What is the probability of pregnancy with external?

Patient's question:

I had sex with my husband a few days ago, using the withdrawal method for contraception. However, my period has been delayed by a week, and it's usually very regular. We already have two children, so we don't plan to have any more, and I'm very worried about getting pregnant again.
What kind of help do I need: What is the chance of getting pregnant with the withdrawal method?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Based on your situation, if intercourse occurs during the ovulation period, the possibility of conception cannot be ruled out. Let's set aside whether a small amount of semen flows into the vagina. During sexual activity, men secrete prostatic fluid, which is a component of semen. From a physiological perspective, pure prostatic fluid does not contain sperm. However, during sexual intercourse, a small amount of it may mix in. Therefore, prostatic fluid also has a chance to cause pregnancy, but the chance is very low.
