I'm 8weeks 4 days postpartum, I stupidly had unprotected sex tonight and now I'm worrying about pregnancy, I completely get how idiotic I was but what are the chances of pregnancy? Also I'm formula feeding

He pulled out before finishing off which I know doesn't mean anything.

Does anyone have any similar experiences of this they could share please Blush

Second the copper coil (iud) get it done keep it for as long as they reccomebt and if it doesn't suit you just have it removed. Wasn't unbareable for me and I haven't had kids, the cervix is more forgiving in women who've had babies. Be safe xx

You can have IUD inserted as emergency contraception up to 5 days after unprotected sex

Remember a period can come AFTER you ovulate and not necessarily before. So no periods yet doesn’t mean you can’t conceive.

Even if it took you ages to conceive before . Sod’s law.

I would get the MAP to be safe

Onceuponacheesecake · 10/02/2019 08:41

You are very fertile after giving birth.
Could you make an out of hours appointment to speak to a GP about MAP? or speak with a pharmacist?

You could test in around 2-3 weeks

@Lauren83 I think I'm just going to use condoms from now and and test for this possibility,

Any ideas when I test?

Definitely consider the MAP if you can, my DS took 9 years and 5 cycles of IVF (3 with donor eggs) he was born last year in Jan and I stopped breastfeeding in May then my periods returned in June and I caught in September. That's with 1 tube and premature ovarian failure! Our PP bodies are strange things, obv very happy but huge shock!

I do admire you for having sex that soon *crosses legs" but if you don't want to risk pregnancy then to play need emergency contraception. Maybe pop to a chemist within a supermarket tomorrow perhaps and ask advice?

Littletreasure2017 · 09/02/2019 22:42

Things like not thug!!
For what it's worth my sister had her dd 2 days before her sons 1st birthday they are now 5 and 6, she was absolutely fine!! Op enjoy your little one and try not to stress to much!! Xx
