My friend was talking to me about how her Gyno said he was concerned because she and her husband have been using the pull out method for 8 years and have no has any pregnancy scares or miscarriages.

She was advised to see a fertility specialist because apparently that’s not normal? She then told me I should probably see one too because my fiancé and I have been using the pull out method for 5 years and have never had a pregnancy scare either. (I mean there have been a few times my period is late and then my period comes however long later).

Should I actually see a specialist? Is it uncommon o use the pull out method and not get pregnant … bc isn’t that the whole point? Now I’m worried and anxious lol bc we are going to start trying next year around fall, but when I spoke to my gynecologist last year, she told me that there is no reason to go see a specialist unless I was actively having problems getting pregnant, but I wouldn’t know because I’ve never actively tried… Do you guys know what I mean?
