To ask you to tell me that immaculate conception isn't possible? (TMI, embarrassing and GRIM)

OK, so maybe not immaculate. In fact if conception occurred it was v v messy indeed.

Background. DH and I have 5 DC, 12, 9, 7, 2 and 6mo. Youngest was induced 6 weeks early due to liver difficulties that have escalated for my last 3 pg. He had an awful time and was in HDU with breathing difficulties, jaundice, excessive weight loss. He is on the up now but watching him go through that reaffirmed my decision not to have more DC (as if we weren't sure anyway!) so as not to put another baby through such an iffy start.

So DH went for the snip, we are a week away from first semen test and have been super super careful using condoms. So far so responsible.

About 11 days ago we decided to venture into "back door territory" and the plan was for him to whip it out before the big moment and finish elsewhere. Well it was an enlightening experience, culminating in DH removing the tool a fraction too late followed by a series of loud comical farts that left us collapsed in fits of giggles. The more I giggled the more farts came out, which prolonged the giggling. There was mess. Lots of it, but I wasn't worried as it was all over the border from fanjoland so to speak... washed up and went to bed having disposed of my last remaining shred of dignity and both of us resolving to leave the potting of the brown forever in the realms of the unspoken.

But now I'm late. Due on the 7th and no signs so far. Early days I know, but it's been like clockwork since DS2 arrived. It can't be though can it? Aside from the obvious misplacement of the necessary materials, surely even if sperm are still present it should be a low enough count to make it unlikely this long after the snip?

I KNOW I KNOW you have to wait for 2 tests to be clear before resuming unprotected intercourse but it just seems.so unlikely that IF there are still some there they have managed to find their way from my arse/back to my cervix?? Are their homing beacons that good?? Did my farts propel them over the border?

Oh god I am frantic...

So AIBU to ask you to tell me I'm being a stupid arse and it's not possible? It's twofold unlikely right? Sorry if I've ruined anyone's breakfast!

Midwives have heard it all, I'm sure....Smile

TigerFeet · 09/11/2012 15:25

Well OP??!!

Regardless of the poas outcome, you tell a good story. I've been struggling to avoid office snorting.

loopylou6 · 09/11/2012 15:25

I am absolutely unashamingly ( is that even a word? ) marking my place.

SpottyTeacakes · 09/11/2012 15:27

Grin shamelessly marking place

Fillybuster · 09/11/2012 15:27

Absolutely glued to this thread.

Any news OP?

everybodysang · 09/11/2012 15:27

I will second. Have snorted with laughter so hard that a bit of biscuit is stuck up my nose.

Obviously, it's very serious for you OP, but oh my goodness...

MrsLHofstadter · 09/11/2012 15:28

Marking place and seconding that this needs to go in classics.

supergirl123 · 09/11/2012 15:28

Does anyone else remember a thread similar to this a few years back?

Someone posted about their friend who concieved this way and referred to the resulting child as her 'ass baby'. pmsl!

Surely somebody else remembers?

I only remember because everytime dh has broached the subject of bum sex I break down laughing about ass babies Wink

Marking my place Grin

ginnybag · 09/11/2012 15:28

I've gotten pregnant without dtd, without really even removing clothes.

I also got pregnant with DD whilst on the pill and using a condom.

There are reasons DH and I don't go near each other much anymore!

I'd wonder, too, though about some sort of very small tear in the wall. Seems more likely than, er, gas-powered splashage! If you are pregnant, I'd make yourself be honest and ask them to check.

SoupDragon · 09/11/2012 15:32

If you are pregnant that's one hell of a story to tell dc when they ate older!

Er, no it isn't. Really, it isn't! Try to imagine a conversation with your parents in which it was revealed that you were the result of them trying out bumsex and getting "mess" everywhere.

I mean seriously?!

shrimponastick · 09/11/2012 15:34

Wow.

Any news yet OP??

blondiedollface · 09/11/2012 15:38

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 09/11/2012 15:40

Shameful place marking

Rachog · 09/11/2012 15:41

That was supposed to say bart the fart. Auto correct ruined my joke!

StuntNun · 09/11/2012 15:42

Are we being kept in suspense?

MummyPig24 · 09/11/2012 15:45

The suspense is killing me!

JollyJack · 09/11/2012 15:47

With 5 dcs already it might be tough for the op to find time to poas.

MaryZezItsOnlyJustNovember · 09/11/2012 15:48

I'm marking my place too.

Just 'cos I'm nosy Grin

TerrorNotSoFrightened · 09/11/2012 15:51

I'm showing DH this thread just for 5dc's story.
He is convinced it couldn't happen. He is getting nowhere near me.

"On a serious note, if the mess left the back door and coated the front, then some may have slipped through the letterbox. It is possible, though not probable. "
