and totally hypothetical...if a man has "relations" with a woman twice in the course of a month and one time he uses protection and the other time he pulls out...give me the statistic that he would have gotten her pregnant....
yes I know it only takes one time but what are we talking 10% chance....20%....just looking for opinions...

Let me add that the average couple takes 6 months to conceive without protection....based on that give me the statistic...

Statistically one incidence of completely unprotected sex causes pregnant 8% of the time.
"Plan B reduces the risk of pregnancy following a single act of unprotected sex from about 8% down to 1%."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_contraception#Effectiveness_of_ECPs
However using the withdrawal method -when you follow the rules is far more effective than most people think. It has a failure rate of 10-20% PER YEAR, so that means 10-20 women will get pregnant each year using only withdrawal. Condoms have a typical use failure rate of 10-18%.
So I would say given the info you have provided IF the rules of withdrawal were followed the statistical chance of pregnancy should be less than 1.6% (20% failure rate per year / 12 months)

How well does it work in preventing pregnancy?
* IF
* before penetration a man who has recently ejaculated urinates to get rid of any left over sperm.
* the tip of the penis is wiped dry of lubricating fluid before penetration
* the penis IS withdrawn BEFORE ejaculation
* ejaculation occurs outside the vagina and well away from the vaginal opening
* THEN
* withdrawal has an approximately 80-90% effectiveness rate, or better.
* BUT
* control is difficult. This last minute method is risky. It offers NO protection from sexually transmitted infections, including HIV; even the pre-ejaculate fluid can contain infection along with sperm

First off a woman only ovulates 5 days out of the month, therefore she only has a 15% chance of getting pregnant in the first place with no protection. The pull out method is only about 40% chance of getting pregnant... at most. So you do the math...
The risk is very low..
But I still wouldn't recommend the pullout method as a safe form of birth control.

The odds of getting pregnant in a given month, by age:
early 20s: up to 25 percent
late 20s and early 30s: up to 15 percent
late 30s: up to 10 percent

It just depends on when those "relations" occured - was it around the time of ovulation? Was it after ovulation (in which case it would probably be 0%).

It is either 100% or 0%

5% - That's just my opinion.
