Stupid question but I gotta know

Ok so I have decided after trying multiple birth control types since Julian was born and having many problemsthat I dont want to take it anymore.  My husband insists on using the "Pull out Method" and I am ok with the chances of pregnancy are by usingit! Is it true its really noteffective! I have heard the crude phrase "A basketball player has to dribble the ball before he shoots" but I want to know is that always the case! Thanks ladies

I personally hate BC. I've actually never taken it because I don't want it to mess up my body (I've heard many horror stories, but obviously everyone is different). Natural Family Planning is what we used and works wonderful for us. I'm glad you're trying to find a method that works for you!

I have used bc only a few times in my life, it has always ended up messing up me and my cycles. My DH and I have always used the POM and never once got pregnant. Now I know one woman who used it and is know freaking out because she is pregnant, This is the 3rd oopps she has had you would think she would learn:(  Anyways  for us it has always stopped pregnancy but I have heard its not a safe form of BC unless you want the title of parent:)

Pre-ejaculate does contain *SOME* sperm but definitely not as much as the full on ejaculate. Most men (and women) do not feel the pre-ejaculate. But it only takes one swimmer to reach the egg and make baby, so it definitely isn't effective UNLESS you make sure not to have sex three days before your fertile and three days after.
