long story but will try to make short!

i came off contraception over a year ago as none of them agreed with me and I just did not want hormones being pumped into my body anymore. The copper coil was never an option as I had heard so many negatives regarding heavy bleeding so me and my partner decided to just use condoms.

all has been absolutely fine up until we went on holiday in June and had one drunken night. During this time I was on provera prescribed by my GP to stop my bleeding (my period was due at the time we was away) which worked and the minute I stopped taking them I had a bleed for about 10 days. I then took another course last week due to being on a girls holiday for 4 nights.

I’ve been exhausted and feeling drained for the last 3 weeks and feeling hungry 24/7, and I couldn’t pin point what was causing it other than being a mum of 2 young children (3+2) working and all the usual.

my partner suggested to take a test as obviously we knew we was idiots that one night on holiday, and so I did today and I’m 95% sure it’s positive.

im undecided on what I want to do yet as another baby was not on my cards. as selfish as it sounds I’ve just started getting glimpses of my old life back before children and actually being able to start finding myself again, working etc.

does this look positive to everyone else? And regarding the fact I’ve been taking provera which apparently is a no no when you’re pregnant do I need to speak to my GP?

thank you for reading.

it does look it to me, but hard to see if it's grey or pink in the picture? Can you do another one? it looks clear enough that it should be positive even if it's not with FMU so long as it's not really diluted

@Elttek my partners going to grab a digital as based on the last time we had unprotected sex it's been over a month now. My last period was way back in may so I can't really go off that due to the fact I took provera whilst on holiday to stop my bleeding. But il update later after the digital!

Well clear blue digital confirms 1-2 weeks 🙈

yikes! from what you described it would have been pretty low odds of it happening.
What will you do? I bet it's a bit of a shock to take in!

@Elttek I've no idea to be honest I need a little time to think it all over. Realistically financially, mentally I'm not ready for a baby. I wanted to wait until the girls were in school together before I had another (or thought about another anyway) but at the same time are you ever ready for a baby?!

Lots of thinking to do about pros and cons I suppose 😅
