~My husband & I had sex on 9/17 w/a condom(spermicide) AND it Broke on us. We hadn't had sex in awhile BEFORE that & I know that my husband was pretty potent. Oh!
~My Last AF was from 9/2 - 9/7.
~I'm not charting nor temping, so I don't know when I Ovulate. My Cervix was pretty wet down below. I noticed that I was EWCM after having sex that week for several days afterwards.
~From some of the websites (fertiltiy calculations), it says that we had sex during MY Fertile time/Peak time.
~Right now were TTA(trying to Avoid) a pregnancy. This is a Big one!
****QUESTIONS****
What's the likelyhood, of me actually becoming pregnant, when a spermicidal condom broke on us during my ~possible~ fertile time(depending on when I Ovulate)? How soon could I test? I'm on CD# 26 as of today. My husband & I are thinking about taking a pregnancy test on Tuesday, Sept. 30th, is that too soon? I ~should~ be getting my AF soon, within a couple of days, *unless* we're pregnant. My AF is DUE This week! As far as symptoms, I'm having a few, but don't know the diff. between Pregnancy symptoms OR Menstrual Symptoms. I guess I shall wait & see. My cycles have been anywhere between 31 days OR more in the last several several months ago.
Thanks! I'll keep everyone Posted on ANY news!

Here's an interesting article about HCG and implantation, have a look over it.

As for the test, i think you can test on 29 Sept and use the first morning urine.
Use First Response brand.
Wish you good luck.Keep me posted with the results.
Worried girl: I tried to check out the link that you posted but I had no such luck. I wouldn't work for me. I frequent another board and I've heard that there are some reasonable Great HPT at Wal-mart for around $7-8. I think it is called Answer. Some of the gals have tested w/them and have had a good experience/result with them. It looks like I'll be going to Wal-mart. I figure that I'll buy at least 2.
As far as my symptoms, I don't know. My bb's are stil sore & my back still hurts & my dang head - I'm still feeling kind of light-headed, kind of like I had described before! Now, my head doesn't usually bother me when I get ready to start AF, but the *other* symptoms I usually get when I DO get ready to start AF. So, in all reality, I don't know. I'm still gassy & I'm never usually THIS gassy. I don't know if the light-headedness is a sign or if I'm getting a head cold, sinus infection or if I have low blood sugar OR something. I just find it strange. I've never had it before. Also, my ears are slighhtly ringing or echoing, if you may. Whatever the results may be, I've(we) have psyched ourselves, pretending that we're already pregnant. Color us silly.
~Thanks! Joanna - I'll keep 'ya posted!
Maybe It's all in my head. I guess we'll find out our answer SOON!

Guess what ! My AF just arrived after all these pains in the bac , in the lower abdomin and being a little bit gassy.I thin that was a in my mind thinknig and worrying that i could be pregnant.
I hope it turns also the same with you.
Try to relax and not worry.All you could feel could this be fake syptons or just in your head as it happened with me.
So you'll test on Tuesday.I hope everything turns out the way you want and who knows maybe you'll be recieving your AF soon.
Good Luck.I'll check in again to hear from you the results.Keep me posted.
Whew! So glad to hear that AF decided to show up afterall for you! You know - you very well could be right about my AF deciding to show up! I hope she does! Like I had said, I'm testing tomorrow A.M. - so I'll be posting as soon as I can. Keep checking back for my results.
~Bye, Joanna
I'm taking a HPT tomorrow MORNING. I just got back from buying a $7 ANSWER pregnancy test at Wal-mart. I've heard that they're pretty sensitive, cheap & Great!
I'll keep you posted sometime tomorrow with the news. Now, I've got myself thinking that I'n NOT pregnant. Who knows?! I'll be CD#28 tomorrow. I don't know how many DPO I am though.
If the test turns out to be Negative, then I'm going to wait for my missed AF or until it comes and then I'll retest several days later.
~G'Night!

As i told you try to relax as much as you can so that the stress don't delay it. Just put i your mind that you're Not pregnant.
Wish you all good luck. Keep me posted with the results !
