My last period was from Jan. 8th - Jan. 11th. We had intercourse on the 12th, 15th, 24th and 28th, and Feb. 3rd and did not have sex during what is usually my fertile week (I track everything! I'm a nerd!).
I do natural family planning, so I know there is always room for an oops, but we also use the pull out method and have not had any accidents. We used to also use condoms, as well, but I developed some pretty rotten allergies to different condoms and lubes which made sex unbearable.
I don't want to be pregnant and right now would be the worst time. However, the reason I'm so diligent about tracking my cycles is because both my grandmother and mother had severe cycles, many miscarriages and finally went into menopause very early. Granted, I'm only 25, but it is still something I keep in the back of my head. So I keep hoping it is only stress for multiple reasons which, of course, makes me more stressed. I have GAD, so that doesn't make things much better in your average high stress situation.
I don't feel like I'm having any pregnancy or PMS symptoms now other than the cramping which I usually get for several days prior to my period. I just keep hoping for the cramps to turn into the real thing!
