We are thinking about TTC in January. Got off birth control and are having sex, but using the pull out method. Can't use condoms because they irritate me. We tried a lot of brands. We use lubricant. Has anyone accidently gotten pregnant with the pull out method?
|
| Yes. |
| Why are you using the pull out method if you're TTC? |
| Of course. |
| My husband had his 1-2-3rd kid with the pull out method. |

OP, get the book, Taking Control of Your Fertility, and learn how to read the signs of your fertility-- body temp and cervical mucus. You should have pretty good results with that, and it will help you when you do TTC as well.
Millions of Catholic children have been born to parents using the pull out method. |
| OP here, trying in January. So even if my partner just pulls out right before he ejaculates, you think I can still get pregnant? I will look at the book, thanks! |
| Yes, you can. The precum cam absolutely have semen in it. The TCoYF book a PP recommended is a good resource - I leaned a lot from it. But honestly if you're having sex, there's always a chance. |
| Yes, even at an advanced maternal age and even only doing it once. |
Aren’t they your kids too?!? |
| Yep. |
lol |

Did you not pay attention in 9th grade health?
Yes, you can get pregnant if if he pulls out. Yes, you can get pregnant standing up. Yes, you can get pregnant even if you take a hot bath afterward. JFC. Either resign yourself to getting pregnant now, or find a form of birth control that works for you. |
| Yup. At least 3 as of friends had babies a little betofe they planned doing this. |
| OP, even when they weren't ovulating? |
