What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy If Had Sex Using Pull Out Method While Ovulating?

Hi I had sex when I was ovulating and used the pull out method. I was supposed to start my period 5 days ago. I took a test the day after I was supposed to start but it was negative. Could I still be pregnant? I also threw up a few days before my start due date but I think it was due to a headache?

Hi and welcome to HCM
Pull out method or also called coitus interruptus method is a crude method and it has high failure rate. Its usually not recommended by doctors as a method of contraception. The fluid which is secreted by male partner before ejaculation may also contains sperms which can lead to pregnancy.
Take a pregnancy test once again and if it is still negative and periods are not happening then please consult a local doctor. If test is positive and you dont wish to continue pregnancy, please consult a good obstetrician to terminate safely.
Some safe methods of contraception are condoms, oral contraceptive pills, copper T (if u have one child). I advice you to communicate this your partner and ask him to use condoms.

All the best
