Is Pregnancy Likely After Intercourse By Withdrawal Method?

Hello, I had intercourse with my girlfriend a few days ago. We first starting having intercourse with a condom on and then we decided to remove the condom. I ejaculated outside of her. What is the risk of pregnancy? Also, I had not masturbated for at least a week prior to intercourse.

Hello
The withdrawal method is about 95% effective in preventing pregnancy but it isn't a sure-fire method of keeping her from conceiving. There is always some precum in the urethra that contains sperm and that can get into her vagina even if you don't ejaculate inside
