Chances of being pregnant?

Hi ladies, need some help and reassurance please. Here is some background. My DD2 is 16 weeks old and due to rapid degeneration of my pre eclampsia she was born in v poor condition by crash section at 34 weeks. In fact it took 16 mins for them to get her to breathe or to get a heart beat. She was in ICU for 12 days but fortunately at the moment doesn't seem to have suffered any lasting effects. However DD1 was also born 4 weeks early by emergency section after getting into distress because of me suffering pre eclampsia in that pregnancy too. DP and I have talked a lot and decided that its too risky for me or any potential future baby for us to have any more children.
So on to the reason for my post. I am exclusively breastfeeding DD2 on demand and have been since she was about 6 weeks but previous to that was expressing for her. I had the depo injection on 6th september and DP and I have had sex only twice since she was born. Once just after the injection and once late last week (sry if tmi) I have had a 3 or 4 day bleed last week too. However I have felt quite poorly the last few days and today have had chronic nausea and a headache all day. Also suffering indigestion which is something I only ever experience in pregnancy. We are in the process of buying a new house which has been quite stressful so am not sure whether its stress/anxiety or whether I could be pregnant. If I am I don't know what to do. I do not believe in termination but I really don't want to take the risk of a third pregnancy. I know the only way to be totally sure is to POAS but what are the chances?

If you're exclusively breastfeeding AND had depo, the chances are minuscule. If you had a 3-4 day bleed a week ago, I'd assume that was your period. Bear in mind that most hormonal contraception can have side effects similar to early pregnancy symptoms, it's more likely to be that.

That was my thinking but you know how it is when something gets into your brain and goes round and round and round. Especially at 4 am Smile

To reassure yourself go POAS but I think your fretting and you don't need to.

Stressful situations tend to cause worry about unnessacery things

Poas is the only way you will find out good luck x
