please tell me "zero!"

[jackson'smama]

what are my chances of being pregnant? i know you know the answer, so please tell me...

i am exclusively breastfeeding my 6.5 month old baby and tandeming older ds at least once or twice a day.

PPAF returned 4 months PP (with both pregnancies)

i have never been a clockwork kind of gal and i'm clueless as to when i'm ovulating (no signs/symptoms that i can detect). i'd say before kids and between kids i was around a 30 day-ish cycle.

last AF started the first week of december (did not write down the date, but looking back, i think i remember certain things that are making me think it was that week )

we had sex on 1/1 and he pulled out.

still no AF and i'm freaked. i want a 3rd (i think!), but not yet...so please tell me my chances of being pregnant are zero

[Ok]

We'll know by mid-late Sept, eh?

OK, zero. But it'll cost you a hot chocolate if you want me to say it so I'm sounding convincing to you. (not helping am I?)

[jackson'smama]

OK, where are you? i'll bring you a hot chocolate this very minute if you tell me with 100% certainty that I am in fact NOT pregnant.
i can't be, right? i mean come on...one time? the fool-proof pullout method? (remind me to kick his a$$ again...), only 6 months postpartum? 100% breastfeeding day and night? it just can't be...
BUT, in case there's like a 1% chance i am, when the heck should i even test? i'm assuming my cycle is not normal (i think it took awhile after my first PPAF after first ds was born for it to get even remotely normal). so how would i know when i'm technically late? i have a test but i'm too frugal to go wasting it if it's too early! i certainly feel nothing, but i can't let myself be reassured by that!

[Ok]

I have no actual soothsaying, prognasticating or otherwise other-worldly skills. (wow though, wouldn't that be cool?)

OK, so listen closely: you're not pregnant. You could be but the chances are slim, unless you are already pg in which case the chances are pretty low that you're not, meaning you are... you know.

[jackson'smama]

that's it! you are NOT getting any hot chocolate!
i guess i'll just keep sitting here worrying until something happens either way. i had a dream last night that AF started...maybe that means something! can you tell i'm grasping for anything here?!?!

[turtlewomyn]

I have no idea if you could be pregnant or not, but I do want to get in on the hot chocolate.:

I think that a dream that you got AF is a much better sign than a dream that you were pregnant.
And, if you did conceive on 1/1 you might be starting to feel a bit funky right now (I know that I would).
It is possible, but unlikely.

Good luck.

If I am reading your post right, then the only time you had intercouse since your last AF (which was first week of Dec.) was 1/1. In order for that to have resulted in pregnant you would .you would have had to ovulated anywhere from 12/31-1/5. If you did ovulate then, AF woudln't even be due until 1/13-1/18 and you wouldn't be able to test until then anyway.

If you ovulated before 12/31 then you couldn't have gotten pregnant (if the only intercourse you had was on 1/1).

Either way, I wouldn't worry about it. If you did have intercouse during ovulation, it is too early to tell...and if you didnt there there is no way you would be pregnant. So, you really just need to wait and see.


Does that answer merit me some hot chocolate???

[jackson'smama]

yes it does! thank you for laying it all out for me like that. ok, so i won't even worry about it (or at least try!) until next week....
it seems af has been irregular since returning anyway, so i was just lost on when i should even begin to think "i'm late".

[jackson'smama]

to AF! woo hoo she came to town today!
thanks for the chat ladies...i'm starting the hot chocolate for everyone now.
