    Pull-out method, pregnancy
    I do not want to hear the lecture - but I have got pregnant before by not using a condom. I was young and stupid, and did not know any better.

    Recently, me and the same guy had unprotected sex, using the pull out method. I looked it up , and it was a high fertility day on the day it happened. After "pulling out", we did have sex again.

    What are the chances I may be pregnant? This happened only a few days ago.

    First... you don't get to say who can answer and how...

    You obviously know the possibility is there... and is quite high in fact... but nobody can give you specific odds. Too many unknown variables. You have to wait and see.

    I know . I figured maybe someone in a semi similar suitation may put some input in, waiting is probably the hardest thing. I am now older, and can handle whatever happens.

    Obviously, you are aware then that the pull-out method has a very high failure rate.

    Pull out really is not a birth control method. It has consentent failure rate, since it does not protect against sperm at all, just lowers the amount if they boy actually pulls out, which they fail to do normally. But there are plenty of sperm in the early fluids, so it really is no protection at all.

    Next how do you know it was a high fertile day, ovulation does not come a certain number of days after a period for most women, but can come the first week or last week of the cycle. You have to be taking body temp and tracking your ovulation to actually know fertile days, online or phone apps are jokes and are not to be taken seriously.

    So basically you have no idea if you were fertile or not, used no real protection,

    So of course you could be pregnant. So you know have to wait till next period and see if you get it or not,

    I did these stupid canculators online that's why I assumed it was correct. Either way, I am just nervous and hate waiting to see what happens. I have cramps, but I do not know if it is just my mind playing tricks on me now.

    It could be your mind... fear of being pregnant might even make your period late too.

    I assume this was a one time event... and you've had nothing after. In which case wait a month... if your period hasn't come take a test... or you can take one a week, a positive is reliable but a negative might be a false negative for about a month.

    Like Fr_Chuch stated those calulators or apps are almost worthless... most women do not ovulate at the same point of their cycle... that renders predictions like that useless.

    You would do a daily Basal Temp readiong and keep a chart if you wanted to know when you actually did. Its tedius but its about the only way you can find out for yourself.
