To have unprotected sex even though we don't want to conceive.

[Seekingsense]

Planning to ttc in the near future so had Mirena coil removed in November so I could give my cycles chance to regulate prior to ttc.

Definitely do not want to conceive until at least March (various reasons).

LMP was 1st January and previous cycle was 38 days long. Been monitoring LH levels and no LH surge today.

Had a 'special' evening planned for DH and found out an hour ago that we've run out of condoms Local shop does not sell them and nearest supermarket is 30 minute drive away!

WIBU to go for it anyway? Realistically, I'm unlikely to conceive at this point in my cycle, am I?

Ahhhhh. Frustrated.

[Mellowandfruitful]

Just go for a non PIV alternative. Might make a nice change!

You can't always plan a child just when you want to, so as long as you don't mind when you conceive then why not.
We have 3 dc and just let nature take its course, no contraception unless we definitely didn't want one at that time. But never actually planned any

[FortyDoorsToNowhere]

Could you get the MAP in the morning.

Not 100% safe though.

[Mellowandfruitful]

But wouldn't the MAP potentially mess up the cycle as well?

[Noideaatall]

Don't rely on the morning after pill. That & a split condom are the reason I had DS2.

[FortyDoorsToNowhere]

It might, didn't with me after a condom split.

[Iwillorderthefood]

Don't do it, am pg wiith DC3 as did not think it was possible.

The danger with withdrawal isn't the risk of sperm in pre-ejaculatory fluid for the vast majority of men. Research suggests that most men do not leak sperm and the risk is from two ejaculations without urination in between. It's still in the pipes iyswim. Research shows perfect use of withdrawal is highly effective. It doesn't work as well as it should due to men not pulling out in time. There are a few exceptions to this of course but for a disciplined couple, it's a valid choice.

[LEMoncehadacatcalledSANTA]

Get him to pull it out that didn't result in DD2, oh no

[LEMoncehadacatcalledSANTA]

Gosh, im not sure i would plan on the MAP! all those hormones - no thanks, as an EMERGENCY form of contraception, fine, but aren;t you supposed to only have it three times?

If you really don't want to get pregnant then don't take a risk, but if it would just not be the right month then go for it and accept whatever fate throws at you.

[ShreddedHoops]

Oh no please don't use the MaP, I have used it a few times in my erm more carefree days, and it made me sick as a dog every time. and yes it will further mess with your cycle.

[BertieBowtiesAreCool]

What three times in your life?! I don't think so

I've taken it about 3 times already and I'm only 25 To be fair they were all in my teens.

[thenightsky]

MAP is vile and I threw up massively both times I took it. It did work though. Phew.

[Mabelandrose]

The map is not 100% reliable.

[Justforlaughs]

Neither is any contraception (as I should know! )

[ItsATIARA]

MAP and withdrawal aren't 100% reliable but neither are condoms, they're all much of a muchness. 69 OTOH is guaranteed 100% pregnancy free.

[KatieScarlett2833]

Took the pill for 8 years straight. GP said it would take about 6 months to conceive. Took 1 week.

[ToffeeOwnsTheSausage]

have sex and then go to your pharmacy tomorrow to get the morning after pill.""

What ridiculous advice!

"And while you are there, buy some condoms."

Much better advice.
