i know the question sounds lame, and some people have been nice enough to point me in that direction. the reason for the question is because i have been trying to get pregnant, without wanting to get pregnant (sort of like a double negative). trying to get pregnant, but not wanting to get pregnant. i hope this additional information helps.

Not true. Pulling out, also known as withdrawal, means that a man pulls his penis out of the vagina before he "comes" to keep sperm from joining egg. It is only 81 percent-96 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. Pregnancy can happen even if the guy pulls out, if he doesn't ejaculate, or doesn't put his penis all the way in. Here's why: when a guy gets aroused, he produces a fluid called pre-ejaculate ("pre-***"), which can contain sperm - particularly if he's had sex or masturbated earlier in the last couple of days. When the fluid leaks from the penis before a guy comes, it can cause pregnancy.

Yes, you could. Many small amounts of secretions happen before the final ejaculations, known as pre-ejaculations. These secretions can contain sperm from previous ejaculations.
What are the chances? There are too many factors involved for anyone to accurately answer that. So my question to you would be, is it worth taking the risk when you're not trying to become pregnant when you could simply use other precautions to avoid this? Better yet, not have sex at all until you're married? Just a thought.

There is sperm present even before...the event, and you can definately get pregnant. Get some birth control if you want to avoid pregnancy and use condoms even if you both think that you are std free.
Some interestings stats: If you've had sex with more than one person in your entire life, you have a 20% probability of having herpes II. 1 out of 5 people have herpes II, but only 1 in 5 who have it know that they have it. I'm talking about all adult americans between 14 and 74. So, if you have 100 adult americans in a room, 20 of them have herpes ll, but only four of them know it. And this is just addressing herpes. Best wishes.

My husband and I did that for 6 months when we first got married. Nothing happened, didn't get pregnant, didn't WANT to get pregnant. I did go on the pill after 6 months because it was kind of frustrating that he had to pull out every time so, I thought that maybe either him or I were not able to have babies because there were some times in where I swear I thought he had done in inside and he had not pulled out on time!! But I never got pregnant. 6.5 years later I quit my pill to have a baby and got pregnant right away so I know that method did work for us, but I hope it works for you too.

I am honestly not trying to be rude here, mainly just curious, Do they not teach Sex Education in Health class any longer? I assumed that would be a mandatory subject everyone has to take....?? As a matter of fact, you can also become pregnant even without actual intercourse. Example: If the penis rubs between the legs at the opening of the vagina without actual penetration, You can still become pregnant.

the chances are the same as if he didnt pull out because no matter what you and he think he will leave some nice strong sperm behind! around 1in 5 chance of pregnancy but if you do the deed within 4 days of ovulating around 1 in 1!
use some birth control or expect a birth!

You would have to have 100% trust in your partner that he is going to pull out at the right time before ejaculation....It is very risky and foolish of you to take such risk.....Why havent you been using other forms of contraception, there are so many on the market right now....If think you need to speak to someone, even your GP and find the right contraception for you and dont risk falling pregnant and changing your life forever....

Any time you have unprotected sex you take the chance of getting pregnant. You can get pregnant from the
pre-c*m too. You should always wear protection if you don't want to get pregnant. Even "wearing" protection you can still get pregnant. The only time you can't get pregnant is when you don't do the naughty.

Where there is ejaculation, there is pre-***. Semen is present in both. There is always a chance of semen being released when intercourse is taking place. If you really don't want to get pregnant, either use a condom, or get on birth control. Otherwise, you're taking that hefty risk.

Yes. I did.
The pull out meathod is only 80% effective at preventing pregnancy, and thats when its used by a man whos really good at is, never slips up, and washes himself well before sex, and is circumsized.
Dont make babies you dont want. Try real birth control, such as condoms or the pill. Its not rocket science. but raising a kid is.
