Christmas overendulgence & missed pill...

[SS1988]

Hi guys

I’ve been trying to search the web and read as much info as I can on this.

Christmas Eve I missed my pill so took 2 together I’m on leostrin 20 at around 7pm, I suffer with anxiety so got a bit carried away with the drink xmas eve, was subsequently sick twice early Christmas morning and suffered with a dodgy tummy aswell later on that day. Didn’t have much memory of this and took my pill that day as normal, stayed at my bfs house that eve and we had sex twice which wouldn’t normally be an issue but it wasn’t until the next day I thought about it and I’m now trying to work out if I should be worried about being pregnant or not. The more I think about it the more I think I feel different but then that’s just me winding myself up. I’ve got a week left in my pill pack so won’t really be able to do much till the break week, so I’m just after people’s opinions and thoughts. It wouldn’t be the worse thing in the world as I am nearly 30 and the bf is 37 but he’s just lost his mum and got a lot of other issues to deal with at the moment with psycho ex’s and the like.

So any words of advice would be much appciated x

Sounds like you want to be pregnant. You knew you'd taken a risk and if you didn't want to be pregnant you could've taken the morning after pill. Could have gone to a supermarket pharmacy on Boxing Day. Did you tell your boyfriend on Christmas Day that you'd already missed a pill on 24/12 and then been sick on 25/12 so invalidated the pills you took late, so were effectively having unprotected sex? Age doesn't matter, what does matter is whether you both want to have a baby.

You'd never get symptoms this early if you are pregnant, just test around 6 Jan and see what it says. If you're worried about the alcohol, you don't need to be, any embryo is completely separate from your bloodstream til around 5 weeks.

We’d both love to have a baby, there just is a lot more to consider and I wish it was as simple as that.

You’ve answered my questions thank you, so even though I had taken my missed pill but because I was sick regardless of time it counteracts the protection? Just to be clear. X

Tbh not sure, depends on whether you were sick within 2 hours, or ongoing - you said your memory's a bit hazy. NHS page here: www.nhs.uk/Conditions/contraception-guide/Pages/pill-sick-vomit-diarrhoea.aspx

If you don't want to be pg yet you could look at getting an emergency coil placed.

Having read your other thread, honestly you deserve so much more than this. Someone who treats you well and doesn't involve you in stupid drama or mess you around. Really, you've only been dating for a while and it should be blissful. He should treat you like gold. Hoping for the best 4u.
