is this normal?

My husband and I had our daughter 5 years ago & since then we've had unprotected sex every time using the "pull out method" .... now that we're going in to have another baby I guesa I'm Just curious is the pull out method that good that in 5 years we've never had a surprise?

Thanks this gives me a lot of hope :)
This will be my last child too, and well probably pull out after too, unless I get my tubes tied. I can't take bc because of the health risks.
I can't wait to be pregnant again, my daughter and I are so close & I just can't wait to have another love bug :) she wants a baby sis, id like a boy ... idk ....

It must be. My son is 5 to, have been with his father for ten years all weve ever used is the pull out method. Wen we wanted our first he didnt pull out, got pregas straight away. 5 Years later we decide to have another, again comes inside and im pregnant first try. I dont want antmore kids so i hope it continues to work for us.

Thanks ladies.  I think it just freaked me out when I thought about it, like having sex everyday & never missing a period. Everyone always tells you that won't work, so when it has for so long your like huh.
But were gonna start trying & hopefully its quick & easy...my daughter came from a single accident so...

My sister got pregnant twice using t the first time took 2 years and the second a year. I think it more has to do with not having sex around when you ovulate.

Well just my experience, i have a 13 year old son from my previous marriage. When I met my boyfriend (who is now my husband) we used the pull out method for 3 years, never getting pregnant. When we decided to have a baby, we got pregnant on the first month of trying. And now he is 3:) So it was definitely effective for us! good luck!!
