Pull out method

I’m still newish to mumsnet but wanted to change my name.

I’ve got 3 kids ages 7 4 and 6 months. I met my husband at 20 and we have always used pull out without any problems so 8 years ( we stopped using it when we tried for our babies ) I’m now 3 days late for my period. I don’t feel pregnant nor feel like I’m about to have my period

Has anyone fallen pregnant on it? Even with perfect use?

Yeah. Pregnant now because I was an idiot too Grin

Well guess you have to wait and see then for a few days, but yes it's absolutely possible but 3 days also isn't overly late unless you're extremely regular? Hope you get the result you want

You can’t use it perfectly. I suspect millions of babies have been conceived using this ‘method’

From experience with my pregnancy’s it’s not until 5+ days I test positive so don’t want to test yet as I could get a falsie negative.

So buy a test

You cant give this method of contraception perfect use because it's not actually a method of contraception 🤦‍♀️

It's impossible to use that method perfectly. If you are usually regular with your periods then you may want to buy a pregnancy test.
