Who got pregnant using pull & pray?

Since we're on the topic of sex and protection (or no protection for that matter) today. 

Anyone?

    I'm sure a lot...

    ETA: That came out wrong. I mean doesn't it have like a 50% failure rate?

    No flames please...but why would anyone think that pull n pray would even be a form of protection?  It's not rocket science that there's sperm in pre-ejaculate. That's just being careless.

    I thought for years that I was sterile because I used pull and pray so many times and never got pregnant.  When we finally stopped BC and P&P, I got pregnant SO fast it made our heads spin.  I even said "Holy Crap, P&P did work all those years!"

    P&P worked for us for 5.5 years. However, I never considered it a "form" of protection. We hate condoms, and I don't like BCP.

    We used it for 8 years and didn't get pg. The ONE time we decided okay we are ready to have a baby lets give it a try I got pg.... so it did work for us! I didn't chart or take my temp, but I had a very predicable cycle (always 28 day exactly)

    FYI: I am allergic to condoms and every BCP I tried (including patch, IUD, and depo) I had an allergic reaction or some kind of medical issue when using BCP.

    planned parenthood says 96% if done correctly and 73% if not.  i still wouldn't rely on it.

    Suppossedly it's a high failure rate but DH and I used it for 6 years before we got married with no pregnancy. Our IF factored into it I'm sure.

    That's what we've been doing for 6 months or so.
