Q: the Pull Out Method

asked by: vanessalouanne on June 7th, 2005

H I everyone. I am 19 years old, and happily married. My husband and I are not trying to get pregnant, neither are we very careful not to. I would love to have a baby. I pretty much raised my neice so I know what I am getting myself into and we have a house and are finacially sound so if it happened i'd be thrilled. Hubby on the other hand doesn't mind waiting a few years but always says if it happens then it would be great. We just haven't offically started trying yet. Anyways my question is how likely am I to get pregnant with the pull out method? I know its not a form of birth control and that it is easy to get pregnant with it but my question is how easy? Say having sex at least once a day with him just pulling out at the last minute? Any response would be appreciated
thanks

I've been using the pull out method with the guy i've been seeing for the last 6 months now and I haven't gotten pg, although there have been a couple scares once just recently but thats because he didn't pull out :roll: there seems to be quite a bit of debate when it comes to this, some saying that its pretty high risk while others just say that theres a slight chance, but of course it is possible to get pg using this method i'm not sure what the percentage of a risk it would be though. Good luck.

Yeah my husband and I have been doing it for like 6 months as well and we've also had a couple of a scares but still never pregnant. I mean my doctor tells me you can get pregnant I just have never personally heard of anyone actually conceving.. Has anyone either gotton pregnant or personally known someone who has?

My son is due in 2 weeks and I don;t know if it was the pull out method or hubby coming in me. Pull out's not foolproof but I am allergic to latex and ended up pregnant on the pill twice as a teen (i miscarried both times) hubby and I had been using the pull-out method on and off for about 3 1/2yrs when I got pregnant.

I belong to another forum and 2 of the girls there are preggo from the pull out method (well one just had her baby last week)

you can get pregnant from pre-come.

If you don't want to get pregnant don';t use that method unless there is a medical reason it's the only one. Ie: allergies!!!! Lol

for being as well informed as you seem to think you are, you apparently are unaware of polyurethane condoms, which are made for people who are allergic to latex.

allergies are no excuse. Any pharmacist, doctor, or intelligent person would tell you to go for poly condoms.

you think I didn't look? I went to about 15 diff pharmacies and none of them carried them. Maybe they are more common in the states.

Also I am a grown woman with a husband, great job and home, getting pregnant was not a concern to me!

Ease up honey are you frustrated or something. You are not to come on this forum and put people down. We don't put up with any attitude.
Lil-blaze should not be too much of a concern for you. So back off.......

Back off?
Am I supposed to find e-threats scary? I've had this happen before. And, with the exception of having accounts deleted on various forums, there is no value to threatening me. In general, people that feel the need to threaten others over the internet are undereducated, intimidated, and are motivated by the need to feel macho.

It's really quite lame.

You feel that I threatenin you that means you must feel threatened. All that we ask as a forum is that you don't bring your drama to the floor.

lmao ya I really want to order condoms from the net. Safe. And living in canada, why would I want to pay us$ to order shyt off the net. No thanx! As a teen I was on the pill and actually the first time getting pregnant I was on the pill and using a condom. After that I went on depo but after 2 yrs with no period decided to get off it.

This time I was trying to get pregnant so why should my husband and I use condoms? My son is extremelly wanted.

Anyhoo is there a reason you are up my a$$ all the time? I hope they do ban your ip addy from here you're nothing but a cruel little child. Go do something. It's a friday night. I have an excuse as I could go into labour anyday so am staying home. And I didn't see anyone threatning you. And to take some of your words "in general, people that feel the need to be a b*tch over the internet are undereducated, intimidated, and are motivated by the need to feel macho oh and they are not face to face.

no, I have a reading comprehension level surpassing the third grade and know what "back off" means.

it is, if you aren't a person. I'm sure having unprotected sex is safer though, right?

cheaper than child rearing? More pleasant than sti treatment?

really? I thought you were allergic to condoms? And couldn't get hypo-allergenic?

what was your excuse the first two times?

It takes less than five seconds.

so your excuse for being on the internet is somehow more legitimate than mine?
Want to know why i'm online?
My little brother had jaw surgery less than a week ago and has to be fed by syringe every four hours. I'm babysitting a kid I know for a few days as well. He's asleep.
I'd love for you to explain why the fact that you might be going into labor means you have more of a right to be posting on a board than I do. Hypocrisy? Hell yes.

and yet only one of the two of us has been impregnated three times due to a complete lack of knowledge? You can be ignorant, just don't bring a lot of unwanted children into the world because of it.

i'm a 19-year-old without bags under my eyes. Or a nearly useless degree. Criminal justice? Masters? Didn't get into law school?

I love it when offended internet people make themselves feel better by demonizing me. They think that if they type something out, i'll go away or something.

According to people on the internet, I am:
*sadistic
*middle-aged
*pre-teen
*belligerent
*angry
*male
*female in prison
*skanky gay woman
*the spawn of satan
*crazy conservative
*cowardly liberal

etc.

Unless the pretend life you make up for me is creative, i'm not going to find it amusing or motivating.

My 19-year-old ass doesn't feel the necessity to make friends over the internet. That's what the real world is for.

Gee, do you want to be my friend? Maybe we can have an e-picnic!

Gay.
