Hi guys.

No excuses here haha, just a 30 year old in a relationship with a 27 year old who was extremely turned on on a nice sober saturday night before dinner.
We are EXTREMELY careful usually, he pulls out a few mins before he finishes with a condom. No issues..Im not on birth control purely because we never ever let him finish in me. Except this time, with the condom on, he finished fully inside of me. Except to our horror, the condom had COMPLETELY snapped off..I was approaching my most fertile days (I was on day 9 but my periods last 3-4 days) and felt VERY turned on which is how I feel when im ovulating so for the last 5 days ive been in intermittent anxiety as I am PETRIFIED of being pregnant; weirdly not of being a mother but of morning sickness, carrying a child, etc..I had an onset liver issue last year and have since dropped a ton of weight, struggled mentally, emotionally and physically as its meant i cant eat properly. I wonder if this would infact effect my fertility in the future and if thats why I shouldnt be worried.

Ive been with my guy for 6 months and we are VERY close. We talk about future and stuff but obviously its still technically new. He states how panicked he is and how despite me being the one to decide what wed do if i were pregnant that he is "so, SO not ready". On the flip side, he constantly mentions how he cant wait to father my kids and how he'll be there for me eitherway.

SO.
Immediately after sex we got our coats on, rushed to the pharmacy to find it was closed when he suggested we go to the walk-in. to my surprise they gave the plan b to me immediately; they stated i was being safe as Id took it 30min after intercourse but obviously im aware if I was ovulating we're screwed. I then took an ovulation test which was negative...I took another 10hrs later in an obsessive mindset which was still negative.

I have had to take my mind off everything as I have started a new job and thankfully so immersed in that that I cant dwell on being a potential parent but my boyfriend who is SUUUPER chill keeps asking me "how you feeling babe? have you uh, come on yet?" to which I tell him im due on in 2 weeks and have pretty much sworn to myself that i wont fixate as this made me very ill when i had a scare ten years ago.

Judge away haha, it was risky and an early relationship but if anyone has had unprotected sex on their fertile days and been successful with the morning after please let me know x

Take a deep breath - you did absolutely everything you could have in the situation. If it helps at all, before pregnancy, I had 3-4 day periods and always ovulated around 14dpo, so if I took the MAP on day 9 (which would be the beginning of my fertile period), it should have done it’s job! The lack of positive ovulation tests is a good sign that is has done the job for you here ☺️

I know the wait to AF sucks (many of us have been there!!), but it’s all you can really do so try not to obsess over it. The MAP may knock your AF due date a little - it has made me late in the past - so just be aware of that so you aren’t thrown into an immediate panic if it doing show up bang on time. If it works for you, I would also definitely consider going on birth control, just in case you have another condom slip up in the future. Hopefully being extra extra covered with pill/coil/implant AND condoms AND withdrawal will help put your mind at ease ☺️

MAP didn’t work for me, so I know it can fail but if your ovulation test is negative that’s unlikely. If you want to be really safe go and get an emergency coil fitted as you can do that for up to 5 days after.
