Pregnant immediately after abortion

I feel like an absolute idiot.
Had abortion mid may. Yet to have a period, just tested positive so I guess that’s why.
Not much else to say really. I’m devastated. Have been on the pill the whole time. Not sure even how far along i am, as I’ve had sex a couple of times a week up until last week since two weeks post abortion.
I’ve already called the abortion provider for another consultation and they were lovely and non judgemental but I feel so embarrassed and disgusted in myself. Has anyone else been through this? How did you feel? I am hoping they’ll be able to post the tablets out to me again but as I can’t pinpoint my gestation I feel they might want me to go in to their clinic
Thank you

You are definitely doing the right thing if it is the best outcome for you.

Best of luck.

Don't beat yourself up over it. I had a termination after getting pregnant with the coil. Contraception can and does fail.

Their not going to make you carry a pg you don’t want.

This happened to me when I was 21. I was an idiot though because I hadn't yet started on the pill and somehow didn't think I could get pregnant immediately after an abortion. You see, that's an idiot.

@blondiney how did you get on did they judge you at all or say anything bad or was they happy to help.

@Ohhyeahright

What are the odds of the pill failing twice?
It's happened to me too. Stuff being rare doesn't mean it doesn't happen!

Zara it’s really inappropriate to revive this sensitive thread, people are replying to the original post (OP), you need to start your own thread, in Pregnancy Choices section.

@nowevenbetter was asking for advice sorry I've offered you cheers for the help 👍

Start your own thread, it’s the best way @Louboo11, otherwise people will reply to the original zombie post.

I don’t really understand this bit though:

I've had sex a couple of times but used the morning after pill as was waiting to come on my first period before I could take the pill...

The MAP only works to prevent ovulation. If you’ve already ovulated, it doesn’t work at all. Therefore, it’s not really suitable as contraception in the same way a barrier like condoms are. Anyway, start a thread and I hope you get some help.

It happened to me! I was taking the progesterone-only pill. The first time I had a miscarriage, and the second time I ended up with a baby!

I don't know, but I have fallen pregnant twice in my life while on the pill. It happens.
