...and then recklessly had unprotected sex around your fertile period, what would you do?

Wait and then do a live test on mnet of course

BonyM · 28/05/2007 21:54

Hmm - thing is, I am panicking a bit now as I'm really not sure that it would be the right thing.

Ahhh...did you get the morning after pill after the event?

BonyM · 28/05/2007 21:58

No - that's what we're debating. There is still time to take it.

Cannot decide what to do! There are pros and cons to either outcome. I sort of feel we should leave it to "fate" but dh doesn't like leaving things to fate!

Ahh, I see...very difficult decision....depends on how much you want/don't want another child....

bless hatrick
I would always go with fate personally we only semi discussed DD2[our third] and she was a complete shock as DD1 was only 4mths when we found out!!I wouldnt be without her though

BonyM · 28/05/2007 22:04

We are both completely split down the middle - wanting/not wanting. Am wondering if maybe the wanting part is winning a bit though as I knew that it was risky (and told dh) but persuaded him to take the risk. Irresponsible I know - should know better at my age!

I think that if you were definitely sure you didn't want another, you'd have taken the pill by now. Just my opinion, but that's how I would judge it myself if I was in your position.

BonyM · 28/05/2007 22:12

A big part of me would love another one, but I will be 41 this year and have found having dd2 physically draining (she is just 2). Life is starting to get easier again and I just don't know if I can go back to the newborn stage again.

I agree with Bristols myself. Sounds to be you are secretly hoping...
Nothing wrong with that only you 2 can decide.
Good luck with your decision.

DimpledThighs · 28/05/2007 22:48

agree - if you didn't want you wouldn't do.

agnesnitt · 29/05/2007 11:27

I took the pill after a moment of recklessness... I'm 32+4

Good luck!

Agnes

LucyJones · 29/05/2007 11:28

ooh what did you decide BonyM?

funnypeculiar · 29/05/2007 11:29

Agree with others - suspect your real feeliong is to go for it
Am also jealous, so think you should have my surrogate third child

BonyM · 29/05/2007 21:03

Congratulations Agnes!

Well, I haven't bought the pill and don't think I will now. What will be will be! I'll know in a couple of weeks, although my gut feeling is that I won't be pg.

Funny thing is, since this has happened dh says that from being 50/50 he's now 60/40 for having another one .

If you aren't 100% I wouldn't bother.
