How effective is the withdrawal method after stopping birth control pills?
Depending on when you stopped using birth control can change the effectiveness of the withdrawal method. Missing one or two pills in your pill pack can cause you to become pregnant even if you use the withdrawal method. The withdrawal method is not very effective even without the use of birth control pills because the man does not have to ejaculate for a woman to get pregnant since there can be sperm in pre-ejaculate fluid. The withdrawal method usually results in pregnancy 8 times out of every 10 women or 80%. Therefore, this method is not very effective.

What does it mean to ride hard then pull out wet?
The expression is "ridden hard and put away wet". It originally referred to horses. Back in the day if you raced your horse 'hard' the horse would sweat, after putting it away in the stable. Usually this meant that the horse as well as the rider were thoroughly exhausted from the 'ride'. In modern times this expression has been used to describe vigorous sexual encounters; where usually the phrase is used to describe how you left your partner feeling "ridden hard and put away wet".
Why is using the rhythm method alone not a reliable method of birth control?
Because before a man ejaculates, he secretes pre-ejaculation fluid which he cannot feel. That fluid contains sperm. Also because not every womens cycle is always regular.
How do you use the withdrawal method correctly?
You don't, because it DOESN'T prevent pregnancy! You should be using condoms!
What is the nutural method of family planning by concerning the monthly period dates?
having sex two days before and five days after monthly period
Does the uvula do anything other than help with the gag reflex?
The uvula functions in sealing off the nasal pharynx from the oral pharynx during the act of deglutition.
In plain English: as you swallow, the soft palate, whose posteriormost extension is the uvula, elevates and the uvula presses against the 'back of your throat.' As that happens, the opening between the nasal cavity and the back of the throat is blocked, and the food or liquid cannot enter the nasal cavity. A simple experiment: 1. close your mouth and breath through your nose; air enters your lungs. 2. Open your mouth and breath through mouth; air enters your lungs. So, now you know that there must be communication between your nasal and oral cavities. 3. Collect saliva in your mouth; close your lips, swallow, and at the same time try to breath through your nose. Air will go into your lungs ONLY after you finished swallowing.
Now, imagine that you are drinking milk (or anything else) and as you're swallowing the white stuff, someone cracks a joke and you start to laugh. As you do so, milk may back up into your nasal cavity and come out your nostrils. Disgusting, but funny to a certain extent.
Do you "need" a uvula? No, people can live very happily without uvulas and learn to control the swallowing process so that food (or fluid) will not enter their nasal cavity.
If you were only on the pill for 1 week how long should you wait for your period?
Hello,
You will experience a withdrawal bleed within 2 weeks of stopping the pill. 2-4 weeks after the withdrawal bleed your period will arrive.
Well I know for a fact that the pull out method does not work but if she is taking her birth control pills like she is supposed to then you have a 98% chance that she may not be pregnant, but beware it only takes one time and if you do not want a child at this time always protect yourself and make sure if your partner is not resposible that you are. It is nearer 99% and applies to using the pill for a year, not any one time. If 100 women use the the pill for a year only 1 of them will become pregnant.
Birth control pills are the most effective form of birth control. The withdrawal method does not work and if your practice that you will become pregnant. Thanks, JM
Yes. The pill is about 97% effective with typical use, 99% effective with perfect use (hint: read the directions and follow them). That leaves a 3% chance with typical use and a 1% chance with perfect use of getting pregnant.
With typical use, condoms are about 82-90% effective (10-18% of couples using this as sole birth control method will get pregnant over the course of a year), but 98% effective with perfect use. Just so we don't overestimate things, these calculations use the worst typical effectiveness.
If I am a typical pill user I have a 3% chance of getting pregnant. If I combine that with a condom, then I have a ((3)x(0.18))% chance of getting pregnant, or only 0.54% now.
If I am a typical pill user and combine that with the pull-out method (effectiveness about 70% on a good day), then my chances of getting pregnant are ((3)x(0.3))%, or 0.9%.
As you can see, the withdrawal method by itself isn't particularly effective, but because the pill is very effective at preventing pregnancy, the chances of it happening are small.
The pill+condom combination is more effective, because condoms have a better success rate than the withdrawal method.
In addition condoms help prevent STDs
Is the new Lybrel birth control safe?
FDA approved the first continuous-use drug product for the prevention of pregnancy, on May 22, 2007. The new contraceptive, Lybrel, is manufactured by Wyeth of Philadelphia, Pa.
Lybrel comes in a 28 day-pill pack with low-dose combination tablets that contain 90 micrograms of a progestin, levonorgestrel, and 20 micrograms of an estrogen, ethinyl estradiol. These are active ingredients available in other approved oral contraceptives.
Continuous contraception works the same way as the 21-days-on/seven-days-off cycle. It stops the body's monthly preparation for pregnancy by lowering the production of hormones that make pregnancy possible. Other contraceptive pill regimens have placebo or pill-free intervals lasting 4 to 7 days that stimulate a menstrual cycle. Lybrel is designed to be taken without the placebo or pill-free time interval. Women who use Lybrel would not have a scheduled menstrual period, but will most likely have unplanned, breakthrough, unscheduled bleeding or spotting.
When considering the use of Lybrel, health professionals and patients should weigh the convenience of having no scheduled menstruation against the inconvenience of unscheduled bleeding or spotting. Unscheduled bleeding decreases over time in most women who continue to take Lybrel for a full year.
Like other available oral contraceptives, Lybrel is effective for pregnancy prevention when used as directed. The safety and effectiveness of Lybrel were supported by 2 one-year clinical studies, enrolling more than 2,400 women, ages 18 to 49. The risks of using Lybrel are similar to the risks of other conventional oral contraceptives.
- There is an increased risk of blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes.
- Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects from the use of combination estrogen and progestin-containing contraceptives.
- Because people who use Lybrel won't have regular periods, it may be difficult for women to recognize if they have become pregnant. Women should take a pregnancy test if they believe they may be pregnant.
- Birth control pills do not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) or other sexually transmitted diseases.
You could be pregnant the withdrawal method has a 85% failure rate within the first year of use meaning 85 out of 100 couples who use this method will become pregnant within one year...your period can also be a couple of days late because you are stressing about being pregnant although mild cramping can also be a sign of pregnancy if your period doesn't come int he next 4 days go get an at home test or make an appointment with your doctor for a blood test and if it shows that you aren't pregnant and your not trying to become pregnant see about getting on some type of birth contorl while your there such as the pill, patch, ring, shot, IUD, vaginal spermicide, or a condom at the very least remember that by having unprotected sex you are putting yourself at risk for contracting STDs hope everything works out for you Good Luck and God bless!!!
AnswerHello -In this situation there is a risk of pregnancy yes. The withdrawal method does cause conception to take place as sperm is present. Do a test.

its lolita again! i tried a test! it came out negative! but my period is still late ...5 days late now actually! what is going on??? :S I'm feeling very tired and dizzy sometimes :S
AnswerThe withdrawal method is quite possibly the worse method of contraception because pre-ejaculate contains sperm as well as ejaculate which can get you pregnant as well. So yes, you could be pregnant. AnswerStatistics say that your chance of being pregnant is relatively low. With perfect use, there is a 5% - 25% risk. Most failures happen because the man didn't pull out in time and started to ejaculate before he was completely out. If you're feeling your regular pms symptoms, you're probably ok. Withdrawl method is the oldest form of birth control. It goes back to the ancient of days. I'm not advocating withdrawal as you're primary method of birth control. If you do not want to go through this again, consider some form of birth control next time.Have you recently started being sexually active? Do you still have your regular pms symptoms? If so, you're homone balance may be off and therefore you're period is delayed. Out of all the people I've date, two people had their period delayed 1 week because we started to be sexually active. Take your mind off of it because stress can delay it too.
If you've read other posting on false negatives on hpt, just keep in mind that they have a 99% accuracy at 1 week after a missed period.
BTW, please follow up with your question so other worried people like you can hear your experience.
Yes
As long as he didn't ejaculate anywhere close to your vagina then you should be OK. There is always a small possibility however. If you are concerned about it next time you should ask the guy to use a condom, or see a doctor about taking the pill to help prevent unwanted pregnancy.
You give them sweet comments and try to get them to be your girlfriend.
Hello, No this isn't a normal period cycle. The withdrawal method has a very high failure rate and this method DOES put you at risk of pregnancy. Perform a pregnancy test and use protection every time in the future.
