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?

Can you get symptoms that are exactly like PMS and be pregnant?

OP posts:
smileygrapefruit · 19/01/2018 18:35

Early pregnancy symptoms can be v similar to pms

Mustang27 · 19/01/2018 18:36

Early symptoms can be very similar but I definitely don't see a line. I kinda wanted you to be pregnant sorry just for the sheer weirdness. Plus babies are great even from slightly disabled sperm that's had to pretty much climb Everest lol. I'd pretty much put that babe down for world domination.

GlitterUnicornsAndAllThatJazz · 19/01/2018 18:38

@Mustang27
😂

Yeah I know what you mean, in my moments alone I realised that I really, really didn't want to be pregnant, but I knew that a negative would really be letting the MN crew down 😂 I also see absolutely nothing and the feeling I have is just unmistakenly the feeling of coming on.

So on that basis....to the tequila!!!!!

Yes you can, it happened to me with my 3rd dc. I was convinced my period was due until I realised it was a week late.
If I were you I would test again in a couple of days if your period doesn't arrive.

LaurieMarlow · 19/01/2018 18:47

I definitely don't see a line there. Relax. Anxiety can delay your period too.

Youcanstayundermyumbrella · 19/01/2018 18:48

That is a completely clear test.

Tink2007 · 19/01/2018 18:48

That test is completely negative.

Nquartz · 19/01/2018 19:24

Seems a very definite negative to me.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread, the sperm descriptions had me in stitches Blush

lostinblankers · 19/01/2018 19:31

Thank you for sharing, op.

Enjoy the tequila but be careful about drunk sex.

Rebeccaslicker · 19/01/2018 19:31

Oh aye, it's one of the fabulous things about the female body.

Moody? Sore tits? Cramps? Tired? Hungry? Sick? Disturbed sleep or weird dreams? Is it pregnancy? Is it PMT? Is it perimenopause?

WHO THE FUCK KNOWS???! That's the fun of it.... 🙄

I'm really sorry, but I think I saw a faint line, also. I even double checked myself by inverting it (although I know some people hate it when people invert tests), and although it is very faint, it is there. Having said that, it's so faint that I suppose it could be just strike through of the impression for the positive result, rather than a positive result itself? You'll soon know if your period appears.

In my early pregnancies, though, I was convinced I would miscarry, because I felt just like I would 'come on' all the time.

namechange987 · 19/01/2018 20:52

Yes. I can see something above the horizontal line.

AmazingGrace16 · 19/01/2018 20:57

Sorry op I think I see something. Has period day arrived?

Needmorechocolate · 19/01/2018 21:24

Looks like negative to me. If your period still hasn’t come yet then maybe test again tomorrow or in a couple of days

sourpatchkid · 19/01/2018 21:32

There's no line there! Drink, you're fine.

Ethylred · 19/01/2018 22:00

Preying on your mind, not playing.

Thank you, I 'm happy to troll help.

Blueink · 19/01/2018 22:26

Did ur period come? U can’t rely on the test to rule out an early pregnancy, the risk has to have been at least 3 weeks ago to be reliable.

Toomanynamestoremember · 19/01/2018 22:47

OP, haven’t laughed like this in ages!!! Definitely Classics worthy material

GlitterUnicornsAndAllThatJazz · 20/01/2018 11:07

@Blueink
Nope period a day late now

pandarific · 20/01/2018 11:18

Can you get one of those first response tests, just to be super-extra certain? Those are meant to be great.

I can see nothing tbh.

GlitterUnicornsAndAllThatJazz · 20/01/2018 11:29

@pandarific

I'll give it all of today and tomorrow before I start getting concerned.

The weird thing is yesterday morning I had that feeling it was about to come. You all know the feeling I mean right, the one that happens a few hours before the blood starts flowing? Its not your other PMS symptoms, its a really hard sensation to explain. I guess it's like an almost warm and glowing pressure on your lower abdomen, almost like you have a chakra there that's opening up and you're like "uh oh.....there she bloooooooows!"

So it was just weird to get that very specific feeling and nothing.

keepingbees · 20/01/2018 11:36

I think I can see a v v v faint shadow of a line, but those blue tests are known for it so I would test again with a pink dye one
