withdraw method

I had sex 10 days after the start of a womans period.  I withdrew properly.  The next morning we had sex again. I didnt urinate between encounters. Withdrew again.  What do you think the odds are with 2 encounters.  The withddraw method has a typical failure rate of 17% of the course of a year. But thats for couples that have regular sex all year long. I had sex twice.   Only 25% of people get pregnant the first month if they are trying, 17%of withdraw failure divided by lets say 12 months because 17% is for entire 12 cycles and im dealing with one So what about these odds  25% multiplied by 17% =4.2% divided by 12 cycles= .35%  or about 1 in 300 chance of conception from what i described.  Im just curious if any one  could agree with probability.

If you with drawl you still have a 19% chance of getting her pregnant. Oh and my therapist just told me today that if you have sex within 10 days after you have your period then it is a much higher risk of getting pregnant. Sorry

ohhhh and you do know that you're little swimmers (even in the pre ejaculate) can survive up to i do believe it's 5 days once inside right? so they are VERY determined to reach that egg that they'll hang around and WAIT for the ovulation. everybody is right...when it comes to calculating a womans body and pregnancy...you can't. we are not mathematical equations....and cannot simply be "solved".

my dh and i got pregnant within our first month of ttc and the pull out method is like shooting at the broad side of a barn. chances are....you're gonna hit. so whether or not you're trying that doesn't matter. as BTS said there is plenty of sperm in pre ejaculate to impregnante a woman and if it's 10 days past her af....she's probably either getting ready to or is ovulating. so you picked the WRONG time to have unprotected sex. IF she's not pregnant i really really really highly suggest you invest in some trojan condoms. family pack is $10 at wal mart. that's a lot cheaper then having a baby.
