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.

Melsy, I was going to write a reassuring post telling you not to worry, but considering my assumed situation (and all the other posts on this thread) I won't really stop you worrying.

I guess it depends on so many things: how fertile you are, your dh's sperm, how close to ovulation. I'm so sorry to panic you though. Hopefully you will get the outcome you want

I have six days till I'm due so hopefull it will come. Now I will prob delay it due to worry.

Its a shock!!!

may be I should get a test too, but I am feeling pre menstrual pain today. I THINK!!!

I'm getting worried again too (sorry to hi-jack your'e good news thread Celandine) but I haven't got my AF back yet and am BF all the time.

Ho-hum only one way to find out

What is AF suzy???

Auntie Flow= period

LOL havent heard of that one b4.

Melsy, I have 4 days til I'm due so we're about the same. Have you got any symptoms though? It didn't even occur to me that I might be pregnant until I started feeling symptoms around 4dpo.

suzywong - sorry I forgot to rely to your question about breastfeeding. No, I'm not - I stopped after about 10 weeks and I've had two periods before this one is due (I think)

I heard a joke once:
What do you call people who use the Withdrawal Method?
Mum and Dad!

Anyway, I do hope that everyone's situation is resloved in a way that makes them happy

Not in my case, Blu (phew!)

Any nooze, Sooze?

We had our little girl in 2015 since then I have been on no contraception and nothing has happened. My partner and I have separated and I rekindled with an ex recently and have a few questions, sorry for the TMI , we had sex twice one night with the pull out method and once the next night same method. My last period started on 28th Feb, it's usually the 1 of the month I've been looking up that I would be fertile the 8th and 9th and ovulate on the 12th I had sex in the 8th and 8th would the pull out have been effective ? We have spoken about it and feel we would both be happy if I was and is there anyway to increase the chances of it happening as it was a fertile window but not ovulation day ? We live far apart so it's not easy to do the obvious and have more sex .
