Can you still be pregnant if pull out method?

Yes, it is still possible to get pregnant even if the pull-out method is used. The pull-out method, also known as withdrawal, involves the male partner withdrawing his penis from the vagina before ejaculation occurs. While this method can reduce the risk of pregnancy, it is not 100% effective.

Even if the male partner withdraws before ejaculation, there is still a chance that some sperm may be present in the pre-ejaculatory fluid. This fluid can still contain live sperm, which can fertilize an egg if it comes into contact with the vagina. Additionally, the pull-out method may not be effective if it is not performed correctly or consistently.

The pregnancy rate for using the pull-out method varies depending on the specific study. Some studies have found a pregnancy rate of around 4% to 18% over a year of typical use, while others have found rates as high as 30% to 38%.

For individuals looking for a highly effective method of birth control, the pull-out method may not be the best choice. More reliable methods, such as condoms, birth control pills, or an intrauterine device (IUD), can provide a greater level of protection against unplanned pregnancy.
