Advice needed on unexpected pregnancy

It was a shock to find out I'm pregnant last week. We always use contraceptive. I have a call with Bpas next week but it is driving me insane not knowing how far gone I am. My periods are normally evert 4 to 5 weeks. I had a period on the 12th April, I then didn't have a bleed until 7 and half weeks later on June 3rd. In between that time I had the Pfizer jab. I read it could mess with cycles so assumed it was that. But now am questioning whether the bleed on the 3rd June was a proper period or a pregnancy bleed.
I already have a 5 year old. I don't want another child. I'm older and had a tough first birth. I am happy as we are.
I'm incredibly bloated which I get anyway, but this is more so, clothes are tight. I look pregnant. I feel sick all the time, same as my first. If that June 3rd wasn't a period then I am over 15 weeks which is scaring the life out of me being that far gone. If it was but a very delayed cycle then I am 7 to 8 weeks. I definitely feel pregnant, which would I if it was 8 week? I only have a telephone appointment next Thursday. This waiting, feeling rubbish, time passing is eating me up. Any advice?

When you have your telephone consultation- as soon as you tell her you are not 100% sure of last period date - you will be coming in for a scan
Your consultation is an assessment of your physical and emotional needs
Anything identified that needs an in clinic visit will be arranged by them at consultation

Hope that helps

But my worry is the time as well in between all these consultations. 2 weeks from finding out to getting a phone call, then having to have an in person consultation, then maybe the actual termination. All the while I'm getting more and more pregnant. And that is what I'm getting so stressed about.

Can you send me a PM

Sorry to hear this, it sounds really difficult. Would you consider paying for a private dating scan? I think they’re about £50 and you can often get them pretty short notice. You would then at least know what you’re dealing with. Best of luck.
