A member asked:

Could i get pregnant using withdrawal method 5-6 days after stopping pill mid-cycle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Carolyn Thompson answered

Yes: Withdrawal is a very ineffective method of birth control. Please consider condoms or other contraception if you do not want to get pregnant.
