Is Pregnancy Possible Through Withdrawal Method?
Question: Hi, my wife (37) delivered our daughter three month ago today and is currently breastfeeding. We had sexual intercorse (protected) yesterday morning but at one pointjust before ejaculation I stopped for a minute or two to calm down so I prolong the act. When I resumed, I couldn't ejaculate so decided to do the intercourse without a condom which I did for a minute but then I put a new condom and ejaculated a minute or two later. My question is could i have empregnat my wife? Maybe from Precum? Or maybe because I was close to cum initially and I stopped? Please let me know. We considered getting a morning after pill but it is not available in the UAE. I saw in previous posts that taking XXXXXXX 4 pills then another 4 after 12 hours could have the same effect as the morning after pill, is this correct? Please let me know. Many thanks.
Brief Answer:
High dose OCP can be taken
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
It is very rare to become pregnant by precum or without proper ejaculation.
However, one can take any high dose oral contraceptive pills 4 tablets within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse followed by 4 tablets after 12 hours.
Their action is same as the emergency contraceptive pill like i pill.
Any contraceptive pill like Ovral G can be taken.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
