Yes. You could get pregnant this way. The pull out method is far from fool proof. He could not pull out in time....not to mention pre-ejaculate contains some sperm also. It is definitely possible.

Although the "pull -out" method is something that most people feel it a safe bet at birth control, there is definate room for error. My boyfriend and I used the pull out method and I am 19 weeks pregnant now, hah. We could not be more blessed now but, especially if you are ovuating the chances of that "pre-***" or when exactly he pulled out all factor in. I would suggest if end up not being pregnant, get on birth control if you dont like using condoms. Good luck girl.

As a matter of fact i know this can happen cause it happend to me about 16 weeks ago! Me and my husband got pregnant tring the pullout method and i am now almost 17 weeks pregnant!
A mans sperm doesnt come out only when he ejaculates! I asked my doctor about it when i found out we were pregnant and she said its really only about 30% effective! If you really dont want a baby rightnow use the pill or condoms! Nothings fool proof tho i have friends that have gotten pregnant with every kind of birth control out there besides an IUD! Thats the only one so far that i know of that works the best!
Good Luck!

Yes you can get pregnant from using the pull-out method, even more so when you are ovulating.

Not likely but may happen
Pre-ejaculate (also known as pre-ejaculatory fluid or Cowper's fluid, and colloquially as precum) is the clear, colorless, viscous fluid that is issued from the urethra of a man's penis when he is sexually aroused. The fluid is usually secreted by Cowper's glands during arousal, masturbation, foreplay or at an early stage during sex, some time before the man fully reaches orgasm and semen is ejaculated.
Function
Pre-ejaculatory fluid prepares the urethra for the passage of semen by neutralizing acidity due to any residual urine. It also lubricates the movement of the penis and the foreskin over the glans. The amount of fluid that the human male can issue varies widely among individuals, from imperceptible amounts to a copious flow.
Components
There have been no large-scale studies of sperm in pre-ejaculate, but some smaller-scale studies suggest that any sperm present may be ineffectual at causing pregnancy. This may account for the surprisingly low pregnancy rate (approximately 4% per year) among couples that practice perfect use of coitus interruptus.
The same studies have shown the presence of HIV, the virus responsible for the disease AIDS, in pre-ejaculate.

If you want to insure that you eventually get pregnant, keep up the pull out method. There is pre-come that has sperm in it. Get on the pill, get condoms, practice abstinence. But pull out method is a sure fire way of getting pregnant.
This is why we need to:
1. Educate our children fully on sex
2. Have sex ed in school since all parents obviously aren't doing their part.

Yes. It's called pre-ejaculate, which is a fluid that leaks from the tip of his penis before ejaculation, which he can neither feel nor control. it contains sperm, which is why 26% of people using the pull-out method become pregnant each year. If you don't want a baby, use protection.

Yes. Pulling out does not work. You could get pregnant. The fact that you do not know this indicates that you should not be having sex. How is it you know when you are ovulating, but don't know this basic knowledge about sex? Please get educated.

You most certainly could. Even before he penetrates you, he produces a drop or two of a clear-looking fluid, and more of that is produced during the act. It's a good thing; it serves as necessary lubrication. BUT: it also contains large numbers of live sperm, and it only takes one of those to impregnate you. There is one word that describes couples who practice the pull-out method: PARENTS.

The "pull-out method" is a great way to get pregnant. Sperm are released before ejaculation so if you haven't gotten pregnant yet by using this "method" you've been lucky.
