We avoided sex the days before/of/after ovulation. Obviously natural family planning isn't for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-31781 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:54:42 +0000 mrstilly 31781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I had been trying, but then took a break and were preventing (condoms). My sister was planning her destination wedding, so we wanted to make sure there was a 3 or 4 month window so that the baby wasnt due right around her wedding and that we could travel. We ended up pregnant about two weeks after we stopped trying and flew with our five week old son to FL for her wedding. Now we're using condoms again to prevent, but now that I'm not breastfeeding anymore, I'll probably go back on some kind of BC pill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-31741 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:29:33 +0000 BelugaBean 31741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Wondermommy: Ours pretty much happened the same way! We weren't trying super hard not to have a baby but we weren't trying. Then one night we were drunk and didn't think clearly that it was the exact day I would be ovulating. And now here I am nine weeks pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-31716 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:12:24 +0000 MsMamaBear 31716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I was trying to prevent and we didn't use anything. We figures after trying for 11months and nothing happening, once won't change anything.</p> <p>Yeah, we were wrong.LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-1570 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 09:47:48 +0000 Wondermommy 1570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is the result of a drunken night of "one time of carelessness won't hurt". Ha! Of course we knew better, but like I said, we were both hammered--judgement goes out the window. As soon as we found out, we knew exactly which night of mattress mambo was the conception date, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-1565 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 09:19:10 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 1565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant with Mavi when we said we WOULD NOT get pregnant. I was checking my monthly calendar and that time around my cycle was 33 days long rather then my usual 28 so even the doctor was shocked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-1549 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 01:52:13 +0000 yin 1549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only married for 2 months, and the pregnancy was a huge surprise. We were definitely caught off guard, but our little guy is the best thing that has happened to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-1540 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 00:53:49 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that would be us! we were only married for 5 months before we found out we were pregnant. we were gonna wait at least 2-3 years into marriage... oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-1532 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 22:35:17 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i got pregnant with charlie in one shot when we weren't trying the one time we didn't use any birth control. i even got obscenely drunk at a wedding afterwards because i thought there was no way i could possibly be pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-1528 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 22:31:47 +0000 Becksabee 1528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually was on Depo when I got pregnant, so no, we definitely weren't trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-1518 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 21:43:51 +0000 geekinheels 1518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I think I can safely say that we were definitely NOT trying for a second baby so close in age to our first! (They will only be 13 months apart.)</p> <p>I was on the mini-pill, and because I had heard that it can cause accidental pregnancies we were being careful around the times I thought I was ovulating. Looking back, the only way I could have gotten pregnant is if I had ovulated a week late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-here-get-pregnant-when-they-werent-trying#post-1510 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:55:59 +0000 Kasia 1510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering if any hellobee gals got pregnant when they weren't actively trying. Maybe you were trying to prevent it, maybe you weren't trying reeeaaallllly hard to prevent it but it was still a surprise? Bonus points for which method of BC you were using when it happened. </p>
