Hi, thanks for your question. Withdrawal is a method of contraception that is practiced all over the world and can be highly effective when it is used the way you describe. It is never considered to be absolutely 100 % effective however so there is always a possibility of pregnancy. Here is the link to the Optionsforsexualhealth.org fact sheet on withdrawal.

If you are concerned about becoming pregnant, then you can take Plan B, the emergency contraceptive pills within 5 days of the sex you had. Plan B is available for free at youth clinics or can be bought over the counter at pharmacies like Shoppers Drug Mart for about $35.
Hope this helps. Health Nurse
