My fiance and I got pregnant in May. It wasn't planned but we were excited. We had only had sex one time and it was with no condom, he thought he pulled out in time but he didn't. I went to the clinic on May 23 and found out I was 4 weeks along. We were in the middle of getting insurance so I could be seen by a doctor but before I did I lost the baby. I had a misscarriage on July 4, the doctor said that I was 10 weeks along. I got my period after the misscarriage on August 8, and then again on September 2. Since the misscarriage we have had sex a few times w/no condom but he pulls out before he "finishes". Last night for the first time in a month we had sex and it was w/no condom. He "finished" as he was pulling out. He says he doesn't think he any got inside of me, but afterward I was dripping like I was when I got pregnant in May (tmi sorry). I don't know how to calculate my fertile days. I was wondering what the chances of me getting pregnant from that would be.

Hi wordplay,
I'm so sorry for your loss! I hope you're doing much better now....and welcome to the board :)
I think in order to figure out your chances of being pg or not really depends on a few things. You said your LMP was on september 2nd, correct? How long are your cycles normally? If you have relatively long cycles, then I thnk your chances might be greater than if you had short cycles. Typically, women ovualate anywhere from day 14 to day 17 of thier cycles. I have longer cycles, and therefore don't ovulate until about CD18 or 19. It sounds like you're pretty far into this cycle though, and AF is probably due soon, right?
I would maybe wait until AF is due, and if it doesn't show, then take a test. Pulling out isn't the greatest method of birth control. Not that it can't work, DH and I have been using it for about 10 months now and so far we've been lucky.
Well, good luck... and I hope you get the answer you're looking for soon...hope that helps a little bit... :)

Hi,
No problem... it sounds like your last time when he might not have fully pulled out might have been too late in your cycle to get pg. And if you were really careful the other times, then you might just be ok. Are you planning on trying anytime soon?

Hi there,
I am very sorry your loss. Yes, I agree with Robin, pulling out isn't the best method, but it works for most people. It does sound like you had sex too late in your cycle to become pregnant - are you trying? I had a miscarriage about 3 months before I conceived my son (who is 10 months now) and I had heard that you are really fertile right after you have a miscarry - not sure if I believe that; but something to think about it.
Good luck and hope you get what you are wishing for.. :)
