Crap. Am I...

Got a 10 month old baby, was on the pill but came off it as the side effects were horrendous. Barely been having sex as I'm exhausted weve probably had sex twice in the last 4 weeks which he hasnt finished inside but obvious theres a chance. Period is possibly 2 days late (quite irregular and after baby and pill not really sure) I KNOW tesco tests can be wrong but what do people think of this test? Shit. Shit. Shit.

Crap. Am I...

Looks like a faint positive to me x

Ohpleaseno · 18/03/2020 08:43

Thanks for opinion, Shit that's what I thought. Hope it isn't. Will try get a better test today. Shit I dont want to tell my husband and what the hell are my options with this corona nonsense. But I've had 2 losses before and dont know if I could ever terminate but we wouldn't manage at all. Trying not to panic yet will try retest and see. No no no 😔

Did the line come up straight away? I've heard that blue die tests can be bad for evaps. Try a FRER they are usually pretty clear and detect really early.

Corona virus causing all sorts of problems but at least you have found out early so you have some time to think about things (if it is definitely positive) x

Ohpleaseno · 18/03/2020 11:12

Yeah.. I could see something straight away but I've had evaps on these tests before and seen similar posts they are rubbish but all that was available this morning. Will defo get another today. Have no idea what to do if its positive.

Op you sound devastated at the thought of being pregnant but in the nicest possible way why werent you using condoms or other Contraception? You must have known this could happen. It does look like a positive test to me.

Ohpleaseno · 18/03/2020 12:05

I've posted in pregnancy choices and not asked for that opinion I'm well aware of how this has happened.

How are you doing OP? Did you take another test?

Needingsupportplease · 26/03/2020 02:50

Thankyou for asking yes I'm pregnant. Got an appointment tuesday x

ILikeyourHairyHands · 26/03/2020 03:06

It's absolutely fine to be pregnant and not want to be if that's what you want.

You don't have to be distraught about it if you're not.

Abortion is an absolutely fine choice if that's the one you want.

No need to feel bad about it at all. And it's often a very positive choice, if made feely.

Monstermummymum · 26/03/2020 13:30

I'm sorry for you. Been in a very similar situation and it is never easy. I hope the appointment goes okay for you. The staff will be very supportive and lovely.

Needingsupportplease · 26/03/2020 13:54

Thankyou it really is my worst fear especially after my previous losses. One of which was extremely traumatic. But I know it's the right decision for me and my family and my mental health (had a very bad ending to pregnancy with reduced movements, induction, baby born with sepsis and an 11 day hospital stay) defo think I need support before another one. Just praying the appointment goes ahead x

inacheeseandpicklesandwhich · 30/03/2020 11:23

Hi how are you coping ? I think I am pregnant too and shitting myself xxx

Needingsupportplease · 30/03/2020 11:26

So sorry your in this position it's awful and heart wrenching when you're unsure or dont want to be. My appointment is tomorrow morning I'm having abit of a wobble to be honest xx

Finallyamummy · 30/03/2020 13:08

Sorry there's a few of us in the boat. I just got a positive test yesterday. My first child took 4 years to conceive, we never thought it would happen. 2nd child took 7 months and now this one was one time and we weren't trying, it was completely unplanned. I don't know what to do. It's such a mess.

Needingsupportplease · 30/03/2020 13:12

@Finallyamummy I think that makes it much worse when you've been through previous struggles too I'm op btw not sure when or why I name changed 🤦🏼‍♀️

inacheeseandpicklesandwhich · 30/03/2020 16:35

That's all I'm thinking of every second of the day is what to do . I have posted on here in relationships if you want to see what's going on with me I can't remember what I put it under now tho lol xxx

Finallyamummy · 30/03/2020 16:59

@Needingsupportplease it feels so wrong when my other pregnancies were so wanted. We were so happy each time but financially 3 would be a huge strain, dh and I have just been furloughed at work and both our children were born with birth defects , which although have both been fixed through surgery and both my children are fit and well, was very traumatic at the time. I know what I should do but I'm finding it a struggle to accept. I hope you're ok.

Needingsupportplease · 30/03/2020 17:17

Yeah I'm the same @Finallyamummy we had 2 losses at 7 and 14 weeks my pregnancy, labour and after birth were very traumatic and my daughter was very poorly when born which I just cant go through again yet I need some sort of therapy. I'd love another baby but everything about our lives atm it's just not ideal one bit. Baby is poorly again. No income atm I'm still on maternity and corona situation, feel guilty on baby, my mental health. I'm worried about my mental health either way to be honest but I'm 80% sure I'm doing the right thing. my appointment is tomorrow morning I just want it over as if the baby grows any more I dont think I could go through with it :( I'm 6+1 today. Glad your children are ok, Hugs to you it's awful xx

Needingsupportplease · 31/03/2020 07:34

Today's the day. Leaving in just over an hour I feel so sick :(

Finallyamummy · 31/03/2020 10:50

@Needingsupportplease thinking of you today and sending a virtual hand hold x

sunandrose · 31/03/2020 12:05

Reading this as I’m in a very similar situation. It’s devastating.
Thinking of you, how did today go? X

Needingsupportplease · 31/03/2020 13:06

Not well really. I know I'm atleast 6+2 was sent to epu at hospital as I only have a sac measuring 5 weeks. They cant do anything whilst they cant see a fetal pole or any sign of a baby so I have to wait 2 weeks and get rescanned at epu. Then hopefully it will show no growth, no baby and it can be sorted or itll show an 8 week old fetus which I then wont have the heart to terminate. So I'm really stuck :(

Needingsupportplease · 31/03/2020 13:06

So sorry you're in a similar situation, vent your feelings here xx

Finallyamummy · 31/03/2020 13:40

Oh @Needingsupportplease how cruel. I'm so sorry this is all being so drawn out. I called BPAS yesterday but after being on hold for nearly half an hour waiting to speak to someone I hung up. Since then I've been in turmoil. I peeped at the December birth group, why on Earth I have no idea. Can't bring myself to call BPAS so I'm just eating my way through the buns the kids made yesterday. Hope you're ok.

Needingsupportplease · 31/03/2020 13:52

Just feel like if the baby has grown and has a heartbeat in 2 weeks that's the decision made for me :( just feel in complete turmoil atm. They did say I could start miscarrying naturally too... not sure what to think
