To be freaking out?!

9 replies

I've NC for this. I know I am BU to post in AIBU and this should probably go in Sex but I'm posting for traffic and a hand hold as I'm freaking out.

DP and I were DTD last night. We've been having some stresses that have put a bit of pressure on us which has meant we haven't had much time to ourselves. We have a 7 month old DS who we loves to bits, but have decided, especially for now, we are happy not having anymore DC.

Anyway, I haven't been well so have stopped taking my pill (still trying to find a pill that's suiting me) so used a condom.

It fucking broke.

I'm freaking out. I'm calling the GP in the morning when they open to get the morning after pill. I finished my period two days ago and my mind is just reeling. I suffer with anxiety and it's stopping me thinking rationally. Is there a high chance I'll be pregnant. We haven't done anything in a while, so it all had a chance to... ahem...build up Blush

Please help keep me calm. Literally sat in bed panicking Sad

Don't panic, get the morning after pill and you should be ok. X

Why not just go to the chemist for the morning after pill? The usual procedure (at least in our case) is that the pharmacist takes you into a private room, checks a few things, gives you some water and the pill and that's it. All very calm and relaxed. No pressure and no waiting for an appointment.

Deep breath OP. Morning after pill tomorrow and that will be that - this soon after sex it will be highly effective, and it's very easy to get hold of. Try not to worry Thanks

It’s very unlikely for where you are in your cycle.

I was in your position last month but I was on day 14 so highly fertile! I just paid £35 at the pharmacy the next day for map.... you have 3-5 days depending on which one you take but chances of success do decrease the longer you leave it. I also went to gum and had a copper coil fitted as this too can be used as emergency contraceptive.

This was all successful for me

You don't need the gp to get the map.

You’re 2 days past period, that puts you on day 5-9 of cycle? Depending on how long period lasts?

Thank you all for your replies! I didn't realise I could go to the pharmacy and get morning after pill. I will just pop down to our local pharmacy.

My cycle is pretty regular and lasts for 5-6 days. I have been considering having a coil fitted, but had nothing but trouble with the last one, and the doctors don't recommend the injection form of contraception for health reasons.

I just feel so stupid. My DP was so apologetic even though it was just one of those things. I was a shaking mess and he just bought me a sweet cup of tea bless him 😅

If you’re on day 8 then it’s unlikely. But get the map still, just incase Flowers

You will be fine with the pill. You can also often order it online from chemists, answer the questions online and then just go in to pick up.
