Unexpected positive OPK - bit the shed...

I may have effed up and, full disclosure, I know this makes me a colossal donut (I'm in my mid-thirties for chrissakes 🙄)

I'm 2 months postpartum from DD2. Partner and I do want another baby at some point but I was hoping to get to her being at least 1 before we tried again, mostly to physically recover and because I'd like to keep breastfeeding her.

Had collected a prescription for the mini pill and started taking it a few days ago. Had a contraceptive f* up yesterday and thought eh, I'm exclusively breastfeeding and hopefully it's too soon, but I'll get the morning after pill just in case. Before I went to the pharmacy today, I realised I had all the symptoms of ovulation - mittelschmerz, EWCM, finding every single movement my partner made appealing, the works. I went to the pharmacy, took the morning after pill and decided when I got home to do an ovulation test to check... Boom, lit up like a Christmas tree.

Break it to me gently, am I f*ed? I do want another baby but the idea of being pregnant already again honestly makes me want to cry. And I know it's my own fault but still... Currently stress eating Nutella from the jar...
