To think I can have sex before period without getting pregnant.

[Applecrumble79]

I usually use condoms but around 2 days before my period I allow my partner to ejaculate inside me. He looks forward to this each month lol so I allow it as a treat.

I don’t want anymore children. I have been doing this for the past 2 years and seems to have worked so far.
I don’t do this anywhere near ovulation. Am I being risky?

@Elphie54
Yes it is gross
But mostly it's gross to see it as a 'treat' for a bloke.

Referring to being ejeculated in as a "treat" is making me physically sick.

No it's not risky. TWO DAYS before you're period, you are infertile. You're infertile 10-7days before your period, so two days you'll be fine.

Anyone who uses the natural family planning method knows this. The people who are giving you crap have no knowledge of this, as I didn't before I used this method.

^ bollocks!

What absolute rubbish, I work with people suffering actual infertility and your post is ridiculous

No it's not risky. TWO DAYS before you're period, you are infertile. You're infertile 10-7days before your period, so two days you'll be fine.

Stop spouting bullshit. A quick google would tell you you're talking rubbish!

Well this worked fine for us for years. And it is definitely a better experience for both partners to have sex without using a condom surely. Don’t know why posters are being snippy about that.

I didn’t get pregnant but another baby wouldn’t have been so bad for us. I don’t think I’d do this if a pregnancy would be a disaster.

What I’d worry about, if I was regular but I’m very much not, is your hormones changing as you get older and your cycle changes leading to late or double ovulation -twins are more common in older mums.

I have the copper coil and it’s great. Periods are not heavier, maybe even lighter, but seem to last a bit longer. Although I’ve had relatively few natural periods due to the pill etc and being irregular. I looked at sterilisation but there’s a risk of chronic pain, which I already have with a back injury.

Referring to being ejeculated in as a "treat" is making me physically sick.

Why?

He looks forward to this each month lol so I allow it as a treat. So much wrong with that!

Have used the rhythm method for years without getting pregnant. I track everything with an app and luckily get quite obvious ovulation pain.

Why is everyone grossed out about the “treat” thing?!! Her husband likes the feeling of ejaculating inside his wife instead of pulling out. What’s wrong with that?

You will eventually get pregnant though, basic biology

What have I just read? Are people really this thick or is this a troll thread?

I let my husband potentially get my pregnant once a month as a treat. Stfu

No way is this real.

Treat hahaha

What a risky treat as well hahaha

Did you read the post on here the other day from the girl debating a termination? Guess what method of contraception she was using? She had an app to track her fertile period so not just "sensing" when she was ovulating

Why on earth doesn't the op use some other form of contraception? Condoms are not the only alternative to the pill.

OP, explore the options for goodness sakes! Husband and I managed to avoid pregnancy without condoms after I came off the pill for years.

Nowadays you can buy something in reputable pharmacies, such as Boots or Lloyds, which accurately predict ovulation and when you are ovulating. Life is much easier from that pov.

Well, good luck op but you do need to grow up a bit. I have to say I didn't like condoms, glad I wasn't 'on the circuit' but well married when they came back in fashion and am quite sure my husband has never used one - but YOU do not need to!

Happy Christmas.

I don't agree it's a better experience without a condom. You say that like it's a given.
That's just the bullshit men say because they don't care about our safety or health.

If you track I think it’s low risk. After egg white mucus has gone

Presumably some people find PIV sex with a condom just as enjoyable as PIV sex without it. But many don’t, which is why the condom failure rate irl is 15% per year. That’s also why gay man take Truvada, so it’s just about systematic misogyny. Even for couples who’ve decided that they want to use condoms, a lot of them don’t fancy it when it comes to the moment of truth. As I said above, lots of people using NFP will use condoms at the wrong time of the month as a second-best option.

Let’s face it, there is a completely safe, free, 100% effective means of contraception available with zero side effects, and that’s to have non-PIV sex. Millions of lesbians (and many heterosexual couples for various reasons) have a perfectly lovely sex life without PIV. But most heterosexual couples don’t find that option enough for them - you can’t tell people what they should be happy with.

That said, I do agree with the general mood of the thread that if you really need to avoid pregnancy then especially as you get older and into perimenopause the OP’s approach is too risky.

That's just the bullshit men say because they don't care about our safety or health

I much prefer sex without a condom. Am I bullshitting?

I really don’t like the thought of chemicals in my body
Shame we have to eat food, and have all those chemicals making up our bodies then.

I had sex the day before my period was due (Regular as clockwork)
I was not on the pill, we didn't have condoms, we took the risk, I was going to take the MaP the next day.
We DtD, I took the morning after pill. I still fell pregnant with twins.
5 days before, 5 days after, or whatever else people believe is utter rubbish.

If you don't use protection, you are 100% at risk of pregnancy.
If you use protection you reduce the chance. It's simple.

Don’t know why the treat thing is such a big deal. It’s a running joke between me and my partner. Nothing wrong with that!!! Thanks to those that don’t find the statement cringey.
Ad no this is not troll post. Merry Christmas All
