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!

rogersmellyonthetelly · 09/11/2012 16:08

My God I've just pissed myself laughing. No really, can we have a warning in the title next time for those of us with compromised pelvic floors?
Seriously, I'd be bloody amazed. In fact I'd be astounded. But hey, do go and poas just to put your mind at rest so to speak, and let us know the result.

Have you done it yet???

RatherBeACyborg · 09/11/2012 16:17

I do know someone who got pregnant after her DH had had the snip, a rogue swimmer got through before he was declared sperm-free.

I've no idea about the other but I'm sure my sex-ed (dim & distant memory) did mention that sperm are tenacious little buggers and will find a way if given the opportunity.

valiumredhead · 09/11/2012 16:23

I know someone who got pregnant 3 YEARS after her dh had the snip - it's rare but possible.

McKayz · 09/11/2012 16:23

I am in hysterics at this thread.

valiumredhead · 09/11/2012 16:23

sperm are tenacious little buggers

So apt for this thread Grin

OscarPistoriusGirlfriend · 09/11/2012 16:26

Come back OP.

We need to know about your fart baby.

Sidge · 09/11/2012 16:28

So you used condoms for vadge sex but not for bum sex?

You loon.

Even disregarding the risk of pregnancy (which is low) you will have run the risk of the sweetcorn-in-the-japs-eye scenario which everyone knows happens to EVERYONE who has bumsex. True fact.

FobblyWoof · 09/11/2012 16:31
