    Unprotected sex and Plan B pill, pull out method during ovulation
    My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on 06/09/2009. My last period was 05/28/2009. I took the Plan B pill 4 hours later and we used the pull out method. I know he didn't come inside of me, but I also know precome may cause pregnancy. I looked up my ovulation later, and according to most calculators, I was either fertile or ovulating at this time. What are my chances of becoming pregnant?

    Thank you for your time.

    50-50. You either did or you didn't.

    If you're asking what the percentages of your "birth control" working are---well, not as good as you'd probably like them to be.

    Get your butt on birth control and make your boyfriend wear a condom if you don't want to be pregnant.

    My second child was conceived by the pull out method. I had been using ovulation kits and looked up all those ovulation calculators and they all said I had already ovulated and the ovulation kit said I had ovulated that cycle already. We figured we were in the safe zone. Wrong, I now have a four month old boy. Get on something, Planned Parenthood offers birthcontrol for women on a low budget if you don't have insurance or think you can't afford it.

    The plan B will certainly help, but like any other form of birth control, it too is not 100% effective. Pull out method works for some, but not for others. Odds are you won't become pregnant simply due to the use of plan b, he did not ejaculate inside you, and even when trying to get pregnant there is only about a 20-25% chance of it happening in any given cycle. Could it happen?. sure. You'll have to wait until your next period is due and see what happens at that time. As the others have said, if you want to lessen the odds in the future, plan to use something on a regular basis... important to note that plan b is not for regular birth control.

    Pull out method is basically no method at all it does not work so don't deceive yourself. Use a condom or start taking birth control, or you'll find yourself asking the same question every month " am i pregnant or not".

    I don't know why they call pulling out a "method" it is not, sperm still is there, just less.
    After that even with birth control pills and condoms there is a small chance of getting pregnant.

    So there is still a chance using plan B.

    If you are going to be sexually active, get on birth control, use condoms

    I don't understand how in the world a female could be confident that a guy would pull out.

    The same way a guy could be confident that she's right when she tells him it's a "safe" time and she's not ovulating.

    Or believes her when she says she's on birth control pills, even if he's never seen her take the pills.
