Unexpected 3rd baby pregnancy. TW.

Hi,
I have just found out I'm pregnant with baby #3. Im 23. This baby is unplanned. I have been on the pill religiously, and have just had the depo injection done on the 10th of this month (10/07/2024).
I have 2 children. Girl and boy. Girl is 3.5, suspected autism, non verbal, high care needs. 2nd is a boy, calm and not really any concerns regarding ASD.
Question #1, anyone who has been in this situation, can you offer any advice? Did you cope? Did your partner soften? Did you regret?
#2 is, with the depo being so close to my positive tests, is this causing problems? I have no idea. I haven't had a period since June, a 37 day cycle to when I was meant to have my period (7 days ago). I tested to rule it out, thinking my stomach aches, headaches and late period was the depo injection. My head is a mess. I want to cry but can't, I have even laughed because I have been so careful. I didn't want anymore children.

Please if you can offer any advice, I would really appreciate the comment. I have also added a photo of my tests, just to confirm they are positive and I haven't gone absolutely insane as that is how I feel.

I’m really sorry you’ve found yourself in this position. Looks like your first step is a GP appt to find out how far along you are and what your options might be. I understand how it feels, I had an unplanned pregnancy as a teenager and it’s awful. Take it step by step is my advice, give yourself time to think if you can x

How long after having the depot medication did you stop taking your pill?

@Rainbowsponge thank you for the comforting message.

@Crickettune 7 days. Took as I should have. Seems I fell unlucky.
