    withdrawal method...is it effective?

    I had unprotected sex with a guy I have been seeing for about a year now. It was spontaneous and I was unprepared, but things got out of hand and it happened. He pulled out way before he came, but I am still worried. Also, I know I was in my ovulation cycle at the time...but I didn't think about it until later! I know it was irresponsible and I should have more sense because I am very fertile and have always gotten pregnant extremely easily! What do you think the chances are that a little sperm could have leaked out??? Has anyone here gotten pregnant like that? I am so worried....any advice would be so appreciated!!

    Withdrawl is 80- 90% effective when used properly...

    Even pre-cum can get you pregnant... But my fiance and I have been using nothing but the withdrawl method for almost 4 years now and I only got pregnant when we wrongfully assumed one of us was infertile...lol...Not to say that its impossible but when used properly the pull out method or "withdrawl" is 80- 90% effective...Keep in mind because i don't know how old you are that these stats are MUCH lower in teens and men with problems with premature ejaculation...

      If you know you're ovulating, I would definitely call or go to your doctor or a family planning clinic to get the "morning after" pill. From what I understand, it can be used up to a few days after unprotected sex. Just to be on the safe side.
