    Question Anyone here on BB fallen pregnant whilst using the withdrawal method?

    Hi girls, has anyone here fallen pregnant whilst using the withdrawal method? What are the chances?
    As you can see from my sig, we plan to start TTC in a couple of months, so I came off the pill in march to give my body some time to get into the normal rhythem of things. We have used condoms (sorry TMI) but we had run out and used the withdrawal method twice.
    The last day or so I've noticed I've had sore boobs, an occasional cramping feeling in my uterus and I've been headachey. I just looked at the calender and worked out that we probably DTD about 1.5 days before ovulation. I am currently about 10 dpo. I have a longish cycle so AF is not actually due for another 6 days.
    I know the chances would be pretty damn slim, but these symptoms have got me thinking about it

    Yep, I highly UNrecommend it as a form of contraception...

    Might be worth getting an HPT CM. I think the only way it really works is when it's the "I'm having withdrawals from not having sex" method.

    charliismumma - your man will most likely let out a little bit of love uice well before he is ready to "explode".

    So, yes, it can happen - fingers crossed for whichever way you want it to go!!

    Sure have just look at my signature!!! But wouldn't change it for a thing to be honest. No harm in using this method but be prepared to have more kids sooner that is if you are extremely fertile and all your partner has to do is tougch you to get preggas Lol! 0

    Hi,
    I've never been on the pill and have only used the withdrawl method. We've been married for 14yrs and our pregnancies have always been planned. I'm not saying it's fool proof because accidents do happen, I suppose we've been very lucky. I'm seriously thinking of going on the pill now though, because our family is complete and we've decided we won't be having any more.
    Regards,
    Dianne
