Potential pregnancy

Hi I have name changed for this. I have got myself in what can only be described as a pickle. I have four children and currently live with their father. However we are not 'together' any more. We bring up the children together for financial reasons and the fact we get along very well and some of them are still very small.

My situation is that after nearly 2 years of no sex I was climbing the walls (no excuse) and did something silly. I had sex with this random guy I met on a night out. I was incredibly stupid and did not use any protection so took the morning after pill the next day.

Today I checked the information about the pill and can see now that it is only effective at preventing ovulation and not actually implantation. I immediately put my last period into an ovulation calculator an bingo, I ovulated the day before we had sex and was most fertile on that day. We had sex three times!

I feel very ashamed of my actions and I have booked myself in for all the std tests. I know I have to do a pregnancy test to find this answer but its likely to be positive isnt it? He was only in his late 20s

It’s possible, but remember there’s ‘only’ a 25% chance of getting pregnant on any given month (less if you’re older) so there’s still a good chance you aren’t. How recent was this encounter? I know you can get an emergency coil fitted in situations where the MAP wouldn’t be effective because you’ve already ovulated, but there’s quite a short time limit to get this done.

@scaredandanxious01 thanks for responding. I think I might try and get one Monday. I was at the most optimal time of the month and I already have 4 children so I know I am fertile. God knows if he is but we had sex Monday so if I could sort the coil Monday it would be a week since 🤷🤔

I just wanted to say please don’t give yourself a hard time - whatever the outcome. We’re all only human! I hope it works out for you

@Heretochill Thank you, I appreciate hearing that. I have been giving myself a very hard time over this!
