We used the pull out method and that my dear led to ds1... I was only 17 at the time so yea.... lol
coocoo! I was trying to look back and see if it was the same you did or if yours was a "failed" didn't pull out in time thing, I couldn't remember! I am betting yours swayed pink! I just get a feeling!
I looked online and it seems as if there is always a 4% chance of pregnancy with pull-out done perfectly. Dh seemed to think we maybe should do it this way to sway girl but I was unsure if it did and I don't particularly like the low odds of pregnancy. To humor him we did this over my last ovulation but I HIGHLY doubt I am pregnant and if I am I will be mad at him because it will likely be due on xmas eve, yuck. I have never ever done the pull-out method over ovulation before but we do it during my non fertile times and when it is getting closer to the O.
Thanks anchor:)
slim to none. While people do claim to have gotten pg that way and I'm sure it could possibly happen (maybe kinda), I think the majority of the time that was "pilot error" and there was some 'jaculatin' going on even when the female participant is not aware that it did.
Studies have shown that pullout can be as effective as BCP for preventing pregnancy even at ovulation and my DH and I have done it for years right thru O and never had a whoopsie. So I would not have you guys do that as some kind of sway tactic.
If you are in the market for something like that, please check out the Spermicide thread in the complete index, it has some ideas along those lines
Ok what that 4% means is that of everyone who did pull out, some perfect, some not so much (because those people were reporting their own results, I kinda doubt there was a researcher standing there going "bravo that was done perfectly"), 4% of them got pregnant. It DOES NOT mean that average guy/gal on the streets has a 4% chance of conception that way (I betcha it is much lower if you do a good pullout.)
It takes MILLIONS of sperm to make it to the egg and fertilize it. there just isn't enough in most men's ejac to get it done. Can it happen, yes on rare occurances but I would not want anyone to waste precious months out of your limited fertility pursuing this as a sway tactic.
PS - what if only Y sperm come out in the ejac?? We don't know?
The sperm left over from 24 hours would have died off in the meantime. I think you are just one of the exceptions coocoo!
The other thing that can happen is if you had a BD when you thought you couldn't possibly be fertile, it can live for 5-7 days so sometimes when people think they got pg from a pull out, it was actually what happened 5 days earlier and/or they ovulated earlier/later than they thought they did.
I asked my husband if he "did it right" and he swears as he did!
I don't know, it wouldn't suprise me if he fibbed about this as he has before about things he think will upset me!
Arghh so irratating because I thought we were totally ok doing that so never thought I'd get pregnant and that's why I have questioned him a few times about it! Oh well, what's done is done.
