What Are Chances Of Pregnancy When Using The Pull-out Method Of Protection?

Hello, I am really hoping someone writes me back. I really need medical advice ASAP. My question is, What are my chances of getting pregnant while using the pull out method twice within a 5 hour span? & Can I get pregnant from my partners pre ejaculation? More information: Last night me and my partner had unprotected sex for the first time ever, we normally use condoms but they were unavailable & I am not on birth control, nor have ever been due to my religious beliefs. He did take his penis out of my vagina, at least 5-8 seconds, before he ejaculated. I am sure of this because it took a few seconds then he ejaculated. We later had sex again in the morning. He did urinate between encounters. I researched online, and I am getting many conflicting opinions. I need a medical experts opinion. Please help and get back to me at your earliest convenience. thank you so much!

Hallow Dear,

You seem to be under tremendous stress due to fear of unwanted pregnancy.

Pull out method is not a reliable method of contraception. As you have already mentioned, pre-ejaculation secretions (precum) could have been deposited in your vagina. Precum does contain some sperms which are capable of causing pregnancy. Precum comes out of penis without any sensations and feelings; hence man does not know that he has deposited precum in the vagina.

Now instead of being so stressed out, please try to find out any evidence for the existence of pregnancy. For this, you have following options:

1. Opt for Beta hCG test on your blood any time 10 days after the last incidence of unprotected sex.

2. Alternatively, wait for the menses to appear. If you get periods, you are not pregnant. If you miss the periods, then perform pregnancy test on overnight morning first urine sample a week after the missed period; earlier these tests may report false negative results.

I hope this should resolve your dilemma.
