I'm not sure what I'm asking here. I'm just feeling a little lost and a little helpless because it seems all I can do for now is wait.
I stopped my contraceptive pill in July this year when my partner and I decided we'd see what happens. We're open to the idea of having baby but if I didn't fall pregnant then oh well. We live apart at the moment (Bedfordshire and Birmingham) so we were only having sex every couple weeks but almost everyday during the 2 weeks.
My period hadn't come since July and at a smear test in September I mentioned to the nurse that I hadn't had a period since then and she did say it is normal for them to not return immediately however it is also possible to fall pregnant as soon as the pill is out of my system.
I took a pregnancy test on the 28th October as my partner noticed I was weeing a lot more often and I had some slight cramps. It was positive. I tested again the day after to be sure (a few years ago I had some positives that led to what we think was an early miscarriage so I was in disbelief when i did the first test) and then the two days following I did a digital test which confirmed I was 3+ weeks.
I contacted the surgery to arrange a midwife appointment and was advised we need to self refer now! Anyway i did all that but I'm too nervous to be excited because I have to wait more weeks to have a scan and I don't even know if I could be 5 weeks or 6 or 7 or 8 or what because of my LMP!
I called a private scan place who will see me in 2 weeks for a viability scan so I can relax once I see the baby but they said they can't do the dating scan even if there is a chance I may be over 8 weeks.
I'm trying to relax and not be stressed but I'm so confused and worried.
Thank you for reading if you got through all that xx
