I Just Have A General Question. Is A 40 Year

Posted on Wed, 22 Jul 2020

Question: I just have a general question. Is a 40 year old woman more likely to get pregnant by a man that uses the pullout method, or by one that has sperm with slow motility? She was with each of them within a day or so of each other.

Brief Answer:
Very low probability of pregnancy in both cases.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The probability of getting pregnant while using pull out method is low estimated from 4-20%.
The probability of pregnancy if your partner has low motility is low and can't be estimated properly ,it depends on sperm count and grades of motility.
So as a conclusion the probability of getting pregnant from either of them is very low and can't be said for sure.

Hope I have answered the question.

Thank you. I should have given more details. She is 8 months pregnant. The man with slow motility was told years ago that he couldn%E2%80%99t have kids when he was trying with his ex wife. The man that pulled out is the father of her first child who is now 19 years old. She is going to get a paternity test when the child is born, but I%E2%80%99m trying to get a better idea of the odds on who the father is for my own knowledge.

Brief Answer:
The DNA test will confirm it.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Thank you for these details.

Most probably the father can be the one who pulled out.
Yet, a paternity test is required to confirm it.
