Unexpected Pregnancy. Should I tell him?

[Skysdawn]

In shock right now and probably not thinking straight. I had sex 6 days after period so not a highly fertile time and I took the morning after pill the next morning. My period is late by 6 days and initially thought the morning after pill has thrown off my cycle any today I took a test and I am 1 - 2 weeks pregnant.

Do I tell him or not? We are not in a serious relationship but have been seeing eachother for a couple of years. I have never had a unexpected pregnancy a have always been very careful. I have 2 children and was not planning on having anymore hence taking the morning after pill.

I have been on the phone to a NHS clinic and apparently I can have a telephone consultation and then have 2 pills sent out which will stop the pregnancy. Has anyone been in this situation? I am very early which makes me feel batter about the situation as at this stage it can't be a hughe difference that taking the morning after pill?

I have never wanted to be in this situation but here I am. I don't want to share this with anyone in real life and I am also unsure if I should tell him? Do you think I should? To add we are older parents. I don't want to give too much details as it would be outing.

I now seem to have come on my period this morning??
Three tests said I was pregnant yesterday.

It may be that it's a very early miscarriage. I hope you're ok, take another test in a week and see what it says.

This. It’s a medical matter, not a relationship issue. You don’t need his opinion or input.

From everything you’ve written I’d say nothing
you sound well balanced and sure of your choices
there a danger of involving him could muddy the waters

It's for the OP to decide whether it's a relationship issue, surely? If she feels telling him would help her, then she should. He is being careless with her health and wellbeing by not using condoms.

I wouldn’t tell him because your medical details aren’t his business. It’s nothing to do with him, once you’ve decided that you are not going to allow the pregnancy to progress.

Quite possibly a miscarriage but test again soon to be sure.

I had my phone consultation today. I was hoping to get the pills ASAP but because I took the morning after pill I have to go in for a scan next week as it could have messed with dates apparently.

I feel like am on a proper period so I am really confused. I took another test today and it was a strong positive.

As far as I’m aware, the pregnancy hormones stick around for a while, so women who have had recent miscarriages have positive tests.

I suppose I will fine out more when I go in for a scan.

Not quite the same! Me and hubby battled for years for last baby ( took time and lost a son) eventually fell again all good! Well as good as a premmie baby gets. Ff 2 years we fell accidentally ( I was just back at work in a senior role baby in nursery. We got an abortion but did it together and tbh I needed that support. Suppose what I’m saying the person we make love too should help carry that load. Still your choice! My hubby was happy with whatever didn’t want to apply pressure just supported me. Had it on the Friday was back teaching on the Monday. Best decision ever. Don’t suffer alone it takes two xx
