This might be a long one and I'm probably over thinking but I've got myself stressed. I had my twins 12 weeks ago, they were extremely premature at 24+4, and it's been a stressful time since. They're doing well thank god but I absolutely do not want any more kids after all of this. I started taking the mini pill a month ago until I can get the mirena coil fitted next month, with everything that's been going on though I am very forgetfuland have definitely missed a few days. I had a normal (but heavy) period on 19/9 and only slept with my partner once since and I couldn't tell you the date. On 6/10 I had a lighter 2 day bleed followed by a day of spotting which I assume was an early period. Since then I have had cramping the past few days and today I woke up to pink spotting, assuming it was my period I popped in a pad and went out for a few hours. When I got home the pad was clean and the bleeding has totally stopped. My partner joked about me being pregnant the other day and now I can't get it out of my head. I'm afraid to take a test just incase it's positive. I can't handle having another baby right now. Please tell me I'm being daft 🙈

Hi @ElWill. My twins were also born extremely premature (2 weeks earlier than yours) and so I understand what a rough ride you must be having in NICU etc. It's tiring and draining and incredibly emotional. I understand what you mean about not wanting more children, but never say never (we're TTC).

The only way to know for sure is to test. I know that's horribly scary right now but you need to know. I'm offering a handhold whilst you do it. This is a conception board where everyone is desperately wanting a healthy baby/ies but always remember... if you ARE pregnant you do have options. The sooner you know the better really.

I hope your twins continue to do really well.

Take care of yourself Flowers
