I am afraid I might be pregnant. Today is cycle day 27 between yesterday and today I have had brown mucus spotting (sorry tmi). To add, I haven’t been feeling well with stomach upset. Weird drops in appetite and spikes as well. My anxiety is higher than usual.

My last post was about my husband using the withdrawal method. Over the course of that post, he did indeed finish where he was suppose to more than once. That was around day 14 and 15 day in my cycle which is typical for ovulation. However, I thought I was safe because I didn’t really notice any CM. Now with the symptoms I’m having and feeling ******, I’m nervous that those weren’t safe days after all.

Any prayers would be appreciated. I don’t know if it’s right to pray away a possible pregnancy. But if you could just pray for peace, because I feel really uneasy.

Thanks guys 😦
 
Best wishes and I hope you will be able to get him into counseling. Whatever happens, some improved communication and a better problem-solving system would be good for you, your husband and your kids.

Well, withdrawal method isn’t very reliable, because it only takes one sperm to get through, and it’s my understanding some sperm are released even before ejaculation.

So, in the future, I think Natural Family Planning would be more the way to go.

One does charting of the woman’s cycle, learns when the fertile cycles are and avoids intimacy during those days.

As to this possible pregnancy, is it financial reasons that makes this too difficult?

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. :gopray:
 
Finances aren’t terrible right now. Our needs are covered as well as our wants. However, our house is a little cramped as it is housing 6 people, I want to lose weight and get myself into a healthier shape. I have days when I am overwhelmed with our little ones now, I don’t think another baby at this time is feasible. I hope it doesn’t make me sound selfish.
 
To add, I’m aware withdrawal isn’t 100% effective. Since I had a heart to heart with him he hasn’t withdrawn. Which has me nervous now as I am hoping I am not having implantation bleeding… I thought the days we were intimate were safe because I didn’t notice any CM. however, it was right in the middle of my cycle which is usually when I ovulate. I didn’t realize that until now when I have been feeling Ill and spotting.
 
It could be ovulation bleeding, meaning ovulation is happening now, and if the last time you were intimate was around day 14, you wouldn’t be pregnant. It sounds like you’re under stress, and stress delays ovulation.

Are you employing a method of NFP currently? Counting days of your cycle isn’t very reliable. You need to do a method like Creighton, Marquette, or STM under the supervision of a certified NFP instructor.
 
I got AF today, all is good. Thanks for the well wishes and I will be paying much closer attention this cycle.
