So I’m just curious how many mommas have gotten away with just the “ pull out “ method. My significant other seems to think that’s all we need, meanwhile I’m over here freaking out because I do NOT want anymore babies right now, if ever. Has anybody been successful just using that method or what do you mommas do? I do NOT take birth control and never will, I have enough crazy hormones as it is.

I have an almost 2 year old…my pullout baby
Natural family planning without the pull out method is probably WAY more effective than just the pull out method itself.

I got away with it for 4 years, and then when we decided to try for a baby, we got pregnant the first time he didn’t pull out… so it was pretty effective for us. It just depends on how good his pull out game is, I guess. Lol

There’s a risk of pregnancy that we were willing to take. But pull out was successful for us every time we used it. But again-sperm get in via precum. So the chances are definitely higher than using birth control.
I think one of the most important things that help the “pull out” method work if you really do not want anymore children is… Do not have sex when you are ovulating. Even a day or two before and after ovulation just to be safe. Use an app and track it. You may even know when you are ovulating because of extra discharge, some feel crampy, etc. You have to be ovulating to get pregnant 
that’s what I did… and then when we decided we wanted babies we had sex during ovulation and BOOM I’m 30 weeks:heart:

If you’re certain you don’t want anymore babies, you could get your tubes tied or he can get snipped. Never rely on the pullout method.
3.5 years of using the pull out method here! knocks on wood I actually just started birth control 1. Because I was terrified of getting pregnant again and 2. Because my last 2 periods were abnormally heavy and painful and the doctor thinks it’ll help regulate my hormones 
Works for us, but to each their own
Rather be safe than sorry, find a low hormone B/C or wear a condom. If you aren’t preventing, then you’re trying. 
especially since the pull out method isn’t 100% effective, when you factor in precum…
Might want to back it up with charting your cycles and ovulation and all that jazz, too make sure you’re sexing outside the window but

Worked for 4 years with me until we wanted to have a kid!
Pull out method always worked for me with one of my exs. We didnt get pregnant until we actually tried. Research natural family planning. That’s the only “birth control” I used and it worked fine.
Most guys don’t do it early enough. Like really early. Early enough he’s not finishing on his own, like seriously. Worked for me for a decade plus, but we are talking a FULL MINUTE OR TWO EARLY. You probably should find another way. Lol

We were successful with just pull out method for almost 10 years. Now I have a 4 month old. Worked long enough I guess. Lol
How old are you both 18? Grow up and be adults! Protection and and IUD does not screw with your hormones. Don’t be stupid.

Did it. Have a son. Don’t recommend!
Read how to take charge of your fertility. It can be effective but you have to know your body etc. Otherwise find a form of bc that works for you. Pull n pray isnt the way to go for most.
I believe it is about control… I have 2 kids. I have literally tried twice. I have never used any form of birth control other then the pull out method. My Girls were both discussed and planned and both times it worked on the first try!

My husband and I hated condoms so we tried tracking my cycle and pulling out. I had one irregular cycle and now we have a beautiful baby girl.
And that’s what I’ll be telling my children when I have “the talk” with them. Even the most regular body can do something unpredictable out of the blue. Protection is more effective than crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.

It doesn’t work because he is still leaking sperm in you while screwing look it up. If you don’t want kids and don’t believe in birth control send him to get cut or I suggest you start having headaches lmao.
3 grandbabies in less than 3 years from the pull out method 
It’s actually worked great from my bf and I but then he thought I was on my period one day and I wasn’t and now I’m pregnant sooooo yea… lol

NO. But honestly we used condoms and I’m now expecting my second 4 months postpartum, so there’s that.
First and foremost you don’t have to be on hormone birth control you could use condoms. My husband and I used the pull out method for years 8 to be exact BUT when we were drinking we used condoms because well we are not as in control of our bodies when we were not sober. With that being said I also have a medical condition to where I don’t ovulate consistently every month. My husband owes his body very well and I know my body and his body very well and I know when he is getting close to the point of ejaculating so I would make him pull out when I knew he was at that point. It’s a Split Second thing and decision if he hesitates you could get pregnant with pre-cum. We just had a baby 11 months ago so I am in a very fertile period so we use condoms. I think we will continue to use condoms because I am done having children and I was unable to get my tubes tied when they did my c-section and I am not willing to go through another medical procedure my husband does not want a vasectomy and I can’t use any type of birth control because I have horrible side effects. Like always however if you do not want any more babies maybe you or your husband should think about more permanent measures to prevent that or he should really use a condom when you guys are intimate because with the pull out method you really do run a high risk of getting pregnant.
Been using the pull-out method for 8yrs. Both of my kids were planned. It works for me & my husband 
Talk to your husband about a vasectomy. My husband did it for us. Some men say it ruins the sex drive that’s bull if anything it increased because there wasn’t the fear of pregnancy.

My husbands pull out game sucks!!!
Honestly though it could if you’re really careful. First off know that eggs can survive in the penis tube for 3 days. If he’s “finished” in the past 72 hours there could still be little soldiers in this penis. Which means they could come out in his precum. Now if y’all only have sex twice a week sure the pull out method would work. But how many married people do that😁
Birth control doesn’t always make u hormonal. Sometimes it actually makes ur hormones normal. I’ve been on the pill for like 10 years now and wouldn’t go without it. I would never trust a man to pull out😂

OMG!!! Not effective at ALL!! Tell him to get off his butt and get you contraceptive s
We’ve been pullin out for almost 3 yrs now… Worked so far 
But we use condoms the week I’m ovulating.
It’s been working for me
I’m living proof…the pullout method doesn’t work. I’m alive and kicking…lol. Most guys hate condoms but at least it’s some type of protection. Why don’t you see about the birth control patch or the mirena they insert. I also heard they are making a birth control pill for men now. Idk if it’s out yet. But that’s an option. But The pull out method doesn’t work!! 
I got my daughter from thar method lol
Always worked for me and mine. Lol
Currently 7 months pregnant because my husband swore the pull out method worked.
we do pullout method and its been fine for us 
we have only had kids when we wanted to. 8 years now.
however we knew there was a chance if i DID NOT want more kids i would not rely on it.
Pull out doesn’t work because the precum has the strongest swimmers and her won’t feel when he does it. My friend all have had babies using this method I’ve never tried it
It worked for 13 years for us. Until I ended up pregnant with this little girl. My kids will be almost 14 years apart.
Get a diaphragm at least or you will get pregnant.
Dont trust it at all.
Its worked for me for 7 yrs both my pregnancies I was trying but ive done pull out and never gotten accidentally pregnant
Im so pissed it’s been working for me for 3 years
Lol this is a funny joke unless you’re actually for real then at that point I advise you to keep your legs closed if you don’t want to have any more children

Rhythm method is 98% effective with perfect use. Withdrawal method is about 78% effective.
Got away with it for the past year and before that we got away with it for about 4 years. I don’t get pregnant easily so it may be that reason in which I’ve gotten lucky when we use that method.
I have a pull out baby so it doesnt always work
It worked for me for almost 2 years then we got hammered and he forgot lmao
Precum alone can get you pregnant 
We were sucessful for almost 4 years using only the pull and pray method. We now have a 19 month old. So I’d say its only failed me once.
I guess it can work my husband is psycho about us not getting pregnant he’s all you’re fertile you had a baby!!! Meanwhile I’m over like weelll i had to convince my body to ovulate in the first place so imma say im not dude
the “pull out method” only works as good as your man wants it to work:joy: how much do you trust ya boy???

Nope not a guarantee at all!! IUD maybe or spermicide next to condoms at drug store. I couldn’t take birth control pills. Spermicide isn’t 100% but sure reduces chances of pregnancy. Having your tubes tied is an option.
It is more effective when you track your ovulation and periods and avoid having sex at all around the time that you ovulate. We’ve always done 5 days before ovulation and 3 days after. It worked for almost a year up until some drunken night and I failed to look at the calendar. Next baby we were trying. Then 4 months later we got pregnant again thanks to hyper-ovulation. Ultrasound showed that inoculated around 13 eggs all in that one month, and when we had sex towards the end, when it should’ve been safe, we got twins. Now the twins are 9 months and we’ve had a pretty good track record. I always tell him when it’s a bad idea and if we continue then I ask him how my cervix feels. If it’s soft and open, then it’s a danger zone. Or if it’s high and hard, then we should be in the clear. After stage zero cervical cancer my oncologist said no more birth control and condoms/spermicide give me yeast infections.
My daughter is currently pregnant with a pull out baby lol. She also has a 9 mth old and is 6 months pregnant. Good luck!!

There is nothing 100% effective that exist out there however if you’re not taking some form of birth control, then you have no guarantee. Also you can get low hormone birth control usually prescribed to women who smoke or are breastfeeding.
Can I day how glad i am for this comment though?
seriously ive been wondering how its worked for every one else.
Depends on the guy. My husband and I celebrate 13 yrs together this May. I get bad side effects from birth control so I only took them for one year. Pull out worked for us when we wanted it to. But it is all about him pulling out on time or telling you when to stop or get up. Lol Now that we have our 3. He got a vasectomy so we dont have to do that anymore. Lol
It worked…until it didnt anymore twice I may add…
