Ok i can not actually believe i am here writing this BUT i am beginning to think i MAY be pg & i really cant believe i am in this situation.

I am not ttc & i do NOT want anymore kids at this point in my life (oh please dear god)

BUT me & dp did "it" & i had not taken my pill, i am now paronoid because i am feeling shattered i even slept for 3 hrs yesterday afternoon & that i sooo not like me, i have also been feleing v sick but i have put this down to a bug (wishful thinking one may say)

I know the answer is to do a test but i dont have one at the moment (well acutally i do but they are the cheap ones of ebay & are now out of date? ) & am to scared to even go down that route.

Why oh why have i got myself in this STUPID situation. Please keep your fingers crossed for me

is your af late? you know, you do have to test. don't leave it too long. did you bd at the wrong/right time of the month?

have you told you dp? you need some rl support. When I was actively ttc, I could convince myself daily that I had all the pg symptoms going and they always turned out to be false. Try not to worry. Sorry, I don't have anything more constructive to say.

Good luck...

WigWamBam · 30/07/2006 17:33

You have to go down that route - you think you may be pregnant so you need to find out for sure so that you can plan your next move. Hiding your head in the sand won't help, and putting it off may make things worse depending on what you decide to do if the outcome is positive.

Boots tomorrow, buy a test, pee on it. We'll be here if you need some support, but you have to do it.

Blandmum · 30/07/2006 17:36

While pill did you miss?

Are you late?

tortoise · 30/07/2006 17:36

Right now for the facts lol

I am crap at taking the pill but have not been bd because i went off it after having dd, but we did it couple of times this month & 1 of them i thought i had taken my pill but i had not when i looked the next day (i was gutted)

my period is due on friday/saturday so not even due yet.

We did the deed 10 days after i started taking my pill again BUT in these 10 days i have missed wait for it.........

4 PILLS !!!!! OMG my memory is like a sieve & this is sooo not good.

I sort of dropped it in to dp today but he was horrified at the fact of any more little ones running around just like myself.

I am so stupid & i have got myself into this silly situation i just pray it is a negative.

To make matters worse we only did the deed twice in one month when i fell pg with dd.

Blandmum · 30/07/2006 17:49

OK, calm down a tad.

Missing 4 *isn't good, but as long as they were not the first 4 in the pack you may well be OK. It is the first few and the last few in the pack that are the most 'dangerous' ones to miss.

Did you miss the 4 as a block?

Scoobydooooo · 30/07/2006 17:50

Right i missed... pills 3&4 pill 7 pill 10 this was the one we bd...

bubblerock · 30/07/2006 17:51

Yikes! - If this all turns out ok then sort out different contraception, I had the implant in my arm a few weeks ago and it's fantasic to not have to worry each month!! Hope it's just worry causing the symptoms but best to find out - good luck

Scoobydooooo · 30/07/2006 17:52

I used to be very good at taking the pill but since being back on it after having dd it has all gone totally wrong... My memory is v bad at the moment.

OP posts:

Blandmum · 30/07/2006 17:54

Not ideal, but it would have been much worse to have missed pills 1-4. You can 'manage' a pill free break of 7 days without ovulating, adding to the pill free break risks a break through ovulation.

I can't give you an absolute OK, but don't panic, it could be worse honest (I used to work in medical info for a company that makes the pill)

Test yourself when you are due and you might be better with a jab or inplant of marina coil??

tortoise · 30/07/2006 17:54

Im amazed at you knowing exactly when you dod the deed! I never remembered which day we had done it!(with now xp!)

Scoobydooooo · 30/07/2006 18:02

I only know tortoise because i new it was on a weekend or friday & i can tell by the pill i have missed on my pill packet, otherwise i would not have a blimmin clue!

Thanks MB, i have everything crossed as it is the last thing i need right now!

I have just done the out of date test & it was neg it only went out of date in april will it make a idfference though?

OP posts:

Blandmum · 30/07/2006 18:03

again, not ideal, but it doesn't magicaly stop working at the sart of April IYSWIM (have worked on this technology too, would you belive!....nice to be useful for a change )

Scoobydooooo · 30/07/2006 18:05

OP posts:

tortoise · 30/07/2006 18:06

As your period is not due yet i would wait until the weekend to test again if no period.

Panic over Af has arrived, phoned dp & he said he is sooooooo pleased what a relief!

OP posts:

lemonaid · 04/08/2006 11:35

Congratulations!

For future use, what about the patch? You don't need such a good memory as with the pill (just need to change it once a week).

FullOfTestosterone · 04/08/2006 11:54

So pleased for you scoobydoo!

I am in the same boat, one really impossible mistep (foreplay..), but Af is late! and boobs are sore!
Did the test and it is negative, but I am still scared!
Can you send some AF vibes my way please!

Scoobydooooo · 04/08/2006 11:59

Thanks we are just over the moon & of course have learn't a lesson because we are sooo not ready fro no 3

FullOfTestosterone - Lots of AF vibes coming your way, i hope you get the result you want.

I am going to have to find out about this patch i would be much better at just changing it once a week, its not easier to fall pg on the patch though is it?

Can you tell i am so scared about falling pg again i think the answer is to no bd at all sure dp would be very unimpressed

OP posts:

FullOfTestosterone · 04/08/2006 12:25

SD - I am a strong believer of no BD ever again ! is the only sure method! lol!

I am scheduled for a sterilization in a few weeks, but getting really scared of the op.... No other method gives you 100% safety... I so don't want any more kids!

Have you consider the mirena coil? That you don't even have to remember to change it once a week!

Scoobydooooo · 04/08/2006 15:42

I could not have the coil, i know it sounds silly but i am dreadful with anything like that i hate smears i am just a big baby

How many children do you have ?

We may have 1 more but not till later on in life, i find it hard with the 2 i have now.

OP posts:

FullOfTestosterone · 04/08/2006 16:19

Scooby, I have two. and that seems to be to the limit of my capacity!

My memory is also incapable of keeping track of anything! that is why I really need a more permanent solution! Hopefully the patch will be a better solution for you!
