Would it be safe?

Ok so even though I have had 3 children, i have no idea bout charting or fertile stuff - we just sorta did it whenever and I *luckily* got pregnant.. LOL I know when I ovulated though - so at least thats something.

Now - just say DH got lucky tonight (thats not to say he WILL, this is simply hypothetical.. lol) is it safe to not use any form of protection? I stopped bfing about a week ago, and haven't got AF yet, nor do I have any cramps or anything which usually indicated that I was ovulating, or just about to.

I got AF back after the other two when they were about 8 weeks old - so technically I should be ok yeah? Yeah?

Whatcha's reckon? I don't have the pill or anything cos I'm not going to take it again, and we do have condoms but I detest them, so would rather use nothing - or do nothing.. bwahahahahahaha

Hi,

I have to say, it wouldn't be 'safe' to have unprotected sex at this stage.

You'll probably be OK...BUT...... I would get a condom just to be sure, someone my DH works with has 2 kids that are 10 months apart....ekkkk!

Just saw you have condoms and hate them....sorry, but I don't know if it's worth the risk iykwim...

I wouldn't unless you really want to have another in 9ish months time!!! Better to be safe than sorry!

Bahh.

Oh well, poor DH

:lol:

Hmm well i wouldnt give it 100% trust. I mean i was charting to NOT fall pregnant and look what happened? lol. Plus you havent got AF back yet so who knows when you'll O next.

Well you did say you want number 4 Mel :nahnah:

Seriously though, there's probably a pretty low chance considering you're only just a month post birth, but would you really want to risk it?

haha I just want to see if my old girl still works the same.. :rofl:

Poor poor DH...

I bet she works perfectly :) You just don't want her to work *too* perfectly ;)

He can always pull out ;) That's not failsafe either and if it were me, I wouldn't want to be tempting fate LOL

Mel...trust me!..you can NEVER be too careful! We dtd once in the last 6 months and look where it has got me :o (no af..no signs that I was o'ing..tandem feeding round the clock).

When you least expect these things, they happen!!

(Let me send you some of my all day sickness to refresh your memory about what being pregnant is like! :lol:)

Just remember that sperm can live for like 5 days ( i think its around that) so even though you may not feel like you are ovulating now you may in a few days and they will be lying in wait!!

I say to just withdraw at that critical moment, plus there is plenty of other intimate things you can both do without actually penetrating so get creative and enjoy :bd:

My mum concieved my sister when i was a month old she thought she couldnt get pregnant so soon after having a baby but then came my sister, we are 10 months apart :p

I have to agree with the withdrawl method if anything.. me and DP had been doing that for years and nothing happened the one time we decided what the heck i got pregnant.. which i didnt think i would as having PCOS god only knows how often i ovulate.

oh wait your serious?? try telling that to my DH hi sidea of getting romantic is saying "wanna play" and he wonders why I am in the mood so frequently :rolleyes:

Seriously though Mel - I wouldn't risk it just to be on the safe side these things have a tendency to blow up in your face ... oh thats rude ... but my sil was on the pill an dis due to give birth in Feb so I wouldn't risk it

Oh that's too funny!!! :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

So when we see prg announcment of number 4 in a months time we know what you did NYE.


LMAO haha

Be careful

Play with fire and get burnt!! so be careful hun as your bits may work better than you want them to!!

PMSL!!!

No announcement will be made..

Poor poor DH :shakehead:

Oh, poor man!

Lol no announcement from us either!

oopps was rude ;)

It took 7 months for DH to have a zero SC after his snippy-poo so we weren't taking any risks. Lets just say we were very creative ;)

7 months!!!!! Gawd, how come it takes that long? I thought once they snipped they were pretty much safe - cos how does it get through the snipped part? :lol:

I have NFI really. It wasn't millions like a normal fertile bloke, but he was still returning a few thousand in the sample, which was enough for the pathologist to say retest in a fortnight. Maybe there was a few hangers on in the pipes :dunno:

Can they do that?? Wow, I thought (as uneducated as I was with sex ed at school cos I wasn't paying attention... ) that they all came up the tubey type things when you were actually.. uh.. gettin busyyyy :lol:

Don't blokes apparently have to get tested every 6 or 12 months too just to make sure itle is still the noooooo go??

Don't do it Mel you guys seem really fertile anyway and they say your most fertile is straight after having a bub!

My Dh had it done in Feb 08 and hasn't ever been for his SA, but it's safe to day that it worked LOL. We were careful for the first 3 months and then just avoided DTD at O time for another few months. There are a few methods used to do it. If they cut the tube, then tie each end back on itself then there is next to zero chance of it failing, but if they just put a clamp on the tube or if they snip and then just sew the ends there is a small risk of it failing.

WOw so we are better off getting the cut and tie method - do you have to specifically ask for that or do certain docs have their way of doing things?

(and woohoo - new avvy!!)

The urologist that DH saw just said this is the way he did it, which was the cut and tie method and then gave him info on the procedure, so I guess each Dr would have their own way of doing it. Some can be done in the Dr's surgery with a local, but Dh had a general. No matter which way they do it you'd think they had the damn thing cut off the way they carry on :rolleyes:

PMSL!!! God don't tell me that, or else I'll change my mind about him getting it done and then we'll never have sex again.. ROFL

Don't rely on that either - my dad had it done after my brother and 5yrs later.... another brother!

Just never have sex again! safest bet! :D

Not safe hun. I gave up BF DD1 when she was 6 wks. I feel pregnant some time after that and I didn't have a clue until I was in hospital miscarrying twins(which was 4 months post birth).

:rofl:

Your poor DH! It's not looking good for him lol! Maybe you could loan some of your fertility to me - we're going to start trying again next month - and that way you could DTD. Pity it doesn't work that way.

Love the new Avi!

Kerrie - I would love to loan out my fertility to whoever needs it!!! They can have it :D And they can also have DS for a little while so there might actually be a chance of DH getting lucky, without having to try and go through DS in the middle of the bed first!!!
