A member asked:

I had unprotected sex a few days before ovulation but it was the pull-out method. i have not missed my period it's due next week. can i still be prego?

Pull out: The pull out method is ineffective for contraception. Other forms of contraception should be used if pregnancy is not desired.

Possible : Unprotected sex few days before and after ovulation is risky if you are not planning pregnancy. Understanding the life span of the sperm and ovary is very important.Pull out if i recall is not a good means of protection since the initial semen may have sperm before the pull out, as well as human error during pulling out.Do get a pregnancy test when time is ripe and good luck.
