Pull out method

[Whome91]

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?

@heartsonacake wouldnt say I am "careless" or "stupid" (cheers though) - if I fall pregnant it's not the end of the world, what will be will be. 5 years worth of sex with no issue is a decent record tho.

We've used it for 13 years and I've fallen pregnant 3 times - the 3 times we've tried.

I’m neither careless nor stupid thanks - and 11 years of not getting pregnant despite regular sex is more than lucky surely? The method works well for us.

It’s nice to see fellow women that use it but then again we’re just stupid apparently

Yes, both of my kids were welcome accidents. I strongly recommend the coil!

We use it. Pregnancy wouldn’t be the end of the world though. Have used it for 4 years now. The one time we didn’t use it (TTC) I got pregnant, so I don’t think we have fertility problems.

I read a research paper that said approx 1/3 men have sperm in their pre-cum. Obviously it’s a huge gamble if pregnancy would be disastrous and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone!

@Whome91 yes apparently we are! 15 years of carefully using this method and not one single accident for us.
