Is Pregnancy Possible Due To Using The Withdrawal Method?
Me and my fiance have recently stopped using condoms and stopped using the pull out method. We started this on Friday, August 13th, the last day of my period. And for about a week we did it approximately 3 times a day everyday that week. Its not close to time for me to start my period and i was wondering if taking a pregnancy test now would give me a false negative and what the chances are of me actually being pregnant.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Look dear, withdrawal method is not successful to prevent the pregnancy.
Precum before the ejaculation unknowingly enter in to the vagina and it contain sufficient sperm concentration that cause pregnancy.
You have did unprotected sex for a week starting from your period.
Ovulation depend on the cycle length.
If you have 28 days cycle then pregnancy is possible as sperm can live up to 5-6 days in the genital tract and fertilize the ovum.
Pregnancy test will give positive test 8-10 days after mssed period.
If you will do early, it will give false negative result.
Use safe sex practice to prevent the unwanted pregnancy.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
