Pull out while ovulating

issyb8 · 10/04/2023 10:41

Hoping for some advice , my last period was on the 22nd of march. Lasted around 5-6 days . I went away with my partner for the weekend of the 31st march . Had unprotected sex that Saturday morning and night and used the pull out method. Stupid of us both but we were drinking and had no condoms . We are both fully aware of the risk he knows I’ve been off the pill ( we use condoms usually) for the last few months. My cycles are usually 27-28 days and now I’m panicking that I was in peak ovulation time ?! Has anyone been in this situation? Neither of us know what to think and if we are stressing for no reason .

Don't go by dates for ovulation, go by symptoms. Dates can vary.

Bojosfringe · 20/04/2023 10:46

Do you know when you ovulate for sure? Some people think they ovulate on a certain date but actually don't and can be quite way off.

so update... my period came but its lighter than usual looks like its gonna last for about 3 days because i had only 1 full pad and 1 half full pad but its going slow... im not sure if i should be worried out what but i need info... :(

Noone on here can help you. Go to the Dr. if you are concerned, or do a test.

whatapalavaaa · 20/04/2023 06:07

Been our sole method of contraception for ten years except when trying for dc, which happened in first then second cycle so clearly very fertile. I wouldn’t worry just yet, there’s nothing that can be done now anyway.

Hey hun, I still keep an eye on this thread so you’re more than welcome to stick around and keep each other updated . I’m really not sure what to think I’ve had cramps all week starting Monday and fuller feeling boobs . Last night I was convinced I’d get a period early because of the cramping but nothing yet and I’m roughly 12dpo . I also get uti’s all the time so the frequent peeing I’m not sure about as I usually do that leading up to my period anyway . I’m going to keep waiting my cycle is classed as regular but can be anywhere between 25 days and 29 so I’m trying to just wait it out and see if AF arrives and if not by Wednesday or Thursday I’ll test x

Slightly off topic but have you tried d-mannose for your UTI's OP? Brilliant stuff, you can get it from Holland & Barrett or online from Sweet Cures, stopped my frequent UTI's completely. Sorry you've had a hard time on here, hope everything turns out the way you'd like Flowers

Ttcmumma · 18/04/2023 11:04

@Scalottia you came on here swearing and putting her down because she came on her for advice? That's not an opinion that's just rude. Why come on here if you're not looking to offer support but to just judge? Also I used pull out method for 5 years and it worked fine thanks and before you judge me, I wasn't fussed if I got pregnant so didn't mind risking it but nonetheless, it can be effective for some people as not all men's precum is fertile. I then went on to fall pregnant within a few months of stopping pull out method and have no issues with fertility.

@Scalottia might not be stupid but definitely a bully

A bully for having an opinion. Righto then.

Actually just more shocked that people are still so uneducated in the topic of reproduction.

@issyb8 No I am not looking to be rude, but you posted on a public forum, you're going to get opinions that you aren't going to like.

AllOfThemWitches · 18/04/2023 09:21

You never heard of pre-cum?

Yeah, do you know how rare it is for pre cum to contain live sperm? Again, imagine someone saying 'we're trying to conceive using only pre-cum...'

TallulahBetty · 18/04/2023 09:15

AllOfThemWitches · 17/04/2023 17:55

Oh for fuck's sake, you ain't getting pregnant without any sperm people. Imagine if you posted that you were trying to conceive using the pull out method, you'd get equally judgemental comments.

@Scalottia what part of your comment is useful to anyone here? You just looking for posts to join and be rude ? In regards to me I know I made a stupid mistake I didn’t actually care I just hadn’t planned it and defo not around ovulation but either way I’d accept the outcome. If someone acknowledges a mistake what do you gain from pointing out that they should have known better ? I’d really love to know what you gain from that? Did it make you feel better letting me know that? I can handle it as i personally don’t care for people that go out there way to be rude than nice but there’s a 16 year old who on here that doesn’t need to receive those judgements! Good for you for never making a mistake in life because if you had you’d be a huge hypocrite regardless if it was the same one as us or not! Have a good day hun x

@xkayliex you need to use contraception. There’s a range of options, easily accessed, just go to your doctor or GUM clinic. You’ll need STD tests, too. Being drunk and having unprotected sex at 16 will have disastrous consequences.

I agree. I was no angel at 16 myself, but I never had unprotected sex. Please do get proper contraception in place. I have a daughter myself (nowhere near 16) but as a mother, I'd be horrified if my daughter was doing this and would want her to speak with me about proper contraception. If you have a mother (I don't like to assume) then that might also be worth considering.

Scalottia · 17/04/2023 15:22

Not nasty, I just wouldn't be stupid enough to use the pull-out method as contraception, so there wouldn't be any baby to raise. Not even a relevant comment @Ttcmumma.

It's 2023, presumably people know how babies are made. So if you don't want one, why take the risk. It isn't that difficult.

Ttcmumma · 17/04/2023 15:10

@Scalottia how nasty of you, didn't realise it's you raising this potential baby 🤔

Scalottia · 17/04/2023 15:02

Fuck's sake, why would you even risk it. Horse has bolted now. If you know it's not contraception, why do it...twice? You only have yourselves to blame. Next time be more organised.

hey! i think my period is finally here... i woke up with spotting then it stopped then i put on a pad incase because i have school then i saw blood coming slowly... light pink and watery at first now dark red and watery but kinda thick :)

Sorry dont want to add fear. But monitor how many days your cycle last. I got pregnant with DS... with exactly what you described. Missed my period the following month!

TallulahBetty · 17/04/2023 14:36

CONTRACEPTION IS FREEEEEEEEEE

....And a lot more reliable than this 'method' that you keep 'accidentally' using. It's 2023, people - learn some basic biology.

Thank you! the app says either tomorrow or the 22nd ill receive my period. if i havent gotten my period tomorrow, i'll take a pregnancy test but im really scared im just 16 and i havent told my partner about whats going on because he will always reassure me that he didnt cum in me but because of pre cum and i was ovulating it has me worrying day by day... i normally take raw garlic to make my period come faster i also have no discharge at all unless i push a finger in to check my cervix which i do everyday but i pray to go we both get our periods :) spreading period love!
