Is Pregnancy Possible After Unprotected Sex By Withdrawal Method?
Hi. I had sex with my boyfriend three days after my period. It s an unprotected sex, but he used withdrawal method. Is there any chance for me to get preggy? Coz we don t have plans in having a baby yet but I m so worried about getting preggy. Any advice please. Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here
withdrawal method decreases the chances of pregnancy as most of seman is ejeculated out side vagina but study shows that it is 70-96% effective and not 100% every time because there may be number of sperms present in pre ejaculation or there are chances of small ejeculation left inside the vagina if withdrawal was not exact on time
However if you had sex within the fertile window which is between 8th to 21st day of your cycle (if your cycle is of normal 28 days) and used withdrawal method than there are still a little chances that you may become pregnant
keep watching signs and symptoms of pregnancy and if you miss your next period than u can do a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy
furthermore u can always seek medical help from your gynecologist
I hope it help
