Does withdrawal prevent pregnancy?

My husband and I are newly married and not planning for kids right now. Some of my friends told me about the withdrawal method. Does withdrawal really prevent pregnancy effectively?

Keeping the body in harmony requires peace of mind, and relying on such methods only brings anxiety. Based on what my friends and I have seen, the withdrawal method is highly unreliable. It is better to use proper protection to keep your mind and body stress-free.

My gynaecologist at Apollo explicitly told us that the failure rate of the withdrawal method is very high. If you are sexually active, please consult a good doctor to choose a reliable birth control pill or other options.

No, it doesn't prevent pregnancy safely because pre-cum can also contain active sperm. Please use a proper contraceptive method to be safe.

Bro, keeping it straight—no, it doesn't work. We tried it once and had a major pregnancy scare, had to rush to get an emergency pill. Take my advice and don't take the chance, always use protection.

Beta, in our younger days, many people tried this but it often failed. It is not a safe way if you want to avoid pregnancy. Trust the modern family planning methods instead of taking such risks.

I ignored the risks of this method once and we had a very stressful time with an unplanned situation. If you have already had a mishap, don't sit and guess. Go to a doctor immediately for guidance on emergency options.

Honestly, don't rely on pull-out at all, it is super risky! I have had friends who got pregnant despite doing it perfectly. Just use a condom, it saves you so much unnecessary panic and stress later.

Just like a healthy diet requires correct planning and discipline, family planning also needs proper tools. Relying on withdrawal is very unsafe and leads to mental stress, which affects your overall digestion and health.
