i have a surprise pg on my hands, and even more so now that i'm getting more info! i'm 14 mo pp with my second, and have used the creighton method for pregnancy prevention for years. i spaced my first 2 dc 3.5 years apart using cervical fluid checks only. so my first cycle pp began march 20 with af. i had fertile mucous from day 10-15 and abstained without barrier until day 23 for unrelated reasons (we were moving. too darn tired.) we did use a condom one time on day 17 (not our usual m.o., but very occasional, when we're in doubt). i went almost a month past my missed period (have always had regular 30-day cycles) and took a pg test just to be sure before calling my ob/gyn for a checkup. the test was positive. so, i assumed that the condom malfunctioned on day 17, or i had a freak ovulation with no fluid signs on day 23. my due date was around the 23rd, i believe. i'm having a hb, but seeing an ob for testing and whatnot, and had an early ultrasound yesterday to confirm, since i felt that i wasn't sure about dates. i thought i was 11 weeks 2 days, but the baby is measuring only 7 weeks 5 days. which means i would have ovulated around day 35. baby looks great--arm buds, yolk sack, heartbeat. just a few weeks smaller than expected. i was shocked, and now even more surprised that i'm pg, especially b/c my mucous was so clearly fertile earlier in my cycle.
is this a very uncommon occurence? from what i've read, late ovulation is uncommon and pregnancy then is even more so. just wondering how odd this situation is? apparently this baby really wants to be here!
