For those of you who had unintentional or "accidental" pregnancies what were the circumstances (if you don't mind sharing)?

Condom Break? Pull out method failed? He didn't pull out in time? Didn't take birth control as prescribed?

I hear/see so many people saying they got pregnant unintentionally or accidentally and it just amazes me how often it happens while some people try and try to get pregnant and dont'/can't.

ETA- for those of you saying the withdrawal method failed can you be more specific?  Did he pull out in time but you still got pregnant or did he just not pull out in time. 

The reason I ask it that I've always used withdrawl method and just not had sex on days around ovulation.  But somehow this week I miscounted or something.  Thought I wasn't ovulating til this Monday or Tuesday but according to my chart I most likely ovulated the middle of this past week...

  • The first time we were just being stupid and didn't do anything. Just young and dumb. Then with my daughter I was on the pill and I took antibiotics and didn't know they would conteract my pill. Haha. Talk about surprise!!

  • With my twin boys I was "on" the pill, but being very lazy about taking it since I had just got married I was too busy to worry about it. I don't think I had paid attention to my b/c pills at all around that time - oops! I got pregnant with my sons very quickly, and they were a wonderful surprise... Now with this baby it took almost 15 months of TTC so IDK I guess thats just the way stuff works out sometimes.

  • My oldest is a pill baby. At the time I did not know that antibiotics interfere with the pill.

    The twins were a condom break.

  • I am pregnant right now with baby #2. I wouldnt say it was an accident more like a surprise. We always wanted another one but we wanted to wait untill be got a bigger place. ours was he didnt pull out soon enough and i went to go wash out but that obviously didnt work but its a welcome blessing
