Withdrawal and "trying but not trying"?

Question

How many of you out there have used the withdrawal method resulting in pregnancy? And how many of you have ever been at a point of "not trying but not preventing"? I feel like everything I read on here is either women trying everything to conceive, or women trying their hardest not to. Is anyone else in a "limbo"?

SO and I are not currently TTC. I have been on the pill for as long as we have been dating (6 years) and just now went off of it. We are not actively trying to conceive, and are using withdrawal (with the knowledge that it is not super effective). We are at a point where we aren't actively trying to have a baby, but if it happens we will be happy with that outcome too. Does that sound crazy?

Answer

We used pull out for two years without getting pregnant.

Answer

We used the withdrawal method for 3 years. I got pregnant because a couple of times he didnt pull out. We weren't necessarily trying to get pregnant during the 3 years. Just hated the feel of condoms and im not good with taking birth control, so we had decided if it happens it happens.

Answer

My s/o and I were like that, then we said fuck it bc him cumming in me felt so good Lmao. We didn't really care either way, but weren't actively trying or using any form of contraseptives

Answer

We didn't do the withdrawal part but that's basically how we were and it was 2 years before I got pregnant the first year I was on the pill but the second I just quit taking it because well I'm gonna be honest I started forgetting a lot from us doing so much stuff so I just said f*ck it and quit taking it lol

Answer

We did that for about 8 months before I got pregnant.  Now we have a beautiful little girl and I got myself an IUD. 😉

Answer

This is our situation right now. Not preventing, but not yet actively trying for a baby.

Answer

Me and hubby can't decide between 2 and 3 kids. I just had #2 so we are not trying but not preventing. Since I'm nursing it's going to be hard for me to get preggers so we are just seeing what happens. If I get prego looks like it's 3 kids. Otherwise in a few more months I will get an iud and 2 kids for us.
