What Causes Pregnancy Even When Did Withdrawal Method Sex?

I am 29 and I have had irregular periods for the last 6 months, before that i was a perfect 28 day cycle, no idea why they changed. they now run 5 weeks than 3 weeks, than 5 again. This month i was late and presumed another 5 week, I wanted to visit the doctors, so did a pregnancy test to rule it out before making an appointment. so to my surprise it instantly turned positive! we use the withdrawel method, which I know isn't 100%, but has always worked for us, I'm unsure as I've read this could be an ovarian cyst, please help

Hi, thanks for writing..
Withdrawal method has a high failure rate. It only prevents the semen fronm entering the vagina. Even precum has live sperms and during fertile period one sperm is enough to cause pregnancy. That might be the cause of the failure. Since you have an irregular periods, exact time of ovulation can't be determined. Hope I have answered your query.
