Hi ladies. Im know this isnt the right board, but you guys seem so educated about these things, I thought I'd try asking. Dh and I practice the withdrawal method for BC, I recently went off Birth Control, we were going to start trying in December. 2 days prior to my ovulation day DH and I had intercourse twice. Could the second time cause enough leakage significant enough to cause pregnancy ? I told him probably not at the time, but now that Period is late, Im not so sure. Does anybody know the odds of getting pregnant this way ? I always thought that there wouldnt be enough sperm to cause pregnancy. Thanks for all your help !

There is still a "failure rate" of the withdrawal method; in fact, I believe its failure rate is higher than most barrier methods (i.e., condoms) or hormonal methods (i.e, the Pill). And if you BD'ed 2 days before O... well, that's excellent timing for getting pg. Since your period is late, by all means - go take a HPT.

Good luck to you!
