Hi all. I’m struggling to know what to do/think right now so just looking for a sympathetic ear I guess. Long story short. I separated from my emotionally abuse partner 2 months ago. In Jan of this year I found out I was pregnant and after a lot of manipulation it was decided to have an abortion. This was incredibly traumatic for me emotionally and physically (I ended up in hospital). So fast forward to now..... 2 weeks ago I slept with my ex partner. I took the morning after pill the next day but didn’t realise it doesn’t work if you’ve already ovulated, which according to my app I had. Call my naive but I’ve never taken it before and it wasn’t made clear to me that it doesn’t work in that 24 hour window. And now I think I might be pregnant. I took a test this morning at 12dpo and it was negative but something just doesn’t feel “normal” it could be hormones from the morning after pill but would I still be feeling that 12 days after taking it? If I am pregnant I couldn’t have another abortion and I have a 2 year old already. I’m not going to be on a relationship with my ex because he lives 300 miles from me and has also only just come out of a 10 yr relationship. Both our ex partners are going to be devastated. I just feel like I’m in a total mess. I’m working as a temp so won’t get maternity and still haven’t found somewhere for me and DS to live, let alone someone for 2 children! I feel like I’m spinning and I can’t talk to anyone I know about it because I know they’ll judge me 😓

I wanted to reply as I can see how this is affecting you. Firstly I’d wait and see if you’re pregnant, either take another test (what brand did you use?) or ask the doctors for a blood test and explain your situation with the morning after pill.

Secondly, if it turns out you are pregnant, do you have any family you can talk to? if not, it might be worth talking through your concerns with your doctor. Or there will be places you can talk to people but I do think you need to talk to someone about it.

I’m sorry I feel I haven’t really helped you but really didn’t want to leave your post unanswered.

Thanks for replying. I do have family but my sister has literally just found out she’s pregnant after IVF so that makes it difficult to have a real discussion with anyone. Guess I’m just going to have to wait and see.

I’d take it one step at a time. See if you’re pregnant first and go from there. I hope it all works out for you though 😘
