Hi there
I am new to this site - although I did used to come on here years ago when my 2 children were small.
Feel really stupid at the moment and need to tell people that I don't know as it's eating me up inside.
Basically I am 34 years old and have 9 year old twins. I have been with my current partner for 18 months and we are really happy together. We knew each other for many years before we got together and everything has been great so far. He has a teenage son from another relationship and he is nearly 40. We have never really discussed having children and think we are happy with what we have.
Over Christmas, I forgot to take my pill sporadically about 5 times. I am on Microgynon and have been on it for 10 years and to be honest have had the odd times when I forget to take it and not ever assumed I might get pregnant. Bearing in mind mine and my partners ages I didn't even think that missing a few pills would affect us. (Gosh, I feel stupid trying to justify myself now.)
Anyway, I was due on a couple of weeks ago and didn't come on. I still didn't think anything of it and as I had stomach cramps just assumed I would come on. Well..low and behold, I haven't come on and yesterday I did 2 different pregnancy tests which were both positive.
I feel shocked...and stupid. I don't know how to tell my partner - I haven't even broached the subject that my period is so late because I honestly thought I'd come on. I now feel like I have sneaked around doing tests behind his back - which basically I have.
How shall I broach the subject ? I am still in a state of shock myself and feel like I want to burst into flood of tears when I think about it.
