What are the chances?

[ladymary86]

AF is due in 3 days. I normally suffer with horrendous mood swings (PMDD) in the week before and this month has been noticeably more settled.
My partner and I DTD round about the time I ovulated and we normally use the withdrawal method for contraception. I think on one occasion this was slightly mistimed but I'm unsure.

I haven't had my usual PMDD symptoms, I've been feeling nauseated for about 4 days and I just have a "feeling" that I might be pregnant. My breasts are tender too but I usually get this before my period.
We are not actively trying to get pg but it wouldn't be unwelcome at all either.
I know there's no real way of knowing until I'm late but what are people's thoughts
Has anyone got pregnant attempting to use the withdrawal method for contraception?
Interested to hear

Anyone?

You had unprotected (because even if timed "properly", the withdrawal method isn't an effective form of contraception) sex around the time you ovulated, so yes you could be pregnant.

Pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms are very similar, and when you start symptom spotting you notice things you probably didn't notice before which are normal for you just before your period.

The only way you'll know is by doing a test.

@NannyPear let us know what the outcome is :)

I'm not going to do a test unless my period ends up being late but I will.
It's probably just wishful thinking but I do feel very very different.

Lots of people have said they just knew, or they felt different. So who knows, OP :) good luck!

Not pg
