What Are The Chances?

Charlotte

So I recently stopped using the copper IUD. We're using condoms and the rhythm method now. My doctor told me that I should wait a while before relying on the rhythm method because my cycle might be skewed a little bit after having the IUD removed.

We're not completely against having a baby though, as we are getting married in August, so if it happens, it happens.

We had completely unprotected sex on cycle day 7 which I considered to be the last day of my period (because there was still some dried blood showing up on my pantiliner, although I don't think I was producing any actual blood on that day - I'm thinking it was just remnants of the blood from the previous days.)

Since I logged it as a period day, Glow didn't provide a percentage of possibility of becoming pregnant on that day. I'm just wondering if there is any possibility of me becoming pregnant from that.

Also, a few times since then, we have started sex without a condom and then put the condom on a few minutes in, and a few times we've just used the pull-out method.

I'm now on cycle day 27 and I haven't been experiencing symptoms that really make me think I'm pregnant, but I did feel really tired in the past couple of days. I napped twice in a day on Wednesday and once on Tuesday. My boobs are tender, but not as tender as they've ever been. I've been feeling some abdominal twinges, which I wouldn't describe as necessarily painful, but sort of uncomfortable.

I think I'm going to be a little bit disappointed if my period comes this month, because I've been wondering if I had conceived ever since cycle day 7 and I always latch onto a little hope that I am pregnant, even though I'm not trying to conceive.
