Can Withdrawal Method Cause Pregnancy?
I have been off the pill since the 26th of july and have been having unprotected sex since, however I have been using the withdrawal method of contraception, and about a week and a half ago I started feeling nauseous. What are my chances of being pregnant? I took a pregnancy test on Monday which was negative however the test says it is effective from 14 days of conception and it is most likely that I would have concieved between the 10th and the 13th of this months as they are my most fertile days.

Hello
Withdrawal method is not completely safe.
Pre ejaculation fluid may contain sperms and pregnancy is possible in withdrawal method.
You should wait for next period.If period is missed then urine pregnancy test can be done.Two dark lines on the card confirms pregnancy.
Ultrasound of pelvis can also be done for confirmation of pregnancy.It can detect G-sac earliest.
