I posted this question in a thread but I know it’s easier for atomic too see here!, dh has wanted to dtd a lot this month! (I blame cold weather) so it’s become an unintentional e5d for us, but this morning we ended up dtd again but I made him pull out ( sorry tmi!!) does this count as another attempt?! I’m worried because I’m due to ovulate soon and it would make it too many attempts for my liking!

ive seen a few people post on here who got pregnant (in one case multiple times) from pull-out, its not high odds but it can happen!! if he wants to dtd more than your e5d pattern id use condoms for the extra attempts :)

Thank you for reposting, I just can't keep up with the support threads.

If you pull out it does not count as an attempt. :agree:

It's so rare though and it is usually "pilot error" meaning the hubby botched the pullout. Sometimes guys miss the first little bit without realizing it. I don't consider pullout an attempt (and for many people it is a really effective method of birth control! we've used it for years and never had an accident with it.

Still attempt! This isn't worth any level of stress I promise! :)

I was going to say my DH is good at that method we used it successfully for 3 Years!

Very relieved as didn’t want to miss a chance this month :)
