Yeah, I was in a state of shock and disbelief for a few weeks.

How many kiddo's do you have?

I have four, ages 14, 12, 10 and 2.5.

Maybe one time it won't be 100% for us either - you never know.

Life is full of surprizes.

This is how my niece was conceived. I can't say how often they tried it, but they claimed it was the first time they had done it. Definitely not a reliable birth control method.

[fantesia28]

It's funny because I always thought this was such a reliable form (it has been for us) since it's worked for a combination of at least 13 years for us. It sounds like it could fail, though I doubt it will for us.

I do want another baby now so if it failed it wouldn't be a big deal... though I could seeing down the road when I know I am done and wham it would fail at that point.

my SIL had a baby using this method after about 6 years...

[savannah smiles]

We've been using it for 7 years now and we haven't had any unplanned pg's. I've gotten pg the first cycle the three times we were TTC (one was a m/c) so fertility isn't an issue. But, like others have said, we'd be comfortable with another baby should he/she come along so we're ok with the failure rate.

We have used the withdrawal method for almost nine years. DS was planned.

I suppose there could be "oopsies," but we're married, so we're okay with that. I wouldn't do this if I weren't in a monogamous relationship.

I got pg this way ten years ago with my bf at the time... he wasn't even close to "finishing" and put on a condom, but still I got pg. With DH, we did the "stop in the middle and put a condom on" thing for a few months, and we were ok. But as soon as we decided to try we got pg. Not quite the same thing as withdrawal though...but still it can fail. Sounds like you're ok with that though, so hey, carry on

My DH and I have used this as our ONLY method of birth control for MANY years. I have been pregnant twice, one M/C and one DS, both planned. If used correctly it is very successful.

[bigeyes]

No, but I've gotten pregnant by the I'm sterile so we didn't pull out and condoms are not very reliable method.

[Yaliina]

Oh, me me! I got preggo using this method (oops) after using it "successfully" for a few months. And I honestly can't remember any more if we were trying to use this method when ds2 was conceived, but we may have been.

I know that dh & I are extremely fertile, so we use serious birth control (ie- IUD, which I LOVE). I totally do not recommend using the pull-out method if you really don't want to get preggo. To me, it's the "we're not trying, but if it happens..." method.

I know you have lots of answers, but I wanted to chime in. Henry was our P&P baby - and he pulled in plenty of time! It was also 3 days prior to ovulation, so that kiddo was meant to be!

Me! My second child was conceived when my ex and I were breaking up (the first time). We had sex ONCE (I know, bad idea anyway...) and we stopped before he *ahem* and I ended up pregnant. We got together and had another baby two years later on purpose and then divorced before she turned two.

About 3 months after we split up, he got his gf pregnant the same way. Oops, indeed.
