So we use the only method left to us which is withdrawal.
IMHO I'm gambling every time we have sex.

Yeesh! Is abortion a contingency plan? I can't imagine being able to perform at all, if I didn't want kids and didn't use any protection. I hope you have a copy of the excellent guide
Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and Reproductive Health. We used it to get pregnant, but the book works both ways.

We have a 20-month old son. It was the right thing for us to do at the time that we did it (33 years old). Prior to that, we were too busy/"selfish"* to have a child.
If you are ready, you know. If you aren't ready, DON'T DO IT.

* I mean "selfish" in a non-derogatory sense.
