Is my pos pg test to be believed?

[pollywollywoowah]

Hope somebody can help me! DH and I had unprotected sex 12 days ago. I took the morning after pill 36hrs later. I have read a lot about the pill not working so I have just done a pg test and it is positive.

Is this likely to be a proper positive or am I likely to go on to have a period as I took the pill? Sorry this is a bit jumbled, only chance to type when DH isn't here and will want to know what I'm doing!

DH will not be happy if I am pg. We have DS (nearly 3) and DD (18mths) and did not plan to have any more. He knows termination not an option for me though as we have discussed it but even so . .

Help!

If it is a proper, chemist bought test then I don't think it would show positive unless you are pregnant. False positives are impossible. Sorry, but I'm sure you can get over the shock together.

I see what you mean about the pill factor. I would have thought that if it had dealt with an early pregnancy effectively then a pg test 10 days later would not show a positive.

I would ring your GP's surgery for advice or speak to a pharmacist.

I would also speak to your doctor - I would say it should show as positive unless you are because its the pregnancy hormones that show up on a test. Maybe they can do some bloods to check so your 100% sure before you tell your DH

I took the morning after pill on the 23rd of november. Im now nearly 16 weeks pregnant with twins. Have to say im now glad it didnt work but i was in denial and think i did over 30 (positive) tests and clutched at the 1 neg i got.

Thanks for that. My gut feeling is that I'm pg as I've had period type crapms for two days now which is just how it's been with previous pregnancies.

I've had an ectopic pg previously so think I'll phone the EPAU next wk and make an appointment (they'll see me straight away for bloods and book for early scan) as GP seems a bit clueless when it comes to early pg in my experience!

Thing is I know I'd be gutted now if it didn't come to anything but am horrified at the thought of having another baby

Also last weekend DH asked me semi-jokingly if I'd actually taken the pill so I am now worried if I am pregnant that a small part of him won't believe that I did take it.

There will probobly always be a glimmer of doubt in his mind as to whether you took the pill, unfortunatly that's just the way it is normally! Yes the test is about 99.9% accurate, our doctor didnt do any secondary testing as I assumed she would she simply sorted out the first midwife appointment and said congratulations.

If he's happy about you being pg then its doesn't really matter if he thinks you took the pill or not, in fact if he's happy about you being pg insisting that you took the pill might put a sour note on it and make him feel your being dishonest!

I knwo it's not easy, just try and put a positive spin on it to him and hope hes happy

Thank you. I'm sure he'll be ok once it has sunk in.

Aside from the fact we'll need a bigger house, car and I've got rid of all DS and DD's baby clothes, travel system and other associated bits.

My mum will go bonkers as well.

And I have said many times to all and sundry that we weren't having any more so hate the thought of having to go into detail about change of plan, especially when it is unlikely we'd have changed our minds given our financial situation. People expect too many details in my opinion.

polly I hope it works out in the way that's best for your family. Only you and your DH can say what that is. Just like it was both you AND your DH who had unprotected sex.... you didn't have it on your own... IYSWIM. Good luck.
