My friend pulled out 4 times and I'm scared I may become pregnant. My period ended days before I had sex. I started back on pills days after sex. Just please help. May I become pregnant?
If so when to test?
Thanks

Yes indeed.
The pull out method is the single worst form of birth control.
Unfortunately you will need to wait until your normal date before you can take a test with any meaning.

Are you still taking your birth control pills? I'm going to suggest that you contact your doctor. He/she will probably tell you to stop taking your birth control pills until you know for certain if you are pregnant.
Also, do you mean you had intercourse four separate times and he pulled out before ejaculating each time or that he pulled out to ejaculate four times in one session?

I started taking the pill two days after sex. I'm still taking it. And yes in one night, one session he pulled out four times. He wiped it on a towel [sorry for that info, just wanted let you know]

Depending on the type of pill it may take a few periods to become effective.
But no form of birth control is 100%, even the pill. If you don't want to become pregnant then don't engage in intercourse.

All I can say is call your doctor.
There is a greater chance there may have been sperm in his pre-ejaculate. Think of a straw. You take a sip of coffee through it. You wipe the outside off and put it in a cup of water and take a sip. The first sip is going to taste like coffee because there were still drops of coffee inside the straw.
Good luck and I hope things turn out the way you want them to.

There's a special word for people who use the pull-out method of birth control.
That word is "parents".
Now you play the waiting game to find out if you miss a period. If you do NOT miss your period, I hope you are smart enough to NOT have sex again until you have ESTABLISHED a good birth control method.
Please note the ONLY way to avoid pregnancy completely is to not have sex. I got pregnant using a condom, a spermicide and the birth control pill---all correctly. It was the second time I'd had sex.

First who ever told you that pulling out was a method, need to rethink it. While it does reduce the amount of sperm, he is to pull out before he completes,
There is plenty of sperm in all the early fluids, and then doing it again, right afterwards.
I would have thought you were trying to get pregnant.
Remember the pills are not even 100 percent effective, but tons better than no protection at all.
So to answer your question of course you could be pregnant, and now you have to wait for the next period to come ( or not come) and see.

Exactly... the "pullout" method is about as effective as the "jumping up and down afterwards" method. Meaning neither as was mentioned are even remotely effective.
If you do either, you better be ready to have a kid, because you will be soon.
Also, the pill takes some time to take effect meaning you don't have maximum effectiveness the day you start on them. And even at maximum effectiveness, its never 100%.
You have to treat a guys "tool" just like a leaky faucet. If you don't want to get any water on you, you don't put your hands under it.
And by that I mean... the little devils that do the deed, do get out well before the bell rings and all the other little devils come running out.
