[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we stop with the “ unexpected baby” talk. We all know where babies come from and what we have to do to get them. There is no “unexpected” when you’re not using protection. [/quote]

Totally agree. There are lots of birth control options for women or a vasectomy for the man if you are done having kids. These unexpected pregnancies are obviously people who didn’t feel totally done so took no precautions.  That’s not really a surprise pregnancy. [/quote]

Well BC fails.  I became pregnant with an IUD, so there is absolutely times with unexpected/surprise pregnancies.

That’s exceedingly rare. Was yours an ectopic pregnancy? Typically if you get pregnant w an IUD it is not viable pregnancy.[/quote]

No. They aren't sure if the embryo pushed the IUD out, or it wasn't placed well. But it happened. It was a hell of a surprise.

Once that was over, my husband did get a vasectomy, but let's not pretend that BC is 100%. [/quote]

I don’t think anyone thinks BC is 100%. Nothings 100% at preventing pregnancy except abstinence. Even vasectomy has a failure rate. But fewer than 1% of people w IUDs get pregnant. So it’s still exceedingly rare. Most of the time when posters say they had an unexpected pregnancy they actually mean they weren’t being that careful/weren’t using BC appropriately.[/quote]

There was a YouTube thing where a couple got pregnant 10 years after her husband had a vasectomy. It’s rare but it can happen.[/quote]

Yeah and what’s more likely? That someone using BC properly becomes the 1/1,000+ people to get pregnant after a partners vasectomy or that they’re saying the pregnancy is unexpected when actually they just had unprotected sex when they thought they were outside the “fertile window” and that didn’t work out?[/quote]
