To think you probably can't get pregnant this way

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?

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar
Well, period is due on the 19th, I'll give it until the 21st before feeling worried!

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.

Bloody hell! I'll have some of her spare fertile juju if there's any going around - we've reached the end of the road with IVF and miscarriage, unless we can find £200,000 for surrogacy (or someone wants to lend me their womb for 9 months to cook one of our embryos for us). I'll gladly swap some of my barren-ness if she wants to avoid pregnancy!!

I had the tingling nipples, which only happened when my first was conceived. Followed by sore breasts. Deffo get extra discharge too. I also had a funny taste in my mouth. A bit metallic. My second and third children were not planned. I was never great at taking the pill. I knew with both of them that I was pregnant. I could just tell. But no sore breasts with number 3 for some reason.
I hope you get the result you want.

Bananafish sorry you're going through that, she's the kind of person who would give you it too.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/01/2018 21:55

My friend got pregnant this way. Mary lou from 82 got pregnant that way.

Who actually discusses their child's conception

Waiting for someone to say ‘my husband wanked on the floor, it dried up and I trod in it days later and I still got pregnant with twins’
Some people on this thread are sooooo fertile.

GoldenBlue · 11/01/2018 22:34

I had symptoms at day 4 post ovulation for all of my pregnancies. I always knew before I could test.

Swollen boobs, strong dislike of coffee, indigestion, metallic taste and weirdly bleeding gums.

Many tests you can use at day 10 successfully

ZigZagIntoTheBlue · 11/01/2018 22:57

The clear blue ones can be done before period is due can't it?

Why am I reminded of th daft punk song digital loveGrin

mumof3boys33 · 12/01/2018 08:26

Yes goldenblue, I definitely knew too. It's a feeling I've never experienced any other time.

swingofthings · 12/01/2018 08:32

Totally agree blossom! As for symptoms you can get a lot of mentally induced one amazing what the brain can do to make you believe something but true physiological symptoms can't occur 4 days after ovulation as the hormones that causes them are not released until implementation and that takes about 4-5 days. It then takes a few days for the hormones to start releasing and the levels to reach a certain stage for symptoms to start so at best 10 days after ovulation exceptionally maybe 7 but certainly not 4!

GlitterUnicornsAndAllThatJazz · 13/01/2018 10:16

@swingofthings
Well yesterday my face just exploded into spots 😣😣 I don't know if that means anything but I normally get one juicy spot 3 or 4 days before my period. Now I have about 10 non juicy spots all over my face. Maybe its just unhealthy living over christmas rising to the surface?

If youre having hormonal symptoms then a test should be accurate

Isn't this how Boris Becker fathered a child?

OhWotIsItThisTime · 13/01/2018 19:38

Boris Becker gathered a child in a cupboard. Which does not bring new meaning to the term ‘cupboard love’.

OhWotIsItThisTime · 13/01/2018 19:38

fathered (stupid phone)

Badbadtromance · 13/01/2018 19:49

Ii I remember correctly BB got the woman pregnant after the lady kept the condom

FundayMorning · 13/01/2018 19:54

She kept the condom?? Used?? And spermy fingered herself?!!!!!

He claimed it was actually on stairwell at Nobu in London in a daily fail article

@ChickenVindaloo2
Be sure to stock up on wet wipes and a penis beaker for next time.

OMG I remember the penis beaker!!

Crustyoddsocks · 14/01/2018 03:46

the penis beaker is why I joined mumsnet if only poor boris had known he would have been Penis boris beaketGrin

Bobbiepin · 14/01/2018 07:53

Hey OP, how long until you can test?

InspMorse · 14/01/2018 08:22

This video (miracle of creation - You tube) suggests that the jet blasting of sperm up there at the start is pretty crucial but you never know, some of them are determined buggers.
Glad you got coil sorted OP.

Oscha · 14/01/2018 08:40

God, this is the kind of stuff that used to terrify me as a teenager! I’d get a first response and test a couple of days before your periods due. (And then test compulsively, daily, until your period arrives. But that might just be me!)

GlitterUnicornsAndAllThatJazz · 14/01/2018 09:51

@Bobbiepin
Hey! I'm due on Friday so i won't test until the Monday after, dont want to go through the early testing and potentially inaccurate outcomes thing.

I feel quite confident I'm not pregnant though as I don't have any symptoms and I've been over on the conception subsection where everyone is swapping symptoms during their "2 week wait" and people are experiencing things like spotting, cramping, funny tastes etc.
