Lots of people with unplanned babies on the way!

Did you have sex and assume you wouldn't get pregnant, did contraception fail, or were you just not thinking?

Congrats to all

In Jan I took the morning after pill and bled in Feb for 14 days, when my next period came in March it was very light so started taking Loestrin contraceptive pill. I took it exactly as per instructions, and vaguely remember having a slight period after the first month, then not much the two months after. In June my waistbands started to get really tight, and my man started to drag me out for morning runs and trips to the gym. I had felt pretty sick and tired for a while, swollen, aching breasts, sick and hungry and the same time, all the time. Being pregnant hadn't even entered my mind, I took a pregnancy test and found it to be positive. My due dates suggest implantation took place about three weeks after I started the pill, although i'm wondering if I started taking it on the implantation bleed and was pregnant the whole time I was on it.

just reading through this thread and thought i'd put mine on here too!

all my pgs have been unplanned in one way or another

dc1 - weren't trying but weren't not

dc2 - pull out method.....

just had a miscarriage 3 months ago after attempting calender method and now 8 weeks pg was on Micronor and never missed one

ok... going to have to add mine now...

DH and i were thinking about wee babbits but hadn't made a proper decision to 'try', just being a bit not careful - this was at the end of july...

anyway - i work for an international development NGO and was given 72 hours notice for a 2 week assignment in ethiopia. wasn't late or anything but thought i'd better take a test 'just in case', not expecting it to be anything but negative...

...my jaw just about hit the floor when the blue cross appeared. 6 hours before i was due to drive to the airport. massive flurry of panic about whether or not to take antimalarials (i didn't) and whether or not to go at all (i did).

omigod that was the hardest 2 weeks i've ever had!

anyway, am 9 weeks now and, inspite of brief hospitalisation with suspected malaria (turned out to be tummy bug picked up in ethiopia - phew) the weekend after i got back all seems to be ok...

wow, i feel like i'm in therapy!!!!
