Conception

Could I be pregnant?

I have a son and a daughter aged 1 and 2. A week ago (midcycle) we had an incident where a condom split but, thankfully, we discovered it before ejaculation. I don't know how long it had been split, but it must have been a few minutes before we discovered it. My period is due on Sunday and for the last week I have felt very, very sick and unable to sleep at night - my mind is all over the place, and I can't shut down. I had these exact same symptoms between conception and when my period was due during my last two (planned) pregnancies. The thought of another one now scares me - I would have a 3, 2 and a 1 year old after a year!!! Talk about close together! How likely is a pregnancy under these circumstances?

I guess you can get pregnant at any time of the cycle when contraception fails. Sorry to be not more help. How about taking a test first thing?

JanetJJ · 18/08/2004 18:46

... yes but there was no ejaculation this time vict17.....

Yes, but some can come out pre-ejaculation....

vict17 · 18/08/2004 18:53

agree with beachyhead - I take it you didn't take the morning after pill?

JanetJJ · 18/08/2004 19:03

No I didn't take the morning after pill

I think the odds of you being pregnant are quite low, especially if the condom had spermicide in it. As you say you noticed before he (cough cough) came. Mind you saying that if i was you id worry too, we do the withdrawel method so every month is a worry for me but for us it would be ok if i fell pregnant.

CP3 · 18/08/2004 19:07

Your period is so close now you could do the early predictor test

JanetJJ · 18/08/2004 19:13

A pregnancy test wouldn't show a positive on day 23/24, surely?

OP posts:

CP3 · 18/08/2004 19:22

The early one shows 3 days before your af is due

JanetJJ · 18/08/2004 19:29

Am I being thick - what's the early one? I thought a pregnancy test was a pregnancy test was a pregnancy test

CP3 · 18/08/2004 19:32

You can now buy tests thst can tell if you are pregnant before your period is due.

lou33 · 18/08/2004 19:32

I got a positive 5 days before I was due.

MummyToSteven · 18/08/2004 19:33

Look for a First Response test - can't remember if it is meant to be ok 3 or 4 days before your period is due

kelly0612 · 20/08/2004 13:41

please help this is my first time on here and im really confused as my nurse was so unhelpful, i feel silly asking but im trying to conceive and i have recently come off the mini pill micronor my periods should have been on the 10th august but nothing happened my last perioid was july 10th and i had a bleed on the 24th but it was only for a day, i was still taking the pill at the time, are my periods late because of the pill or because i could be pregnant, we have been having unprotected sex since 4th august

Tessiebear · 20/08/2004 14:34

When i came off the combined pill i never had a period and i got pregnant straight away - so it can happen - tho it can take a while for periods to get back to normal - do a test???

Cyndii · 20/08/2004 16:05

Janet JJ ~ first response test is for 3 days before af is due. I wish you well over the weekend but it might be worth doing the test as you sound v anxious ~ and to be honest I would too, if I were in your situation!

zebra · 20/08/2004 16:08

Sounds possible, Kelly.

kelly0612 · 20/08/2004 21:40

thanx zebra i really hope i am as i would really love a child,my nurse was not very good at all she just said to me "do you feel pregnant" how would i know i have never had a baby before.

wild · 21/08/2004 05:23

Well that was what occurred to me when I saw you on Mini-pill thread, then I felt bad about saying so in case you are not. But good luck I hope you are! and if not keep trying lol

kelly0612 · 22/08/2004 15:20

is dizziness 1 of the signs of pregnancy, also my nipples have been sore, im not sure whether its that or because my body is regulating itself again after stopping micronor, cant do a hpt yet as i dont think it will show anything

nutcracker · 22/08/2004 15:50

Hi Kelly - Yes sore nipples are a sign and I would definatly say that dizziness is too as I had that with Dd2.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you

kelly0612 · 23/08/2004 11:13

kelly....i would really do a test....you are showing the same symptoms what i had!! the first response test seems to be getting votes around here lately, or the clear blue digital

SickAsAPig · 23/08/2004 12:13

Following my original message, AF is now late (I am NEVER late) and I still feel sick and clammy.
I would have thought that the chances of conceiving under these circumstances were very small - wearing a condom (albeit broken at some point) and not (erm) ejaculating.
I am now panicing and am too worried to test. I am not sure I am ready to face three under three!!!! Help.

Titania · 23/08/2004 12:21

but at least a test would put your mind at rest and you can deal with the outcome knowing the result. have you bought a test yet? i have got 3 and at one point had 3 under 4 and a half.....tbh...the 3rd one just kinda 'slots in'
