I feel sick...

Help me please, I'm really worried. Recently I posted about feeling broody. I've discussed this quite a bit with my partner and while he doesn't feel the urge he's fine about my feelings but would like us to wait until we're in an even better financial position - if everything goes well with his qualifications he may be able to support me as a sahm within a couple of years and as we're still young this would suit our reproductive needs well.

However, I had what I thought was the start of my period a couple of days ago and as we use the withdrawal method I told him he didn't need to. My 'period' turned out to be spotting even though it was due. I'm now feeling sick, sensitive nipples and increased sense of smell. I'm not sure if I'm just working myself into a state as my period can be a bit iffy anyway but it's now two days late.

He knows that I understand the logic behind his argument and it's just my hormones kicking in. Ideally I would prefer not to have to return to work straight away. This is also a bad time for him to have this pressure as he's coming to his last few important exams and he's already really stressed.

I'm so worried that he'll resent me or maybe even think I tricked him into it. I really did think it was my period but now I'm even doubting myself!! I can't bring myself to POAS and I feel so sick.

The only way to know is to poas so I suppose its the only way to make you feel better.

The worrying may be for nothing unless you get a BFP

Keep us updated x

I really think you need to POAS and give yourself an answer one way or the other, rather than drive yourself crazy wondering 'if'. If it's a negative you have no problem (although without sounding preachy would strongly advise a more reliable form of contraception in future than the withdrawal method). If it's a positive the earlier you find out the more options you have open to you. All you could do in this circumstance is have an honest conversation with him and explain that it was a genuine accident, and then review your options. Good luck and let us know how it goes. x

Thanks guys, tbf the withdrawal has worked for us for ages - the pill makes me ill - we use condoms st peak times lol.
We've been together 8 years and we're not in a position where we can't support a baby. We'd just prefer to be more comfortable.
It's just so annoying that this will happen now when I've been a bit baby mad. I wouldn't blame him for having suspicions. We have a really honest relationship and I'd hate him to think badly of me :(

All will be fine regardless of the result. But only one way to find out...

Its only been 4 days since we dtd. Is it too early for a bfp?

If the spotting is going to turn into your period, then the chances are very very low you'll get pregnant. If it's only been 4 days then it's way too early to test. You will be able to test reliable around 12 days after ovulation. However, I think your period will show up soon de to spotting around the time it is due. The symptoms can be PMS.

I would also use condoms all the time, you can't reliably predict when the peak time is without temping or using opks.
