The chances of pregnancy from coitus interruptus (pulling out) are unacceptably high. See below.
Seriously - go to the drugstore and buy a box of condoms. It's not that hard.

relatively low actually. why ppl are telling you "high" and "50/50", im not sure.
first off, a girl is only fertile a few days a month plus the 3 days or so sperm survive in there, so thats still less than half the month. then theres the fact that sex during a females fertile period only has about a 25% success rate of pregnancy.
so right there thats low. add on the fact that your "pull out" method perhaps was perfect- tho i doubt it. but in any event, at least there are far far far fewer sperm involved than if you hadnt pulled out. add all that up and if you had to put money on it one way or another, you should be ok.
overall i'd say its not reliable at all, and certainly not responsible. but if you made a bad choice and tried this once or twice, i wouldnt sweat it too much. have her take a home pregnancy test if youre worried. no amount of us telling you yes or no on here will give you the definate answer in your specific case.
just be aware that you are playing with fire and sooner or later youll get burned by this method.

The pull-out method is not reliable. If the girl happens to be in her fertile zone (8 to 16 days after the start of her period) then the chances of her gettting pregnant are just as high as if you actually ejaculated (about 1in 4). Always use a condom if you don't want to get a girl pregnant.

The chances, I'm sure are much higher than you'd like them to be. The "pull out" method is not reliable or safe. Seminal fluid (that is present before ejaculation) contains some sperm.
If her period is late, have her take a home pregnancy test. Be supportive either way!
From now on, use a condom every time to prevent pregnancy and STD's.

Not as good as a Condom would B.
The Withdrawal method is not a Viable form of birth control as it only takes 1 lil escapee 2 do the deed!
Is it really worth a few seconds of pleasure 2 get a girl pregnant?

This questions always pops up on here and as we have all said before you have the same chances of getting a person pregnant if you dont pull out. If you dont want to have children yet than dont have sex nothing is 100 % safe unless you dont have sex.

Pretty good. Most study's have shown it's 50/50 for the pull out method to work as a form of birth control.

Coitus interruptus
Like many methods of birth control, reliable effectiveness is achieved only by correct and consistent use. Observed failure rates of withdrawal vary depending on the population being studied: studies have found actual failure rates of 15-28% per year. In comparison the pill has an actual use failure rate of 8%, while the diaphragm has an actual use failure rate of 16%.
For couples that use withdrawal correctly at every act of intercourse, the failure rate is 4% per year. In comparison the pill has a perfect-use failure rate of 0.3%, while the diaphragm has a perfect use failure rate of 6%.
Used by itself, coitus interruptus is unreliable, because of the difficulty of controlling the process of ejaculation. The primary cause of failure of this method of contraception is the lack of self-control of those using it. Poor timing of the withdrawal can result in semen on the vulva, which can easily migrate into the female reproductive tract.
It has been suggested that the pre-ejaculate ("Cowper's fluid"), fluid emitted by the penis prior to ejaculation, contains spermatozoa (sperm cells), and is easily drawn into the vagina by capillary action. However, several small studies have failed to find any viable sperm in the fluid. While no large conclusive studies have been done, it is now believed the primary cause of method failure is the pre-ejaculate fluid picking up sperm from a previous ejaculation. For this reason, it is recommended that users of withdrawal have the male partner urinate between ejaculations, to clear the urethra of sperm, and wash any ejaculate from objects that might come near the woman's vulva (e.g. hands and his penis).
Bottomline: Wear a condom... always.

It is a 50/50 chance that the girl might get pregnant but the smart thing to do is strap up.

Um, my little "withdrawl" is sitting on the couch right now... seriously!
What you have to understand is that those little guys can sneak out at anytime you're in there! Pulling out doesn't guarantee that you didn't leave some behind who jumped the gun.
The withdrawl method only has a 26% effectiveness rate according to the JAMA. It also doesn't protect you from STD's.
