pre-ejaculate

Out of curiousity, how many of you all actually had success from the withdrawal method? There are so many individuals who have gotten pregnant from it, but scientific evidence shows that there is no actual sperm in it since it comes from the Cowpers gland, however from prior ejaculation there could be a little left over that will cause pregnancy. Many people say there's more sperm in pre ejaculate than sperm. That's not true! This is a big debate, and it just makes me wonder how powerful pre ejaculate really is?!

My husband and I use the Pull out method for 6 years. Never fail us. I got pregnant a few months after we stop, and within a month or so after we serious thinking about getting pregnant. We haven't even start counting my cycle yet when I start getting morning sickness. We were lucky for it to happen right when we wanted it :)

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and we used the pull out method but we are very fertile together also. I dont know if that matters or not.

It maybe depends on the women as well.. maybe the more fertile they are the more likely it is for them.. who knows I guess there will never be a for sure answer except to just not do it to be on the safe side

I'm pregnant from it!!!  And it was 4 sure all pre ejaculate because my bd finished with a condom on and it didn't break.  So it's definitely possible, my LO is proof (; hah

Yea its crazy how so many people get pregnant so easily and weren't even trying to yet others who try for so long don't! From research that uve done in the past, they say with proper use it has a 4% failure rate and with improper use (meaning not pulling out in time and having sex again after ejaculating prior to) has a 19% failure rate. But it just amazes me how many women got pregnant from it ..

Y did it take me a whole year to get pregnant with my first kid when we didnt use any birth control at all. It takes some people for ever to get pregnant and some can get pregnant there very first time of having sex.

I never got pregnant while using that method (luckily because if I did I'd be screwed because my ex's are douchebags lol). I got lucky, but I have heard tons of stories about how people got pregnant by it. I wonder what the statistics would look like though. I'm going to try to find out and I'll let everyone know if I find anything about it. I didn't use the pull out method with my current Fiance, and I am now 40 weeks and 1 day :)

I've never personally met anyone pregnant from it but there is so many people online and on these sites that have . I'm just wondering why out of the 6 years I've ben sexually active and when a condom wasn't used, and he didn't finish, why I'm just now pregnant. ( and this time he finished) . Lol I guess god just didn't want me pregnant those times lol

My husband and I used the w/d "method" for two years with success, but I tracked my cycles very, very closely.
We had one "oops" happen and I got pregnant with our son, but it wasn't from pre-ejaculate.
