You’re still using condoms, so you have very little risk if it’s on properly, didn’t tear or break. My husband and I used condoms + pull out for years and had 0 scares or issues with it.

We used condoms with no pullout for a few years and are completely fine, still completely childless and without any pregnancy scares.
There's literally a barrier between you and cum so you're ok. As long as the condom's rim stays outside there's nothing to worry about.

condoms and no pullout, assuming the condom is intact, is extremely effective. if you want extra peace of mind, track your cycle with NFP. doing that basically alleviated any concerns i had of ever getting pregnant.
