How effective is the pull out method?

I just finished breastfeeding and haven't gotten my period yet.  My hubby insists that the pull out method is safe...I do not agree.  Anyway, I stopped breastfeeding about a month ago and have not gotten my period so I was wondering how effective the pull out method is...should I be worrying?

Hey, i had sex with my girlfriend recently with a condom and pulled out before ejaculation, only to find a hole in the side of the condom. It is about a week after and she says she has tender breasts, but these are also a sign of her period. What do you think? What are the odds of her being pregnant?

Hey everyone.
My name is hope,I'm 17. I know I'm too young:( but
I really need some advice, me and this guy had sex about two days ago and we use the pull out method. But I really honestly don't remember if he pulled out enough time to masturbate before he cam. But wen he pulled out he cam right then it seemed like it.
I'm worried tht I'm pregnant://

It's I mostly about the man being honest and having self Control. If a person thinks a tiny speck of left over pree *** gets them pregnant then they are denying the real fact that your man left it in to long and got a actual shot off before pulling out. I used it with my wife for years. I know myself and body well and have great self control and can make myself hold or fire at will. One time we were really having a good time and I got wrapped up in the romance of the moment and just said to heck with it I want to be inside the woman I love. That one time just that one after several years gave us our first son. So it depends on the man. And I do not prematurely shoot off. Although I do now want to get fixed after two kids due to the I think intamacy that's missed out on with this method. I love my wife and I want to be inside her as long as possible when we have sex and keep it there and lay on her and hug her and it's romantic that way for me.
