Whats my chances of becoming pregnant using pull out?

[Nurse10]

My partner and I are planning to start a family in 6 months time. We have agreed to stop using condoms but use the "pull out method" as he still isnt quite ready to actively try but has voiced if it happens sooner then it happens. I am desperate for motherhood and would like to actively try now but I also know 6 months isnt too long away. We had sex a couple of times just before ovulation this month (2 days and 3 days) he did pull out well before he ejaculated. I am just wondering if I have a chance of becoming pregnant and if other people have experiences being pregnant using this method? I have friends who swear by it and have never fallen pregnant. There is also lots of conflicting information on the internet. Thanks and any experiences would be welcome.

My 4th son was conceived this way. Hubby's willpower ran out!

My youngest was conceived after not using a condom once.

I used it for years with my ex and never got pregnant with him.
My old GP genuinely suggested it to me as a method for birth control and I was young and naive so believed her that it was a reliable method.

The pull out method is how I got my son!

It isn’t reliable.

I used it for years then fell pregnant the first month we stopped using it, twice. So it worked great for us. Maybe it depends on the man though as it looks like it wasn’t that effective for other posters.

Thanks for everyones replies. I must admit I am hoping it does fail and we become pregnant sooner. We had sex when I was most fertile and he had already seen to himself that day which ive read then makes a higher chance of sperm being leftover in precum.

I fell pregnant with my second using this - DH didn’t even “finish” as we were annoyingly interrupted by something, so it’s definitely possible.

Like the PP’s this is how my DD was conceived! 🤣

I don't know about the statistics but I'd be very uneasy about the wishy washyness from your dh. Sounds like he still has doubts? Either you don't (mutually) want you to get pregnant so should be using protection, or you are both happy for you to get pregnant at any time so are having intercourse without protection. This half way thing is odd to me.
You being desperate to get pregnant and him being unbothered/reluctant makes me uneasy. Is he really truly on board with this?

I appreciate what you are saying and there have been many many conversations between us. He initially was reluctant but reassures me now it is what he wants to but in an ideal world he would want to wait a few months and id be delighted now. I am a few years older than him, have never been ppregnant and have always made it crystal clear to him its something I wanted sooner rather than later. If we werent together I would actively be persuing other options myself to have a baby. I have always been very up front with him. I have a great job, house and lots of live to give a baby its very much the missing piece for me right now. He is in a sports job and I think he worries having a family will stop this which uve made clear it wont but ive never lied or hid my expectations and wants from him.

Used pullout method for 15 years, with several partners and didn't get pregnant.

Tried for a baby with my current husband for 6 months. Have a child now.

It worked very well for me. But I wouldn't rely on it now - I don't want more children so I have a coil.

I also feel condoms irritate me and we both feel sex isnt as pleasurable with one. We have agreed that after we have a baby I am going to go back on birth control which ive been off now for years. I also have a small fibroid which can cause symptoms so gp recomnended to go back on birth control following us having a child.
