Paranoid And Could Use Your Comments Posted: 06-22-05 18:16pm
Alittle history - I went off the pill 2
months ago. My first period was right on
time. I'm still waiting for my second
period, which is now 5 days late. No
pregnancy symptoms whatsoever except for
the lack of period.
Whenever i've had sex with my husband, I
have used a spermicide and he has pulled
out. He had a vacestomy (sp?) several
months ago, but his last sperm sample had
one dead sperm in it, so I guess we're
still not safe, hence the caution.
Is there any chance of me being pregnant?
I have been an absolute stressed out mess
all week worried about this
thanks for your comments.

I had a similiar situation....I went off
the pill beginning of april, had normal
period cycle, then next month period was 2
weeks, 3 days late! But then I got it.
I was hoping to be pregnant, so was
thinking I had symptons. Obviously they
were in my head.
Anyway, my point is your cycle is
adjusting and I think it's totally normal
to be irregular.
Good luck.

i am a nurse and I can tell
you this much. If you husband only had
one dead sperm in his last sample, is is
extremely unlikely that you could get
pregnant, when a man cums there is over a
million sperm because normally all of them
die trying to get to your egg. The
chance that only one out of one sperm
would actually survive and fertilize an
egg in less than .001%, especially since
it is unlikely that you are ovulating due
to discontinuing your birth control.
Your cycle is mixed up right now from
stopping your birth control. You will
probably experienc spotting on and off for
months. Your doctor can regulate your
period and get it back on track by
prrescribing you only 5 pills of provera.
Within 48 hours your period will start
and it should throw it back on track.
If the provera makes you period start then
obviously you are not pregnant. If you
dont, then I guess (unlikely) you could be
and the provera will not harm the fetus
either. Hope this
helps
debbeard79 - thank you so much for a
"professional" opinion. It puts my mind
at ease, that's for sure! I always
thought dead sperm=infertile sperm, but
wasn't sure. That said, I don't quite
understand why my husband's Dr. Didn't
give us a "green light" for unprotected
sex after this last sperm sample. Oh
well!
