Hello Lovelies!

I had sex on my ovulation day - thinking I was clever we used a Durex extra safe. Except the damn thing slipped off!! He had finished inside me before we realised - cue me freaking out moaning at him haha.

I have two children already (5 in total but 3 are angel babies) so I don't have trouble with conception.

I took a morning after pill within 2 hours of the deed but there's 'that' voice in the back of my head - Gulp.

I have had a headache past few days, been sick twice but feel sick most of the time (I get Hypremisis in all my pregnancies so it always starts early), tired, no real breast changes and some noticeable cramps.

Im not due on until the 25/2 but so is it too early to test now?

I would test, just to get it out my head x

sabrinathemiddleagewitch · 20/02/2021 22:00

You could test now with first response 6 days early tests

popcorndiva · 20/02/2021 22:01

Had you already ovulated as morning after pill doesn't work if egg has been released?

Arrierttyclock · 20/02/2021 22:03

Really sorry to say but this is how I got pregnant. I didn't realise I was ovulating and the condom split. I took the MAP but it didn't work. I ended up having an abortion as I really really didn't want a baby. This was about 8 years ago. Really hope you get a different outcome xx

TwirpingBird · 20/02/2021 22:04

I would test tomorrow morning with FMU. Pee now. Dont pee or drink again between now and the morning.

I hope it's just your head on overdrive.

Thank you for your replies! :)

I would have ovulated the night before (Deed took place in the early morning). I took an ovulation test and it was positive at the time hence the rush for a MAP...

I didn't realise they won't work if you have already ovulated. Ahhh!

Thank-You, Ive just ordered first response from Amazon... Are theses the best ones? Youngest is 8 so its been a while!

Good luck OP! Hope you get the outcome you want.

TwirpingBird · 20/02/2021 22:13

I got both my BFPs 6 days early with the cheapy strip/dip tests from home bargains. If you dont want to wait for the first response you could take a trip to your nearest shop. I would 100% take this as an essential purchase btw.

Wannabangbang · 20/02/2021 22:13

Hope things work out okay for you op. It says they don't work but sometimes they do interfere with ovulation so hopefully you will be safe

DD is 2 next month, conceived as a one hit wonder, on my ovulation day.....morning after pill taken less than 12 hours later.

Best accident that ever happened but I'm afraid to say that the MAP is not very effective after ovulation.

sabrinathemiddleagewitch · 20/02/2021 22:21

From Avawoman.con

"A few independent studies have been done to test the sensitivity of various pregnancy test brands. Based on these studies, hCG threshold data for a few common pregnancy test brands are available:
• Clearblue (manual and digital tests): 22 mIU/ml
• e.p.t. (manual and digital tests): 22 mIU/ml
• First Response Early Results: 6.3 mIU/ml"

Oh gosh...

Lovely that you have a DD now!

Thank you for all your help. She says sat here after being sick, now having a hot flush.

I will text on Monday with FMU and up date you all. Who am I kidding I got 4 tests and I will be waiting by the front door :D

Good luck op xx

Annwen · 21/02/2021 12:58

Similar thing happened to me when I was single - he left it too long before pulling out and the pesky condom was left inside me. He got it out as soon as we realised, but semen had leaked already. It was on ovulation day as well or one day out. Got the MAP as soon as I could, but had a terrible couple of weeks imagining all sorts of symptoms, but thankfully wasn't expecting in the end. Went back on the pill sharpish after that scare!
I would test ASAP if I were you - you need to put your mind to rest if you'r anything like I was!

Just a little up date. I took a test but its the faintest line ever, so I'm pretty sure it's an evaporation line.

I'll wait a few days to be sure.

OP posts:
treesall · 21/02/2021 18:54

@Jellyfishgal89 I think it would be expected to be very very faint given your AF isn't due for a free days yet. Did the faint line come up within the window you're meant to view results? Or was it a long time later?

All 5 times I've had positive tests they have started very very faint...

november90 · 21/02/2021 19:03

Try with your FMU OP and hopefully that will clear things up because if you're testing early and it's not FMU it might not be strong enough to detect the hormone if that makes sense!

Jellyfishgal89 · 21/02/2021 19:13

Line came up straight away, it seemed so so faint but reading into it, you're right that it would be so faint right now.

This is such a waiting game!

I will do FMU

Thank you so much for your replies, so helpful Xxx

@treesall

Good luck this morning *@Jellyfishgal89*
Thank you! It's positive and a bit strong than yesterday's...

Gulp. I don't even know how to feel right now, a little in shock I think!

OP posts:
zippityzip · 22/02/2021 08:15

Do you have pics of the test? Is it definitely positive.

TwirpingBird · 22/02/2021 08:17

Oh wow OP! I think I just felt a little sick for you.

Take a breath. Try not to panic. All situations have solutions one way or another

sabrinathemiddleagewitch · 22/02/2021 08:22

Wow okay, that's pretty accurate then. You have options at this stage it's very early days. Can you discuss with partner and have some support either way?

I've just got to work now (NHS Slave)

I really need to think about this long and hard because We hadn't planned any. To be Frank right now, I'm feeling pretty crap about it. But you're right, I have options. A day at work will help me get some focus 😊

Arrierttyclock · 24/02/2021 06:55

Hope you're okay OP xx
