What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy When Using Condoms And Withdrawal Method?

Posted on Thu, 16 Apr 2015

Question: My girlfriend is not on any form of birth control. We have sex regularly but i use condoms from start to finish religiously. I also withdraw right before i ejaculate even though i use condoms. I was curious if this is still safe enough i tend to get a little paranoid around the time of her period

Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it. We dont have sex no matter what unless condoms are included because we want to be as safe as possible. And using withdrawl as well. I really dont want any accidents at all. And we are trying to be smart and do things the right way

Well we are waiting on her to have her period and then she is going to get the bar implant. Thats why i asked healthcare magic to see if there is any reason she wouldnt have her period, hoping we were being plenty safe
