If you don't want to get pregnant you're daft to do this. Absolutely daft.

Fairylea · 19/12/2016 08:18

Oh sorry I've just seen this is conception. So I'm guessing getting pregnant would be okay? Grin

Why?

Are you waiting for a full cycle, as advised by some midwives, so you can date the pregnancy? If so, it's not a disaster if you conceive. Otherwise, no.

Condoms?

That's the number one lesson they teach you in sex Ed I think!

Thanks everyone!

We arn't using it so as to definately not get pregnant. We are in the right position to have a baby so it wouldnt be the end of the world!. I used to take a strong pill and for quite a long time without taking breaks so i was told it could take a long time to get back to normal, and tbh i am a complete control freak and i would go POAS crazy if i had a long cycle! So its more personal preference to try and wait for a pattern in cycle length. We were using condoms but i hate them! It just seems like its a lot more complex then they told us at school to make a baby so i thought better to ask the opinion of MN instead!

You're a better woman than I am if you can stick to withdrawal when pregnancy would be a welcome outcome

But anyway - diaphragm might work?

It's bloody hard for most of us to get pregnant when we are attempting it with gusto, let alone using the withdrawal method! But I still wouldn't recommend it as a form of contraception or anything.

My sister got pregnant whilst using the pull out method. I really wouldn't advise it if you don't want to risk a pregnancy

Pre-cum???

Rikalaily · 21/12/2016 10:11

Me and ex used that method when we planned no.3. I stopped taking the pill in March and planned to wait for it to clear my system and ttc properly after April to avoid a Christmas baby... No.3 is 10 tomorrow, I got pregnant within a week or so of coming off the pill, lol.

Just don't worry about it - if getting pg is your ultimate aim then relax, enjoy the sex and what will be will be.

conkerpods · 21/12/2016 12:54

Yes it happened to me. A colleague had done it for years and never got pregnant so I thought it would work for us Hmm
We used withdrawal for about 3 cycles and then I got pregnant. He always pulled out in time but it must have been the Pre swimmers that did it. It was a very happy surprise. Subsequent planned pregnancies were conceived on 1st of 2nd cycle so very fertile.

Easy answer- yes. I currently have a 5 week old.
