Pregnancy test: Remember the "pull out" method isn't perfect. So if you're period is late, consider taking a pregnancy test.

Do pregnancy test: Withdrawal method is an unreliable method of birth control. Usually, there is pre-ejaculatory fluid (precum) that is release and it may contain viable, motile sperm which are fully capable to cause pregnancy. Do a pregnancy test. If you are not pregnant and does not desire pregnancy, you should re-start some form of contraception.
