As there seems to be a reproduction/contraception theme this evening

and I think I know the answer, but feel like a mope about it.
Dh and I have two (generally) lovely daughters. We've always promised ourselves a big family but the reality of financing one took over, although we never got around to making any permenant arrangements for contraception.

Last night a condom broke on us for the first time ever. I'm mid-cycle. Am I REALLY being unreasonable to not take the morning after pill?
Really?

I want a Shades of Grey baby damn-it!

Yanbu it's your body.

SoleSource · 30/07/2012 23:06

Go for it.

Depends if you are both willing to have another kid. Yes its your body but it's his life too.

Discuss with with your DH, not us.

If you both decide it shouldn't be taken then hopefully you'll get your wish.

If he doesn't want more children he needs to be using more than condoms.

strugglingwiththepreteenbit · 30/07/2012 23:17

Oh, I know I'm being unreasonable alright! If we had another child we'd have to get our tweenagers to share a room, we've just got to like having two incomes again and recovered a bit from years of coping with one, we're not spring chickens any more...

But I still get broody, and it's tempting to not do the "right" thing.

Seriously, discuss it with him.

For all you know he might have the same secret longing Grin

strugglingwiththepreteenbit · 30/07/2012 23:28

I have, Worra! He's said;
"It's your body and I can't tell you what to do." (In a respectful rather than exasperated sense.)
"It would be nice in lots of ways but..." (reasons as as given above)

Which isn't helping!

If you can afford it without claiming benefits and you are both happy to do it, then I don't see what's stopping you. Although I'd find out how reluctant the teenagers will be to move in together first.

As long as when you say 'Shades of Grey baby' you mean one concieved when you were reading the book and not that you want to hatch a vacuous simpering bimbo with a bitten off bottom lip or an abusive arsehole who honks of bodywash.

His answers sound like a cop out. You need an actual discussion with facts and figures and actual opinions, not wishy washy answers.
