Withdrawal is not a very effective contraceptive method, but
it may be more reliable when a woman is breastfeeding and her
fertility is reduced.
For nonbreastfeeding women, pregnancy rates associated with
withdrawal range from four percent to 21 percent during the
first year. Even when this method is used correctly, pregnancy
may still be possible because pre-ejaculatory fluid may contain
sperm.
