What are my chances of getting pregnant from the Withdrawal Method?

My boyfriend an i had unprotected sex last night and used the withdrawal method. We always use condoms when we have sex, but he also always pulls out when he feels he is close to ejaculating, even in condoms, and hes gotten really good at it and is aware of when he's close. He used the bathroom before we had sex, so i think there's less of a chance of there being sperm in his pre-ejaculatory fluid. He was only in for a few minutes and pulled out and a second after he pulled out said he felt like he was close and a few seconds later ejaculated, but no where near me, so i trust that he pulled out on time. I also went into the bathroom right after that and wiped down there. I have my period every 1-2 of every month (I've had regular periods since last year), so I'm expecting mine in 2-3 days. What are my chances of getting pregnant? I'm too afraid to ask my parents to get Plan B and I'm really scared!

I agree with Clysta. Urination does NOT prevent pregnancy. Sperm is always present in pre ejaculatory fluid. I know tons of women who have ended up pregnant because "he pulled out in time."

Actually, you're not completely right. Urination doesn't prevent pregnancy and pulling out is NOT birth control. So you have the same odds as anyone else. I know a great many women who have become pregnant from this method because they were foolish enough to trust it. Pre-ejaculatory fluid is always secreted when a male is aroused, and he doesn't feel when this is secreted. Wait to see if you get your period, and/or take a pregnancy test in two weeks if you don't. If you don't want to become pregnant, start using condoms again from start to finish or you WILL end up pregnant.
