Condom failure

[victoriah3]

Our condom failed on Thursday night, i went to seem my GP on Friday for emergency contraceptiion - the morninh after pill. Now I read that it is on,ly 95 % effective an I am worried sick that I am pregnant. Too old for another one and had a horrible last pregnancy. It is taking oover every thought and can't slepp or function. Hubby says don't worry - his answer would be termination but don't think I could do it. My periods are very irregular anyway and I prprey that i am not pregnant. Should I do a test?

If you ring the family planning clinic today you could have a coil put in which is more effective than the MAP (depending on when in your cycle you are) - it's effective and licenced up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse, and can stay in if you want a more reliable form of contraception than condoms. A test today won't be positive yet.

When would your period be due?

Not sure my cycle is so irregular, it is about 3.5 weeks since the last ine but can be 6 or even 7.

if you def dont want any more kids, would it be worth looking in to having a hysterectomy? (sorry bout spelling)

i know its a big step but you sound so bloody frightened.

hi, i know how worrying it is. I have had a recent scare myself. You have taken it very quickley after the condom failure. Apparently you can also have an UD inserted to the same effect as a morning after pill.

It is a shame you have irregular periods, so you can't even do your dates.

About a week after i took the MAP, i started to get horrendously tender boobs, I felt sick, and i was convinced I was pg. Just to let you know that i had these symptoms, but my period came about a week after those symptoms began. I was googling and so worried, and i just want you to know i understand.

IUD

Thanks pirate cat

I also have sensitive boobs and a sickie feeling and have convinced myself I am pregnant, I saw my Gp last night who said I am unlikely to be but I always think the worst. Also havs bad indigestion and dizziness a week on?

Sending hubby for vasectomy I think - I will have to talk him round you know how sensitive men are about their bits

i had bloated tummy and wind and was generally super aware of everything going on in my body. It was all a build up to a very heavy period, which lasted a week.

But I am not complaining.

Cheers

I have finally got my period this morning - what a relief, Definitely sending husband to the snip clinic. He reluctantly agreed, any one had a partner go through it, is it really awful of minimal pain and he is just being a wuss?

phew, glad you are ok.

DH was snipped. No real bother at all and definitely, according to him, not as intense as my forceps delivery with accompanying cut and stitches.

Yes I had 28 stiches and I couldn't sit down for three weeks!!! Should be a stroll for him then????
