What are my chances? What do you think?

Hi. I'm new here and this is going to be long, so bare w/me. I'm in my mid-late 20's. My husband & I aren't TTC yet, nor do we plan on TTC anytime soon. We were ~planning~ somewhere around 3 yrs. or so to start TTC. If we are pregnant, this would definitley be a Surprise for the both of us, esp. since it wasn't planned. This is going to be the most stressful 2 WW for my husband & I.

My last AF was on Tuesday 9/2/03 and my AF ended on Sunday 9/7/03. My husband & I had sex on Wed. 9/17 with a condem and it Broke! Oh My! This would put me at CD16, I think, starting from the very 1st day that I started my AF, which would be on 9/2. The condem did have a spermicidal lubricant in it. We hadn't been intimate for awhile, so I'm sure my husband was extremely potent. Based on my LMP, I think I'm during my most fertile time right now, which in my case, is not a good thing since we're not actively TTC at this time. Obviously I did not know this. I'm not charting, nor am I taking my temperature, so I wouldn't actually know when I'm ovulating. I'd say that my cycles are anywhere between 29-31 days (I haven't kept track of this for the last several mos., so I'm somewhat guessing). Here are a few symptoms that *may* or *may* not be anything except for being somewhat a little gassy & I may feel a little bloated. Also, my cervix feels soft, high, open and definitley very wet. I've noticed an increase in my sex drive lately too, in the last day or so. I have noticed this diff. within the last day or two w/my cervix(symptoms posted above).

Could I be Ovulating NOW, after the fact that my dH & I had sex just days prior or does it sound like I'm getting ready to ~O~ or have I already O'ed and not know it? Af ~should~ be due right around the first weekend in October, or ~maybe~ the early part of the 2nd week in October. I'm trying to pay attention to my sypmtons & everything. I'm (or we're) scared to death! So, you tell me! What are my odds of actually becoming pregnant? I'm thinking since we had sex before my ~possible~ O'ing(based on my sypmtoms above), that more than likely we very well could be. By the info. given here, does it sound like I could be Pregnant? Oh gawd! We're sooo not prepared for this. What is the soonest that I could test?-I'm thinking at the end of next week. Thanks for listening! I need some advice.

If you just had O'ed or were about to, sperm can live anywhere from 24 to 72 hours, i've heard. Then again, you did have a condom with spermicide.

I would wait until AF is late to test, for sure but according to what you mentionned I think you were in your fertile period that day.

Good luck!

That's what I kind of figured about the sperm and that is what worries me, BUT then the I remembered about the spermicide being in the condom. Sigh. I'm not on any form of Birth Control or using anything else. I can't stand it already. I want to Know! After we realized that the condom broke, I checked out some of the websites and then it said that we had sex ng my most Fertile time. I know sometimes that the websites can be off, but just to know that info. freaks me out! When is the Soonest that I could *possibly* test, even if I didn't wait for my first missed AF? I've been writing my symptoms down on a piece of paper. I did have pizza on Friday and I wonder if that's where I'm getting all of my gas pains from.

~~17th Sept. - had sex & the condom broke on us :(

~~18th Sept. - stomach slightly hurts/gassy

~~20th Sept. - real gassy/ewcm/leg cramps(charlie horse) & real horney,-blame it on the estrogen. I kind of felt bloated.

~~21st Sept. - gassy so far.

Based on Another website that I looked at here is what it is says:

started AF: Length of Cycle: Days of Peak Fertiltiy: Edd:

9-2-03 28 days 9/14 - 9/17 6/8

" 29 days 9/15 - 9/18 "

" 30 days 9/16 - 9/19 "

" 31 days 9/17 - 9/20 "

" 32 days 9/18 - 9/21 "



Need I say more?....the 17th was my birthday. Like I had mentioned before, DH said it was a lot at the time and it had been awhile since we last have had sex. I just hope the spermicide came through for us. I'll keep everyone updated & I'll be checking back regurlarly.

~Thanks, J!

The earliest I've had luck testing positive is 2-3 days prior to the day AF is due using First Response Early. Since you don't know when you O'd, I'd buy the 3-pack of HPTs, and use the first one two days before you expect AF using first morning urine. If that one's negative, wait a couple of days and try again. Good luck to you!

At what HCG level does the First Response pregnancy test kit test at? Thanks for the info. on testing.

Do you think that the chance of me being pregnant is more than Likely or NOT likely, based on the info. that I posted?

Geesh! I hate this 2 WW crap!

I am in the exact same situation! We had a little 'mishap' exactly when I was around ovulation. I am currently 6 days late for AF but still BFN as of yesterday, and having some symptoms that could be pregnant, AF, or my imagination. I think it's definitely possible for either one of us. I can't believe it could happen from just that one time, but I guess it's like they told us in high school, huh?

The strange thing that happened with me, was that about 10 days after it happened, I had some weird discharge and spotted for a couple days. Sometimes I get a little excited about it, then at other times I'm freaking out!

Keep us posted when you test.

The chart I read said 15-25 miu hcg. As for the likelihood of your being pregnant... As far as I can see it's pretty up in the air. Unfortunately, you'll just have to wait and see. I know, easier said than done. Here are some ~~~patience vibes~~~ for you ;-).

Maybe this is all in my head, BUT I've experienced ~maybe~ a FEW very, very, very, very slight(really slight) twinges or *something* in one of my bb's. It doesn't feel like anything nor are my bb's sore. I *feel* as though, I'm having to go to the bathroom a little more. Who knows?! Only time will tell & I don't want to wait anymore!!! The only thing that I know, is that I've been Extremely horny for the last 2-3 days. This may be TMI here, but I feel like down below, my cervix is draining or something/ and is extremely wet. Also, I've been more gassy than usual. I'm embarressed to say that.

O.K, so who here wants to take a gander on whether they think that I'm pregnant or NOT?? I'd figure we'd do something fun while we wait for the 2 W W. Blech!

~Thanks, J

I'll keep y'all posted

Wow, sounds like you are really freaking out... You "might" have concieved on 17th? If that is the case and you really don't want to be PG, you can go to planned parenthood and get the moring after pill, the say it is best to take it in the first 3 days, but you can take it up to 5 days. You can also go into Drs and request a HGC test, I believe you can be able to detect HGC as early as 7 days before AF is due. How many days is you cycle, I know I started my AF on the 5th, my cycle is 26 days, my af is due for the 1st of Oct. They say that dr. office test can predict once 10 days has passed since you did the deed, however blood test would be the best. Hope it goes the way you want it to go!!
