Ok I am never late.

I know I'm not pregnant.

I am 6 days late for my period. I felt sick this morning.

DH had a vas 7 years ago.

He doesn't keep asking me if I'm pregnant, he is convincing me that I'm not!

I fell pregnant on the pill and with the IUD in place.. what are the chances of it happening again?

Sallystyle · 23/07/2016 21:12

Two separate occasions.. I didn't have the IUD and take the pill at the same time!

WhatTheActualFugg · 23/07/2016 21:47

U2 your DH obviously has Super Spunk. You'd better take a test.

MrsHathaway · 23/07/2016 22:10

Worth a POAS, U2. Hope you get the right answer.

Mary can't have REMAINED remained a virgin because Jesus had brothers (and possibly unmentioned sisters, because girls are not important) and God didn't (directly) create them.

Sallystyle · 23/07/2016 23:06

I will give it a week.

I won't be pregnant. I can't be. The chances are so slim it's not really worth thinking about yet is it?

Onesieisthequeensselfie · 23/07/2016 23:16

trills yup. I don't think Mary remained a virgin after she married Joseph. IIRC she and Joseph actually married when Jesus was conceived. Hence the "explaination" from the powers that be.

But don't take my word for it. I've learned more things from this thread than years of Sunday m school ever did. And it's tons a lot more interesting too Grin

Onesieisthequeensselfie · 23/07/2016 23:17

*Mary and Joseph weren't married when Jesus was conceived.

MrsHathaway · 23/07/2016 23:21

No, it's not worth thinking about unless you're particularly keen on liver and drink a bottle of gin a night.

Good luck anyway.

Theydontknowweknowtheyknow · 23/07/2016 23:24

To be honest the Hmm in me always thought that Mary and Joseph got carried away with a bit of "how's your father?" behind the camel shed and when Mary's Dad got mad she was all like "I didn't do anything Pops, it was God!"

Which also explains why Joseph married a pregnant woman, because he was the one who got her that way and felt guilty.

Makes perfect sense. I tried it on my Dad once but he was having none of it Grin so fair play to Mary for pulling it off.

DropYourSword · 23/07/2016 23:24

You've got to wonder why Mary and Joseph didn't get married as soon as she found out she was pregnant. Could have fudged the dates slightly and none would be any the wiser.

Owllady I properly laughed out loud at your comment.

HamAlive · 23/07/2016 23:31

Ah but sword, I wonder how far along she was when she found out? No digital test telling her she was an hour pregnant Grin

DropYourSword · 23/07/2016 23:37

I always imagined she had an early heads up. Surely God is more accurate than a FRER.

Rrross1ges · 23/07/2016 23:44

U2 is your husband called Colin?

coughingbean · 24/07/2016 00:18

Do you think Jesus's,Jesus, jeuseses??
Siblings felt really left out?
Like would they start a thread on AIBU titled "AIBU to be pissed off wit my so called son of God brother?"

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 24/07/2016 01:02

Imagine going up through school with Jesus as your eldest sibling cough

Poor kids.

'Your brother always shared and did his homework.'

VenusRising · 24/07/2016 01:31

Jesus may have had siblings, but he was born without a belly button, just Adam and Eve. He sprang forth in Bethlehem as a fruit.
Mary wasn't doing a line with anyone before she was up duffed by God via an angel the size of a pin. See, it only takes one.

Sin and large main course of guilt is an essential faith choice for Catholics and Jews.
Otherwise what would the mamas have to carp about, and all those NuYoik movies would be no fun at all.

Keep us posted U2.

PrincessFiorimonde · 24/07/2016 01:41

Catholic doctrine is that Mary DID remain a virgin, even after marrying Joseph.

Biblical mention of Jesus's brothers is explained, IIRC, by saying that the original Greek word used could mean either 'brother' or 'cousin'.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 24/07/2016 02:42

Iirc, Joseph wasn't going to marry Mary when he found out she was pg, but someone (probably Gabriel) went to see him and put him straight, told him she was Special and bearing the Son of God and was still pure, so suck it up old man and marry her and be nice.

Might have paraphrased that a bit.

I didn't know she was supposed to have remained a virgin afterwards though - didn't that just become her honorary title, like John-the-Baptist? Y'know, Mary-the-Virgin-Mother? I mean, there were all the other kids too and it's a REAL stretch to say they weren't all brothers but cousins!

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 24/07/2016 02:43

Glad you're sorted, Eve - no flaming swords of Damocles hanging over your head now then? Wink (might have mixed a few things up there, not sure)

And U2 - fingers crossed for you too.

MargotLovedTom · 24/07/2016 02:54

Religion is a load of claptrap and big hairy bollocks.

Are you Martin Luther? Grin
The Catholic Church does indeed believe in Mary's perpetual virginity. I think this was one of the beliefs called into question during the Reformation.

sashh · 24/07/2016 08:17

Not according to RC teachings. But then RC teachings include baptism to get rid of the sin of Adam whilst also saying Adam didn't exist.

Also ladies this is why periods are sometimes called 'the curse' as in the curse of Eve - yep we are all being punished every month for a mythical woman handing an apple to a bloke.

Oh and just to add to the debate, it is possible to give birth and still have an intact hymen.
