i agree with the above posts. it is possible. no matter how hard a guy tries or says he wont come inside of you, there is always a chance he can accidentally. dont risk it. get on the pill, use condoms, or use diaphrams.

good luck

penta agony auntAnd how much do you trust him? My sister dated someone who said he'd pull out and didn't. He wanted to get her pregnant because then "she'd never leave." She was 16. Thankfully she didn't get pregnant and she left him. Jerk.

Don't leave the rest of your life in anyone's hands but your own. Use protection every time until you mean to get pregnant. Good luck hon.

ladybug agony auntyep! you could.. on our nursing term, there is so-called "pre-ejaculation" where a man tends to come early to lubricate women's vagina, this fluid also contains a large number of alive spermatozoa, and could be enough to impregnate a woman. Coitus interruptus or pull-out method ISN'T a safe method to use.

but still, the probability is only about 50%. I really hope for a better result for you!

88jane agony auntyes you definately can get pregnant from the pull out method! this is a very unreliable way to prevent pregnancy-although no method is 100% effective, the pull out method is one of the most unreliable!

it only takes one tiny little sperm to reach the egg to get you pregnant so any time the penis is inside the vagina or around that area and isnt covered with a condom,could mean some sperm is released! this could get you pregnant!

You say that STI's arent an issue but i still think it is important to adress this so that you are 100% aware that safe sex using a condom is the best way to prevent from catching a disease-and also helps prevent pregnancy!

if you did this last night then i suggest you get the morning after pill (emergency contraception) if you dont want to risk pregnancy and also make an appointment with your doctor or family planning service to discuss more reliable forms of contraception! this will save you from being so paranoid next time!!

hope this helps!

Buy a pregnacy test as soon as possible. The pull out method usually works, so odds are you're not pregnant.

Sorry, I meant 'pull out' not 'pill out' But speaking of the pill, if you find out you are not pregnant...get on the pill, as soon as you can. Take care

A reader, anonymous, writes (14 September 2007):

Let me put it this way. If there was any type of contact between your vagina and his penis, and even with the pill out method, then as Jamer states, pre cum sperm could have been involved it could mean the monumental, life altering consequences of a pregnancy. Even a tease at the vaginal entry can be detrimental. If this sounds scary to you, then please take note, because you need to understand the incredible responsibility that goes with the act of sex. We know it take just one teeny sperm to make it to the female's egg to fertilize..so it doesn't take much to make a baby, hun. In the future, be responsible! Start using better contraceptive methods and remember, there is no 100% surefire, method of avoiding pregnancy. You take a huge chance every time you have sex, dear...that is cold harsh, true reality. You will be on pins and needles for a bit until your menstruation arrives, but if you feel you could be pregnant, get a test done asap. And if you are pregnant, some very heartbreaking decisions, will have to be made. I wish you luck and keep us posted.

eyeswideopen agony auntOf course you can get pregnant with the "pull out" method. If you are smart you'll go to the pharmacy and get the morning after pill ASAP.

Jamer70 agony auntwell even if he "pulled out" the likely hood of being pregnant is similar to that if he didnt. Pre-cum contains sperm also. So you could get pregnant from that.

I dont mean to scare you but its the truth, take a test and be careful from now on.
