The. Condom. Slipped. OFF!!!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I have to let off some steam...

I have a lovely yummy 5 month old DD and DP and I have been talking about when we'd have our next. So we decided we'd wait till she was 8months then decide what we were going to do.

So I dutifully let all notions of having another baby go until DD is 8 months. Until Saturday night...

We were doing the business... and something didn't feel right but I left it go till we finished and DP noticed that the condom had slipped off... and well I'm sure you can imagine the rest.

OH THE SHAME!!!

SO anyway I'm not on the pill, I was breastfeeding and was on the mini pill but finished the last pack about three weeks ago. My last period was 23 - 28 october...

So what happens now??? I don't want to tell family because it turns out they're not all that pleased I had DD, I'm only 22, but they love her etc etc.

I'm not panicking too much, this is what i wanted, just not as planned as I wanted. DP is being very relaxed about it, just wants to wait and see and not telk about it till we know whether I am or not.

I think I'm looking for hugs!

They had to accept that I had had sex for a strat LOL

PinkTinsel · 13/11/2006 22:55

lol, i'm 22 and have 2 already, my parents got over it fairly quickly once they realised i didn't give a stuff about their opinion.

having 2 close together is lovely, and anyway theres no guarantee your pregnant at all so relax and don't worry about it for a few weeks til you can do a test

oh, and {{{hugs}}}

Oh well I think they've known about the sex for a while, poor things. They just don't want to admit it!

Also, my father calls himself Uncle instead of Grandad, again, denial!

Chances are you're not, all things considered (although not, admittedly, chances I'd like to take all else being equal). There's only a 20-25% chance of conceiving in any given cycle even if timing is perfect.

I once had to have slipped-off-and-lost-seemingly-forever condom retrieved from the depths of my fanjo by a GP armed with a pair of tongs. That was distinctly embarassing... and resulted in my going on the pill in the first place (several years pre-TTC).

You'll be OK if you are pregnant, though -- at least, friends who have DCs that close together say that it was tremendously hard work when the DCs were small but when they were a bit older it was great having them so close together.

Lemonaid how long was it there before you got to te doctor? Ewwww!

AT least my ordeal wasn't that bad, I was able to retrieve it myself. IT was lovely! A nice way to end a lovely bonk. Not!

In case you can't tell, I've calmed down about the whole thing now. Thank you!

This happened with our first. We weren't planning children, in fact neither of us wanted any. I'd come off the pill because it was giving me depression, I was considering my options and in the meantime we were using condoms. We went to a family planning clinic, found out all about them and were very very careful. But one night, we had sex, then when dh went to take the condom off it wasn't there! He later found it in the bed, empty! But I was convinced that he had't 'come' inside me (sorry if tmi!).

Anyway, I put it to the back of my mind. I figured that one accident couldn't be that bad and I was certain that nothing had gotten inside me anyhow.

But then my period never came and dh persuaded me to take a test. I shall never forget the complete shock that overtook me when it was positive!

There is no point to this little tale of woe, just to let you know that unplanned pregnancies needn't be that bad. dd changed our lives and I'm glad she came along! She had an unplanned little brother too! Seems I'm rather fertile!

Ah yes well Rhubarb that's where my problem lies you see. I think I'm quite fertile too.

DD was a little accident too, although we weren't being very careful at all and I was pregnant before but miscarried after not very long at all, but all this points to me being as fertile as a... name a very fertile thing... i don't know! I should be more careful.

Anyway there was a little bit of stuff left in the condom when I retrieved it, but I've seen fuller. I jsut had a quick look before I chucked it, was freaking out a bit at the time due to the grossness of having to do what I had to do. Oh reliving the memory!!! What a story to tell my child if there is one there! "Mummy how did you decide to have another baby so soon" "Well dear, you were actually an accident. You see daddy and I were getting down and ..." sigh

My dd actually asked me the other day if we had "wanted" her! I told that she was a little surprise, but the very best surprise! Like unwrapping a brilliant Christmas present!

lemonaid · 14/11/2006 21:58

It was the next day. Could see it had come off, couldn't find it anywhere and eventually had to face the hideous truth.

GP was very nice and did say it wasn't that unusual an occurrence, but I was . Especially as I had to take an afternoon off work to go to the doctor's and be very cagy about why [shudders at memory].

Flumpybumpy · 15/11/2006 09:39

Okay going to really gross you all out now, my friend (not a pseudonym for ME, I promise) had a 'missing condom' episode when she was 21, she went to the doctors as both her and her Hubby couldn't find it, and when GP removed it he also found an old tampon in there too !!

Her fanjo is the Bermuda Triangle of fanjo's!!!

She didn't get pregnant BTW.

I feel a little sick now Flumpybumpy... How gross is that! And how would you not notice that the tampon yo uput in a few hours earlier wasn't there???

Actually it does make me feel a little better about my ordeal

chipmonkey · 15/11/2006 13:55

at the tampon incident!

Flumpybumpy · 15/11/2006 20:35

Oh the tampon hadn't been there for only a few hours, she had finished her period 2 WEEKS before She had just forgotten to take her tampon her out!

Can anyone tell me how a condom "slips" off? Its one of life great mysteries.

Well as I was saying before, it was an energetic, prolonged session. But oddly, the same thing almost happenned again last night! I think it must have been the pack we got. Maybe they're not the usual ones...

But seriously, it was an accident!

Mrsaek do you really, seriously want to know?
I mean, really?

It might be one of those things best left to suggestion and imagination, I feel

Panyanpickle77 · 16/11/2006 22:00

I seriously think all men are crafty buggers who know how to magic condoms away. I suggested putting an elastic band around dh's once, but he was none too impressed, and it didn't happen again!!!

HowTheFillyjonkStoleChristmas · 17/11/2006 07:24

ROFL!!!

Just thought I'd update you all on my predicament.

Despite having "suspicious" feeling all last week - couldn't stop sleeping, hot flushes, tender boobs - I did a test on Saturday when my period was three days late and got two BFNs and then my period started on Sunday morning with a bang, really heavy bleeding unlike anything I've had before.

So maybe I was pregnant and am having an early miscarriage or maybe I wasn't and am just having a weird period. Argh! Will it never be easy!
But still, big at all of this!
