Perfect condom use twice on fertile day. What’s the chances I’m pregnant as I have metallic taste and fatigue?

I have been pregnant 5 times over the last 4 or so years (3 miscarriages) and every time the egg implants I get instant symptoms like dizziness, metallic taste and fatigue. These symptoms usually show up before CD 21

My partner and I only had sex twice this month but it was during my fertile window. Used condoms they didn’t break or anything we are usually very careful as baby no2 was a surprise baby 🫢

CD 18 (6DPO) I get this instant feeling of fatigue and metallic taste. Had to go to bed early which I never ever do!
now CD 19 and the fatigue has hit again and also the metallic taste.

can this just be a hormonal imbalance or is it what I think it is?

Surely the chances are pretty slim to be pregnant while using condoms?

You’re not that anxious about it, or you would have POAS by now…

taking a test on cycle day 19? Bit pointless 😏

I don’t understand people that don’t read threads properly…

I’m looking for others experience and wondering what the chances are.

taking a test on CD19 is a bit pointless 😏

If you piss on your keyboard the internet can tell whether you are pregnant.

Or you could just take a test. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Just as another note …
my sister has been ttc for years and just failed her first IVF cycle 2 days ago 😔

this is not something she needs to hear it would absolutely break her right now

(kind of why I’m so anxious about it & the fact my partner’s mental health has been so bad since we had our second baby)

Have you been exposed to Covid? I had metallic taste with that, maybe a tad more tired than usual (no other symptoms, knew I wasn't pregnant due to age)

Alloveragain3 · 06/05/2023 16:14

I had all sorts of symptoms when I was ttc and the month I conceived I had no signs.

PMS can cause the same signs as pregnancy and if you're worried about being pregnant, your brain might be playing tricks on you.

While condoms aren't 100% reliable, this is generally because people don't use them right or they burst. If all the sperm stayed in the condom and there was no penetration without the condom, you're likely not pregnant.

We are 2 and done awaiting a vasectomy. So a bit anxious! No offence taken x

Unlikely I would say.

Not my business just curious, is this a wanted baby? Asking as you mentioned miscarriages. No offence intended and feel free not to answer if this crossed a line

AmandaHoldensLips · 06/05/2023 15:40

Metallic taste?
Yikes.
That was my tell-tale every time...

ArcticSkewer · 06/05/2023 15:40

Doubt you are but do update ...

I get those symptoms every time I am exposed to covid these days.

Thebigblueballoon · 06/05/2023 15:39

The concept of ‘perfect’ condom use doesn’t exist, so yes you could be pregnant. Only one way to find out.

Garethkeenansstapler · 06/05/2023 15:38

Take a test, the Internet can’t tell you.

MissHavershamReturns · 06/05/2023 15:37

It’s possible op. Max success rate is around 90% iirc with perfect use and can be as low as 65% with imperfect use iirc. Read a study on this at one point as i can’t take the pill.

Have you got any tests to hand?

lemonaddde · 06/05/2023 15:37

There's really only one way to find out, this is all just speculation over a few generic symptoms.
