So, stupidly we have used the withdrawal method for the last two years and I also follow the flo app to see what my safer days are.
We did it on the 21/1 which according to flo was six days after I ovulated.
Accidentally he did not withdraw.
I am now 6 days late for my period and really am too scared to be an adult and take a test.
What are the chances of my cycle just being out?
Thank you

How come you're so scared to take a test when you weren't scared enough about pregnancy to use contraception?

The apps can always be out by days and unless you were using an ovulation predictor kit you have no idea when you actually ovulated. 6days is a risky window,get a test and if you have dodged a bullet get some proper contraception. The pull out method is really risky.

I didn’t ask to be questioned on why I’m too scared to get a test!
I was asking if any one had a similar experience with cycles.
Enjoy your day you judgy person!

It is likely you are pregnant. Withdrawal is not a method as you know. Just take a test OP then you can deal with what you’ve got to deal with, I know it’s probably scary.

Remember there are options and choices whatever the outcome, it will be okay x

I'm not sure what the flo app charts exactly but if you are taking your temperature daily and had confirmed ovulation six days before it's very unlikely that you are pregnant. If you weren't temping then obviously you could have ovulated later than usual. None of the other methods of observation (including ovulation predictor kits) actually confirm ovulation.
