To think it's unlikely I'm pregnant?

If I had my first day of period on 1st January then had sex 3 times (pulled out all three times) on 12/13th of January, is it unlikely I'm pregnant? I haven't been feeling amazing and my boyfriend is freaking out I'm pregnant. Period not due until the 29th January.

You could definitely be pregnant! Do a test

Riverlee · 25/01/2024 19:32

Any unprotected sex could lead to pregnancy. It maybe unlikely, but it’s still possible. In many ways, it’s a 50:50 chance. You’re either pregnant, or you’re not.

This reminds me of that old joke - "What do you call people who use the withdrawal method?"
"Parents."

Londonrach1 · 25/01/2024 19:34

Do you want to be pregnant? Sex can lead to pregnancy...if worried take a test.

Thatbloodyhedge · 25/01/2024 19:34

How naive?

Dragonsandcats · 25/01/2024 19:34

i would think it’s quite possible. if he’s freaking out he should have worn a condom

BackPainMisery · 25/01/2024 19:38

One of my children is from the withdrawal method. Take a test. However usually symptoms of pregnancy don’t start until 6w.

GreyhpundGirl · 25/01/2024 19:41

Pull out/ withdrawal isn't contraception. Of course you could be pregnant. Do a rest.

KrisAkabusi · 25/01/2024 19:43

You've been having unprotected sex. Of course you could be pregnant!

PrudeyTwoShoes · 25/01/2024 19:48

I'd say it's actually quite likely. If you take the 'average' cycle, people tend to ovulate around the middle of it (when you had intercourse the 3 times).

FYI, my newphew was conceived using the pull of method.

Take a test. It's not too early.

Crunchymum · 25/01/2024 19:49

You've just had unprotected sex smack, bang in your ovulation window.

Alwaystired23 · 25/01/2024 19:51

It's possible you could be pregnant. You had sex 3 times with no contraception, so 🤷‍♀️. Take a test.

MsDoorway · 25/01/2024 19:56

Yeah, you've had unprotected sex right when you would have ovulated... it's very likely you're pregnant if you're both fertile.

If you want to have sex and not get pregnant, use contraception.

Mangotango39 · 25/01/2024 20:33

I had a 'pull out' pregnancy last time (mc sadly)
You have had sex x3 right in your window so yes it's likely.

Annieawakelate · 25/01/2024 21:04

Pulling out, freaking out, and moving out by the sound of things. But glad you're glowing.

AhBiscuits · 25/01/2024 21:08

Definitely possible.

LousySpice · 25/01/2024 21:12

It's not 'likely' if he pulled out, but it is possible.

I don't think you need to be extremely anxious, but you need to calmly take a test.

greasypolemonkeyman · 25/01/2024 21:25

How can peoplebe this uneducated? Seriously , we are taught it all the way through high school 🤷🏼‍♀️.

If I penis going into your vagina, there is ALWAYS a chance of pregnancy. Even with a vasectomy or condom or pill. It's still a risk. But sticking a penis in there. When it's fully loaded AND in your fertile window THREE times and honestly it will be a bloody miracle if you are not pregnant. Even if he pulled up. Pre-cum still contains millions and millions of sperm.

Muchof · 25/01/2024 21:28

You really could not have timed that any better to increase the odds. 🤷‍♀️

Namechange1267 · 25/01/2024 21:29

There is potential, don’t panic take an early detection pregnancy test. Anxiety can also make you feel off / sick. There is other reasons.

While it’s not a full proof method I had a friend use this method inbetween kids (and it wasn’t a big deal a whoops happened)

You have options and time if it’s positive to talk though all options.

if it’s negative I would stick to safer contraception options and even double up (pill and condom)

Everyone makes mistakes and people piling on you right now won’t be helping. Just take a test and go from there. Wishing you the best outcome for you!

PerfectTravelTote · 25/01/2024 21:35

Why do you think it's unlikely?

Roadtripwithkids999 · 25/01/2024 21:37

I have a friend who has 3 kids who where using the withdrawal method. I'm still baffled why they still use that method as all 3 where a 'surprise' and she still swears by it. 🤔

HiCandles · 25/01/2024 21:46

Take a test, it's not too early. If it's negative do another if period doesn't come as usual.
There is definitely a chance of pregnancy.
If you aren't - please take this scare as the wake up call to get your contraception sorted. Next month it'll be the same story otherwise!

34weekmess · 25/01/2024 21:55

This was my exact period date, and sex dates when I conceived my first dc.
You're right in your fertile window. Very likely, pulling out don't mean anything !!
