Line eye?! Omg please help currently walking about house crying. Is this positive

Hi everyone so I got a coil swap over last week. From the mirena to the Kyleena. They told me to abstain from sex for 7 days or use condoms. But we did not once. This was last Tuesday I got the coil swap over. And I had sex the Saturday the few days before. I done a pregnancy test today and I swear I see a second line! But would a pregnancy test show up this early on?! HELP

Did you tell your boyfriend you'd been advised to use condoms?

Most unwanted pregnancies happen because of similar circumstances. Luckily in the UK we are still entitled to a termination regardless of how it happened.

In any case it looks like the op, if she is in fact pregnant, would keep it.

I don’t think there’s any clear lines in these pics, it’s a tide mark from a faulty/flooded test window. There should be a clear defined line (even if very faint) with colour to it, your pics show first part of the test window being slightly darker and the other part of the window being lighter. I think you should do another test.

@Yourguessisasgoodasmine no idea what you said as it’s been deleted sorry :(

Well, you were specifically told not to risk having sex without condoms and you did so 9 (? it seems?) times despite not wanting a baby. No, I don’t think you’re being judged harshly. You’ve been bafflingly irresponsible - you’re old enough to know better and have kids so you know how this works - and people aren’t pretending otherwise!

Obviously this was planned because nobody who has an unplanned pregnancy is testing this obsessively early, especially during a coil change

Quite.

Nope, just honest and realistic

You are just another anonymous internet bully

Glad you cleared that up for me

Stop attacking people for having different views. Someone who goes against medical advice repeatedly, then sounds surprised she’s pregnant isn’t winning any intelligence or responsibility awards.

Why do we have to be sympathetic when people are playing with lives? Children should be an intentional choice by two responsible parents. Not some “accident” because the parents can’t comprehend basic instructions.

Why? Who cares honestly. If she’s pregnant then that’s the consequence of unprotected sex. Many children are born in the same circumstances. I don’t get why so many people need to tell her off. She’s an adult with a child already. I’m sure if she’s pregnant she will have 9 months to get excited or she can have an abortion if she’s not in the position to have a child, which she said she wouldn’t do. Google reckons only 55% of pregnancies are planned.

For what its worth, that doesn't look like a positive test to me.

Have a chat with the nurse tomorrow, in general if your coil was in date when you changed to the new one you're not at increased risk of pregnancy. Mirenas last 8 years now. There may be a reason why this didn't apply to you so its worth checking but if the nurse was just being cautious - happy days.

You can find the info about changing from one coil to an other in the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health Guidelines on intrauterine contraception.

Hey I checked it 3-5 mins after. Is a negative completely blank ?

You know we have declining birth rates don’t you? Lots of people are concerned about the impact that will have over the next few decades. Maybe OPs lack of precautions are a public service

I hope you are being facetious!

There’s a lot wrong with two irresponsible parents having unplanned pregnancies. That’s not a gift to society at all.

A third of babies born are apparently unplanned. ‘Happy accident’. Having unprotected sex in a committed relationship doesn’t make someone an unfit parent. Just chill out.

OP buy a digital test and do it with your first morning wee. That’ll tell you without the line guessing

Thank you! I will. Does it look positive to you

The OP, despite having been asked several times, has avoided answering whether she told her partner that she'd been advised to use condoms. Potentially lying to a partner and tricking them into becoming a parent "in a committed relationship" could be considered not a great start to becoming a parent with them.

Yes I told my partner also about it. He was also well aware.

Well, at least you both want more kids!

I’m not attacking someone for having different views, I’m calling out someone for calling the OP vile names - like a bully. HTH

This is not a reference to the OP's situation but the Public Health England stat is that 1/3 of births are "unplanned or ambivalent" and that there is a correlation with negative mental and physical wellbeing for both the mother and the child. Unplanned pregnancies do not necessarily mean the parent(s) are unfit, of course not, but the stats do not suggest that unplanned or ambivalent pregnancies are necessarily 'happy accidents'.

Why on earth did you completely disobey the instructions? You basically tried to have a baby by doing so.
