Pull-Out Method? Pregnant?
I'm 13 months post partum and breast feeding. I still haven't got my cycle back. My husband and I aren't TTC. We had sex July 4, 6, 7, 9, and 11 using only the pull out method. I got a positive OPK on July 8th and 9th. What are the chances that I could have got pregnant?

Thank you for your reply! :) Yes, I completely understand that. I know the pull out method isn't an effective form of birth control. We've discussed actively TTC when my daughter is 2 or 3 years old. It wouldn't be the end of the world if I got pregnant before that time. I was just curious if anyone knew if there was a good chance of pregnancy. I'm secretly hoping I get pregnant by "accident". :)

If your hubby is able to, er, control himself, withdrawal is actually about as effective as using a condom. There's still a chance, but not a large one (just like with condoms). And contrary to popular belief, pre-ejaculatory fluid usually does not contain motile sperm (unless you go at it twice in a row and he does not urinate between). This method gets a bad rap because guys sometimes claim they can do it properly but actually can't, especially young men. We're using it as bc while we wait to start trying, and I'm just like you - I would be absolutely ok with an "oops!" and kinda hoping for it. Unfortunately hubby has no problem controlling himself, so the odds of an oops are very small! Still a chance though... ;-) Fingers crossed for both of us!
