum can have sperm in it, but
it sounds like you already know that.
Showering doesn't help because once sperm
gets through your cervix it won't run out.
It is helpful to keep condoms around for
when you are off with your pills. If you
are ever concerned that you haven't taken
your pills well, just use condoms for a
week.
I would suggest telling your doc that you
have a hard time remembering to take the
pill at the same time, and get her to
switch you to something easier to
remember. There are easier options!!
