To think you probably can't get pregnant this way

[GlitterUnicornsAndAllThatJazz]

Hi all, very long time lurker, first time poster because something is really playing on my mind.

Normally very very careful with contraception, but I'm worried because of what happened a week ago.

Me and DP were messing around and the long and short of it is he "pleasured me digitally" (snort) with "spermy fingers". God sorry for the TMI.

I checked the app i use to track my period and that was apparently in my fertile window.

Can you put my mind at rest - its unlikely for that to cause pregnancy, right? But how unlikely? Like super unlikely or just unlikely?

You don't have twins in your family do you OP? Or would that require two globby fingers?

The next day after I must've conceived, my nipples started tingling. That was when I knew. Then followed by sore breasts. So that could be a sign. But my breasts used to hurt monthly anyway. But I'd never had the weird tingle before.

I'm utterly bewildered by the mechanics of oral sex, kissing, more oral sex She gives him a blow job, he comes in her mouth, they blowback kiss thus transferring globs to his mouth, he puts his spermy mouth on/around her vagina: job done.

The next day after I must've conceived, my nipples started tingling. That was when I knew. Then followed by sore breasts. So that could be a sign. But my breasts used to hurt monthly anyway. But I'd never had the weird tingle before.

That'll be progesterone levels, which rise after ovulation regardless. If you've had a stronger ovulation you can have higher progesterone levels, which might be why you happened to catch that month. You might also have ovulated two eggs meaning higher progesterone levels. However you're not pregnant the day after conception - the embryo is still in the fallopian tube and the body has no idea that's happened. The earliest day the embryo can implant is 5 dpo - this is when an embryo would be transferred in IVF. It won't secrete hCG and actually become pregnant once it's properly implanted a couple of days later minimum. Your nipples would have likely tingled regardless because of your natural post ovulation hormone levels that month. Although if you ovulated two eggs that could have made it more likely you'd have conceived that month!

Progesterone levels mimic early pregnancy symptoms. So in IVF when you're taking extra progesterone, it's really cruel because you can have all the symptoms of early pregnancy, but it's just the progesterone, sadly

Poor frothy op. Can you call the baby Jesus?
I might ask dp if he can pleasure me digitally. Very romantic.

Banana thanks for the explanation. It may have been a few days after I felt it. But not as many as 5 days. So must've been hormones then. I didn't experience it with my next 2 pregnancies.

You're so knowledgeable!

So do you think its pretty much impossible to get any symptoms whatsoever until after a period is due? And any "early symptoms" women say they experience are just the normal symptoms they would experience anyway, or possibly psychosomatic?

This thread is all kinds of hilarious.
Op - I hope you get the outcome you want

Sadly £40,000 of infertility treatment (and no bloody baby) makes you quite knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the reproductive system

You can definitely have symptoms before your period is due. You can get a faint positive as early as 8 or 9 dpo in some cases, although that's very unusual.

I felt different during the IVF cycle when I did fall pregnant than the cycle when I didn't. But equally that could just as easily been the progesterone. I was very noticeably pregnant very quickly as my boobs quadrupled in size by the time of my second blood test to confirm pregnancy 4 days after my positive pregnancy test

But many many women have no symptoms at all

Basically, symptoms before a missed period could be something, could be nothing. If you turn out to be pregnant you'll very possibly attribute normal symptoms to pregnancy. But you might not - some people have very definitive pregnancy symptoms (eg metallic taste) that aren't progesterone related. But it's biologically impossible to have any actual pregnancy symptoms until the embryo has implanted and you're actually pregnant. The body doesn't know conception has taken place (the egg has fertilised). It only knows when the fertilised egg has implanted.

No way to know until a missed period and you take a test!

Famous last words...

gushing discharge like a frothy coffee machine

But from the other thread, does it hit the gusset in the right place?

This needs to go into classics for the educational information as well as entertainment.

I think thats Thrush!

Thrush is cottage cheese, frothy is trichomonas and is an STI. Discharge should never be frothy...

@FlippingFoal
I got a bit carried away with my image. Its just normal clear discharge but lots of it!

My comment was lighthearted foal
Glitter l hope you get the result you want x

making up the numbers on the outing

Well, learn something new everyday on mumsnet! I'm kind of tempted to send this to a certain teen who has her first 'serious' boyfriend but i think she'd wake the neighbours squealing in horror.

I admire your courage in posting this in the first place. I couldn't!

"I have no idea how any of us have children when so many of us don't know things" erm isn't that kinda the point? People not realising that actually it can happen quite easily?

I was an accident (and forever resented by mum as a result), bro was planned and mum fell quickly with him, but sis was a weird one - they tried for a few years for her nothing happened, mum went on pill - hello sis!

My first pregnancy - pill as a teen - hadn't missed any, no contra meds or upset stomach, 2nd and 3rd took weeks to happen, I'm fairly certain dd (mc 1st 2 pregnancies) was a half hearted quickie as her dad was on crazy shifts at the time - standing too! So blows THAT myth out the water too. And I had symptoms before missed period every time too. Inc one I didn't necessary register but a friend did "you're defo pregnant" yep dd making her presence known very early on via massively oversensitive taste buds.

I've one friend conceived no 4 AFTER BOTH she and dh sterilised (no 3 was post vasectomy which was re-done) they now use condoms combined with careful timing so we'll see.

"do you think its pretty much impossible to get any symptoms whatsoever until after a period is due? "

The only symptom I got the 1st month or so was no period.

Anyway, to cut to the chase, OP, when is the earliest you can poas?
