withdrawal method and pregnancy

[D's mom]

hello iam new here, i used my best friends sign in name to post my question. my lil cousin resently started having sex and isnt on b-control yet.they have been using the withdrawal method. During intercousre her BF would feel like orgasming but he would stop and pull out,and continue intercousre. she said some would leak out and he would wipe if off the head (sorry tmi) and put it back in, he did this until he came fully onyl he pulled out. What are her chances of conceiving this way? i know....i took her today to get BC....but we wanted to make sure we dont have a lil one on the way yet before she starts. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!

According to one Planned Parenthood Statistic the pull out method is 70-90% effective as a form of birth control.  She needs to have a pregnancy test.  The most accurate type of test is a blood test, which is accurate within ten days of intercourse.

This the most unreliable form of BC. I would advise condom (good against std's) or the pill.

The withdrawl method is great if you want to end up with a baby!

Sperm IS present in pre-ejaculatory fluid. All it takes is one.

Wow!  I would definetely have her get a blood test before starting the pill.  Even if he is "pulling out" and wiping the semen off his head there are still thousands of spermies on it.  So there is a good chance she could be pregnant.  Not only does she need to be on BC but she also needs to have him wear a condom to be extra safe and to protect against STDs.

spot on

I'm 27 weeks pregnant from the pull out method and we are older and use it correctly. :)

[sparkypuss]

Congrats. Have you learnt your lesson? LOL

[stillwaiting]

Yall are tooo funny!  My ds is a product of the pull out method. I knew better too. I must not have done it correctly  either though. AAahhhhAAa

Not a good method of birth control a friend of mine used that method and was devasted to find out she got pregnant well no wonder. The pill and condoms together are the safest way as condoms can break on their own. Good luck:)

[jgirl34]

LOL...Yes!!! She wasn't planned for another 5 years but hey she's here sooner, not a problem or anything it was a very pleasant surprise but yes after three years of using that birth contorl thinking we were safe I know better now! My tubes will be getting tied after this one anyhow lol!

[myproblem]

The "withdrawl method" is not a method at all. There are a lot of people walking around that were conceived by this "method. If she insists on being sexually active, she needs some birth control... FAST!
does she really think that she won't get pg this way? And what about STD's? Her BF has probab;y been around the block a time or two. Somebody needs to have a straight talk with her.

This upsets me so much. I just had this conversations with my sister not a month ago. She thinks because she is on bcp, she cant get pg. Well I told her straight up all the stories of women and girls who have gotten pg from the "promise" of the pill and pulling out. She has told me before that if she did get pg she probably woundnt keep it because she is in school and works a full time job. She is 20 years old and feels she isnt ready for a child. I asked her why then was she playing Russian Roullette?!?! If you are not ready for a child, be responsible and take action to prevent it from happening. Sure, bcp is a help, but by themselves...not a gaurantee. It just makes me so mad. Especially since she has seen how much my DH and I have been through wanting a child and losing one. If she is old enough to have sex, she needs to be responsible enough to act appropriately. Good luck. It is difficult getting through to someone who doesnt want to listen, or who thinks bcp are enough....I wish you the best

We didn't "ALL" do those things when we were younger. We were just trying to answer your question. I doubt anyone intended offense.

[D's mom]

well thank you all for your comments. for some who judged, we were all young once and did silly things. At least she is seeking advice and is doing something about it. She trusts someone who told her the WD Method worked before coming to me. Thank you. good bye.

hi i am new here. i just wanted ask this i know you can get pregnant from withdrawl cause that is what we use. i need to know if this sounds weird to you. i had sex the morning of period i only bled medium for 2 days then just stopped all of a sudden then had sex again and then the next day i just spotted to light bled for a few hours then stopped again and had sex again the next morning and of course when ovulation was taking place so i have a pretty good chance of being pregnant. we want a baby now or later don't matter whatever happens happens
