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!

I had a couple of stitches after giving birth, and has narrowed the distance between the 2 orifices < very genteel>, so an alpha TB swimmer could have got into the birth canal.

Please let us know the result. Suppose it also depends on your position during the act?

sweetkitty · 09/11/2012 17:16

What happened with the shampoo thread forgot about that one, did she have a poo?

MimsyBorogroves · 09/11/2012 17:19

I need to know.

I suppose if there was farting whilst you were lying on your front they could have trundled downwards and back in.

Imagining sperm with their maps out now.

I have no advice but have just logged on to MN after a manic week at work and and am ROFL, so thanks OP.

I thought was Nativity related. I was so wrong.

What a spirit of adventure.

ZillionChocolate · 09/11/2012 17:32

Er, good luck Miss Pants.

MaryZezItsOnlyJustNovember · 09/11/2012 17:32

She isn't going to come back is she Sad.

She's going to leave us never knowing whether you can get pregnant by farting.

Lol @ spunkypoosplash

ErikNorseman · 09/11/2012 17:53

Oh dear!

Btw I doubt she has a fistula (hole between vagina and anus) they are very rare and cause lots of problems. I don't think you could have one without knowing.

TheCunnyFuntWearingAPoppy · 09/11/2012 17:55

Pmsl at 'This terrain isn't what we expected' :o nearly crying with laughter here.

MissPants · 09/11/2012 17:59

I'm here! Sorry, after school chaos ensued.

So I poas, it was negative. Still no sign of period though and DH rightly pointed out that this early I should be testing with first morning wee. I'm quite impressed that he knows this actually!

Plan is to wait until Sunday and test again first thing if period hasn't materialised since then.

Still Blush at the entire thing. And thinking I should have nc for this!

Maybe you need to test up your bum?

Grin
MissPants · 09/11/2012 18:03

Now how would that work? Would I just stick it directly up there or poo in a cup and use the dipstick method?
