Pull out while ovulating

Hoping for some advice , my last period was on the 22nd of march. Lasted around 5-6 days . I went away with my partner for the weekend of the 31st march . Had unprotected sex that Saturday morning and night and used the pull out method. Stupid of us both but we were drinking and had no condoms . We are both fully aware of the risk he knows I’ve been off the pill ( we use condoms usually) for the last few months. My cycles are usually 27-28 days and now I’m panicking that I was in peak ovulation time ?! Has anyone been in this situation? Neither of us know what to think and if we are stressing for no reason .

Oh for fuck's sake, you ain't getting pregnant without any sperm people. Imagine if you posted that you were trying to conceive using the pull out method, you'd get equally judgemental comments.

You never heard of pre-cum?

You never heard of pre-cum?

Yeah, do you know how rare it is for pre cum to contain live sperm? Again, imagine someone saying 'we're trying to conceive using only pre-cum...'

@Scalottia might not be stupid but definitely a bully

A bully for having an opinion. Righto then.

Actually just more shocked that people are still so uneducated in the topic of reproduction.

@issyb8 No I am not looking to be rude, but you posted on a public forum, you're going to get opinions that you aren't going to like.

Ttcmumma · 18/04/2023 11:04

@Scalottia you came on here swearing and putting her down because she came on her for advice? That's not an opinion that's just rude. Why come on here if you're not looking to offer support but to just judge? Also I used pull out method for 5 years and it worked fine thanks and before you judge me, I wasn't fussed if I got pregnant so didn't mind risking it but nonetheless, it can be effective for some people as not all men's precum is fertile. I then went on to fall pregnant within a few months of stopping pull out method and have no issues with fertility.

Hey hun, I still keep an eye on this thread so you’re more than welcome to stick around and keep each other updated . I’m really not sure what to think I’ve had cramps all week starting Monday and fuller feeling boobs . Last night I was convinced I’d get a period early because of the cramping but nothing yet and I’m roughly 12dpo . I also get uti’s all the time so the frequent peeing I’m not sure about as I usually do that leading up to my period anyway . I’m going to keep waiting my cycle is classed as regular but can be anywhere between 25 days and 29 so I’m trying to just wait it out and see if AF arrives and if not by Wednesday or Thursday I’ll test x

Slightly off topic but have you tried d-mannose for your UTI's OP? Brilliant stuff, you can get it from Holland & Barrett or online from Sweet Cures, stopped my frequent UTI's completely. Sorry you've had a hard time on here, hope everything turns out the way you'd like

so update... my period came but its lighter than usual looks like its gonna last for about 3 days because i had only 1 full pad and 1 half full pad but its going slow... im not sure if i should be worried out what but i need info... :(

whatapalavaaa · 20/04/2023 06:07

Been our sole method of contraception for ten years except when trying for dc, which happened in first then second cycle so clearly very fertile. I wouldn’t worry just yet, there’s nothing that can be done now anyway.

Noone on here can help you. Go to the Dr. if you are concerned, or do a test.

Bojosfringe · 20/04/2023 10:46

Do you know when you ovulate for sure? Some people think they ovulate on a certain date but actually don't and can be quite way off.

Scalottia · 20/04/2023 15:20

Don't go by dates for ovulation, go by symptoms. Dates can vary.
