Accidentally conceiving from withdrawal method?

[celandine]

Is this so rare as to be not worth the worry? Has it happened to anyone?

I ask because DH and I did this 4 days ago, on the day I was ovulating, and now I'm feeling rather paranoid that I'm pregnant. My symptoms are sore breasts and lots of gloopy discharge, something - eek!- I think I recall from my first pregnancy. Ejaculation was definitely outside the vagina but I know the other fluid emitted before can sometimes contain sperm.

I've got a 5 month old son and we definitely wanted to wait a little longer before another one! I know, dumb not to use contraception, particularly on the ovulation day, but it was actually only the 2nd time we've had penetrative sex since I gave birth due to me not feeling like it, so it all happened a little unexpectedly.

I know I'm probably worrying for nothing, and TBH I personally wouldn't be devasted if I was pregnant, but I know DH would be terrified.

I'm not really sure how you can tell if you're 'ultra-fertile', but I had no trouble conceiving DS1 after just a month of trying.

That doesn't necessarily mean ultra-fertility. I conceived dd1 without trying at all (and there was me, swearing I could use the rhythm method no problems) but it took six months to conceive dd2.

Mind you, that's pretty good going in your late 30s so perhaps I am after all.

The withdrawal method of contraception should only be used if you don't mind accidentally falling pregnant

I am not advocating it but DH and I have used this method for 8 years and have only been pregnant 3 times, by choice(ish). Spare you the ish details.

Oh f*ck.

I'm much too old to get pregnant again, aren't I?

Have to say that ne and dp have done this loads of times (stupid i know) and it hasn't yet resulted in pregnancy.

not brave, just seizing one of those rare moments of inclination IYKWIM.

Not brave, just stupid

Just thought I'd add to the numbers and say that DS2 was a result of this too!

oooooops, girls, look at celandine's new thread...I AM premenstrual, I AM I AM...

Oooops indeed. As per my new thread I reckon I now have the answer to my question - can you accidentally concieve from withdrawal method - it's YES YES YES!

Motherinferior - in a way I wish I was pre-menstrual, but then again I loved being pregnant so it might be a nice 9 months ahead for me. It's just the thought of another baby that scares me!

Congratulations Celandine!

Celandine - I thought on your other thread you just said it might be an evaporation line? Have I missed something?? I'm confuuuuuuuused.

Wow Celandine, I thought you nickname was familiar on the other thread.
Congratulations

God this has got me worried. Dh and I did IT!! for the first time since before preggers and we didnt put the condom on straight away UH OH. I had even written on here about SEVERE ovulation pain the day before at bout 16 days into cycle, but I got extremely turned on for first time in a long time and didnt think. I am going to be sooooo worried whilst waiting for period. ShT ShT ShT ShT Sh*T. DD is only 4 months and I had TERRIBLE birth. Really really really worried now. Didnt want 2nd one till nxt year.

Sorry everyone - I've somehow got two threads going now, which is very greedy of me. I shall have to drop one, just can't decide which!

The facts are that I've taken a test which came out negative yesterday and now it's positive cos a faint pink line has appeared.

I feel pregnant and am sure I am, have actually convinced myself I am but have jumped the gun a bit by announcing I am Sorry - I'm too revved up. I'll let you all know when I'm 100% sure.

Ok, I've dropped the other thread now. Sorry if I confused anyone

Wasnt sure if u would go back to other thread, see below:

Are you sure they are not ovulation symptoms. I had the same symptoms before my naughty episode on your other thread.I never got them before baby around ovulation.

celandine are you still BF btw?
I just remembered I am in a similar situation to you and melsy - we all got the 4 month frisky feeling-but I am 100% ignoring it

I didnt know about the 4 month thing any more info on that??

Celadine are u there???

sooreee celaNdine. DD's crying is bothering me,must get her from cot.

Melsy, my dh didn't even ejaculate until a few minutes AFTER he'd withdrawn, so I really am stunned about how it happened. Saying that of course we did do it on my ovulation day, if I've charted correctly. I had bad ov pains on, before and after that day. We also did it 5 days before ov day, but dh didn't ever ejac, even when he pulled out so I'm kind of discounting that session for some reason.

If I really am pregnant (see my other thread on test changing from neg to pos) I am truly stunned at how careful people should be.

Melsy it's just that we all seem to have got horny 4 months after the babies were born and hadf quickies without protection.
Have a look at the beginning of this thread.
It's not a medical term
