---I know most of ya'll would say it is not even a contraceptive method but i want to see what you guys experienced and have to say ?
Well, one of my close friends used it... and now has twins so... no. It is the worst "method" you can do! Pre-cum is VERY high in sperm count so you can just get pregnant with that!
I chose "other" because when he doesn't use a condom (rarely) he will pull out...however, I have also been on BCP's for years, so that's our MAIN method, no matter what else we do. I wouldn't be able to just use the "withdrawal method" on a daily basis and keep my sanity. But sometimes we don't have condoms, or we're in the shower, or whatever. But, I'm very good w/ taking my wonderful pills.
Good god, no. My sanity would take a serious hit. We don't use condoms, but I've been on birth control pills for eight years and am excellent about taking them on time.
No withdrawal method here. But we don't use condoms either. We're pretty much risk takers, I guess.
@AmeliaBedelia: same here! I've been on oral contraceptives for 4 years and we almost always use condoms anyways. When we don't FI will pull out. I don't really consider it "pull out method" though because if I wasn't on birth control it wouldn't be an option.
Yes, but more as preference than as birth control. I am on the ring, which is really the main method, but I have some pain issues (maybe a mild allergy to him...) if we don't use condoms / pull out. The fact that it's actually moderate effective is nice to know as a secondary method, but I wouldn't rely on it alone.
Yes but as a backup with other methods. Our main methods are condoms or the sponge and fam. I figured all of those together would be almost as effective as hormonal birth control since I can't be on it.
There was a huge post about this before. It is effective when used properly (both partners know and trust one another and themselves/ their bodies, are not using alcohol or drugs, are experienced.) It works 100% for me and I have used it for 11 + years.
The withdrawl method ON ITS OWN I would not trust as far as I could sling it. However, FH and I do use a combination of withdrawl + condoms + NFP (in terms of guestimating the times when I'm most fertile, and avoiding sex then OR always withdrawing). However, we never engage in penetration without condoms, because I'm off the pill right now for health concerns, and my stupid GP doesn't want to give me an IUD.
At one point in time I used the withdrawl method. I'm lucky it worked. But my fiance has been fixed, so I no longer have to worry.
MEEEEE!!!! (LOL). I couldn't vote using any of the choices bc they didn't describe me. But we use it and it works for us. I used it w first husband and it worked as well. When we wanted to get preggers, we did.
*disclaimer* Not for everyone. It does work for us.
No. It astonishes me that people think the withdrawel method is an effective form of birth control.
I can't use hormone birth control for health reasons and my skin doesn't like condoms much (i think it's the lube they use on them not the actually latex) so I use the withdrawl method. It's been working for us for two years. I'm hopefully getting a copper IUD after we get married, but we'll have to wait and see about that. I think we've only had an incident twice where it didn't work and we just used plan B after that.
hehe we always use the pull and pray... every single time in fact as did I with an ex or two and no issues here so far (I hope I don;t jinx myself and end up a pregnant bride)... I have a kiddo but that wasn't a pull and pray that was an oops... I really thought we'd make a cute baby... sigh. I could have hurt him but I got a beautiful son and I love being a young mom! He's 6 Im 25 and his dads 23
Providing you dont have sex when you are ovulating isn't it hte same as charting?
I went of the pill 3 years ago and we have been doing it ever since, and no preggers for me, however we are married and it wouldn't really matter if it did happen.
I use it as back up protection. About a quarter of unplanned pregnancies people I know have had are due to this method
Not...a....chance. :S. This is one area of my life I would rather not take chances with, gah!!!
I've used the pullout method for 8 years, and the one time I got pregnant was PLANNED and the other time I got pregnant, well he didn't pullout. So, for me, when used properly, I'd say its 100% effective. But for the record, my FI is VERY good at *ahem, controlling himself.
@Ms Hedgehog: There is actually no sperm in Precum... Unless he has had sex in the last few hours and hasnt used the restroom...
But yes I use the "Pull Out" method but i trust FI and have issues with birthcontrol
I wouldn't rely on it. Not only is it relatively ineffective, but I'm not interested in (ahem) interrupting the fun.
I'm on the pill, which is our main method, but sometimes when we aren't using condoms my fiance will withdraw for a little extra protection. Other times we will use condoms and still other times he will finish in me without a condom.
I started off with my SO not on BC and we did that a couple of times, then I went on the pill and even on the pill I was weary about it. It is not 100%, there is still pre-cum and you can get pregnant. I went off the Pill and I now have had the I.U.D for a while now and now he doesnt have to pull out at all. But I would definetly think about it if you dont have an i.u.d.
Don't do it. It just takes one time.
Trust me. I know plenty of withdrawal babies.
I used the withdrawal method for almost 4 years. I do not by any means endorse it. But I used it. Never got pregnant or had a scare. I got on the pill for a little over a year and now I'm using condoms, and withdrawal on rare occassions. I'm all over the place. But luckily I haven't had a baby. :)
I would only use this method if I was very nonchalant about getting pregnant. For example... I could see us doing this in a year or two when we're "not quite ready" for kids but we could definitely have them and it wouldn't be a big problem for us. But while I'm still in my "dear God no babies right now please" mindset... there would be a LOT of praying if we used the pull'n'pray :)
I do.
Me, i like all natural with chance of risks plz
Been going on two+ years of it working too.
My SO and I used this method and didn't have any problems. I don't endorse this method with that being said. I do know people who have gotten pregnant using the withdrawl method. As of now were abstaining so I haven't nothing to worry about. I'm waiting to go back on birth control before we start again. I don't want a baby anytime soon.
A friend of mine got pregnant a few years ago unexpectedly, this is a conversation we had:
"What kind of birth control were you on?"
"Withdrawl method... it doesn't work"
"You idiot"
If done properly the withdrawal method does work. Of course many woman have gotten pregnant while using this form of b/c. So have many others on the mirena, pill, nuvaring, condoms, spermacide, even vasecetomies, and tubals. If you are having sex there is a chance you can get pregnant.
My boyfriend and I haven't used withdrawal method. It's just not an option for me because I'm so anal about being safe and careful with everything, not just sex. So we use BCP's and condoms.
I've learned that it's not full proof due to the fact my cousin and her husband use withdrawal all the time and all three of their children were conceived that way. I know this because she confessed it when we went out to dinner for my birthday.
Then again, my BF's best friend and his girlfriend use it and nothing has ever gone wrong for them.
I think it's different for everybody.
I know this thread is getting old, but I just wanted to say that I use the withdrawal method with my fiance, and I have for over a year with no problems. I will say that your guy definitely needs to know his body, though. He is the only one (only slept with 2 men total) that I have not used condoms with.
My sister uses the withdrawal method with her husband but she also charts, so she knows when she won't get pregnant. She hasn't been pregnant so I guess it might work but only if you use it with other methods. The withdrawal method alone... yeah too risky. Yeah, I don't want to chance it.
I use the pull out method as well and have been for years. Both my FI and I are good at knowing our bodies and he is really good at knowing when to pull out. There have been no accidents, no worry, nothing. Since I can't use pills, shots, or condoms, this is one of my options. And it is very effective =]
We used this method (and still do) before I was on birth control. Never got pregnant, but I feel much better now that I'm on the shot. :)
I voted "complicated", because I suppose we use this method at times...we do NFP and I have super long cycles so most of the time we are all natural baby! :-) Originally we thought we would just choose abstinence during my fertile time but that became clear it was not gonna happen (hehe, we are intimate quite frequently)...so during fertile times we use the withdrawal method. It has worked for us quite well so far.
