Re: So pull and pray is completely effective birth control...
Oh well that's good. But I'm on my period anyway. I can't get pregnant anyway.
Of course it is
Everyone knows that!
Awesome.
Having sex without any protection during fertile times worked well for me for almost a year. lol
I used it this morning... so far I don't feel preggo!
For those who use this method and it failed, was it because the guys slipped up and didn't pull out faster enough or did you really think you did everything exactly right?
Dear Magical,
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.

Even if you do it perfectly, it can fail. There is often sperm in pre-ejaculant. The reason why people think it works is that normal couples only have a 20% chance of conceiving with perfect timing. And since a lot of time sex happens during infertile times of the month, so it is possible to use it for a long time without getting pg, but that doesn't make it a reliable form of bc.

I agree its not 100 percent and we are okay with that. I just wondered what peoples experiences are who used it and got pregnant. My friend did and got pregnant, but in that circumstance he forgot to pull out. Your chances are also lower for success if the guy does not pee in between times, because the urine can kill the sperm in the uretha-therefore it wouldnt come out in the pre-ejaculate. I would never recommend it to someone who definitely not wanting a baby. and yes ive edited my post, I guess I am a little gun shy on here!
Roshy, I'm glad you caught the post before she edited it. I thought I was going crazy when it was changed.

If you are a fertile woman having unprotected sex with a fertile man during your fertile period, you can get pregnant. End of story. Doesn't matter if he pees twice, turns in a circle and sacrifices a goat. If you're not ready to have a kid, either don't have sex or use protection.

Well i had 2nd thoughts, because I realized where it would go...But it went there anyway. I apologize for posting it.
it's not like she is a teenage girl or something. She's married. Maybe they weren't officially TTC - but also were just letting whatever happened happen?

I would say this is a fair statement. I guess if you are saying it's your only form of BC - then yea, that's silly- no matter what your age or marital status is.
but if you're married or in a commited relationship & ready to be parents & deal with whatever happens than that's your choice and I'm not going to judge.
ah. well, we've all done dumb things during that age. Scary what I thought I knew back then...!! Glad I made it through in one piece...!
