my story is this-me and my boyfriend use the pull out method almost everytime we have sex but we always put a condom on afterwards to finish it out. well we did it in the shower the other night and we did the pull out again. we used the condom right after that to finish. well when i got out of the shower about 10 or 15 minutes later we were at it again. he pulled out again and then put the condom on. he did not urinate between the sex in the shower and the sex after the shower. so my question is this-if he did not urinate between the 2 rounds and i am at one of my most fertile days can the leftover *** from the 1st round from the shower be enough to get me pregnant after doing it the 2nd round? please help me im 18 but im in college and just need answers. please be kind enough to read this and help me out. thank you (:

You need to buy an early pregnancy test kit now. There's a good chance you may be pregnant. This is because the pull-out method does not work. Here's why:

The fluid that men secrete prior to ejaculation can contain millions of sperm. This is because previous ejaculations can leave some sperm behind in the folds of the penis.
The short answer is that you can’t trust the circumstances, so you have to take control and assure safety by using effective risk reduction to reduce your risk of both pregnancy and disease or infection.

The average ejaculation contains approximately100 million sperm. But it only takes one active sperm and a few hundred helper sperm to create a pregnancy, so sometimes there may be more than enough sperm in pre-ejaculate when sperm are present in it to make that happen.

Using a condom AFTER your boyfriend enters you is not an effective form of birth control or risk reduction. He should put on the condom BEFORE you begin penis-vagina sex. Dr. J

Its not the "money shot" that's likely to get you pregnant! His pre ejaculation will!!!! I really think the whole "pulling out" theory was developed by a man. Its by far one of the craziest things Ive ever heard! If you play with fire...you will get burned!  Be very careful, and don't believe for a second your not as likely to get pregnant because he pulls out. I'm assuming a young woman such as your self must be educated. You need to educate yourself on pre ejaculation. Its important to understand a mans body. You just cant depend on them... You'll see that as with age! Its important you stay in school and get your degree for this reason! :) Best wishes to you!

New to this forum and was lurking....thought I would put in my 2 cents :)

My OBGYN once asked me, "You know what people who practice the pull out method are called?"......"PARENTS!" ;-)

3 of our 4 were conceived using the "pull out" method, so I think he was right!

This method should only be used if you are monogomas, and if you both are okay with the possibility of having a baby. My hubz claims to be "good" at pulling out. Yet, we have 3 beautiful daughters that are proof that he is not!:0)

Best Wishes! Please, if you don't want to get pregnant soon,, find an alternative form of BC that will work for you!

Was just reading your comment and confused on what you mean by helper sperm ???
Patrice18 i had a discussion with my friend about this, she always put the condom on just before he was ready to finish and i told her over and over again she was playing with fire but she didn't listen and a couple of months later guess what she got caught pregnant and was devastated.... Please if you don't want a baby wear the condom from the start or go on some form of female contraception :-)
