Do pregnancy test 7 days after your missed period.If you do too soon may have wrong result because pregnancy hormone level not yet high enough.
Good chance that you are pregnant.-pulling out no good.Some sperm released before ejaculation

You can take a test starting the first day that you missed your period. You can buy one from the store, you don’t need to go to the health department.

You can get a urine pregnancy test on the day your period is late. If it’s negative and you are still having problems, go see your gynecologist. They can check your blood levels and see if you are really pregnant or if there is something else going on.

Absolutely you could be pregnant. Myself and more than one woman I know got pregnant in spite of a pull out. It’s a regular misconception that sperm isn’t released until orgasm. If you’ve missed your period you can go to the health department for a test, and the sooner the better so you can make a decision. Good luck.

It’s a little soon… most tests are accurate if done 2 full weeks after the missed period.
Just so you know… pulling out is not a good method of contraception AT ALL… Before ejaculating, a man dribbles out from a few drops to a tablespoonful of a liquid that counters the natural acidity of the vagina. This fluid clears the path for the sperm that will follow, and it can begin coming out right after (or even before) penetration.
This fluid often contains a fair number of living sperm, so by the time he feels his orgasm coming on, you already have lots of little swimmers inside you. They can live for up to 7 days, which gives them lots of time to get into position to meet your fresh egg… and bingo… pregnant.
Remember too that your ovaries don’t always release the new egg right on schedule, especially if you are still in your teens. That means that there are really aren’t ANY safe days to have unprotected sex. I know mothers that only had sex during their periods and still got pregnant… please be careful…
Best wishes,
