Worried about regret

I just found out I am pregnant. This was unplanned and my period was over a week late so still early on.

Only been with new partner 3 months. Strange thing is, I tried with my ex husband for about 5 years and nothing, then got diagnosed with PCOS.

I don't feel ready for a child at the moment, relationship is new and I am super focused on my career at the moment. But I'm worried if I terminate, what if I struggle falling pregnant again when I do want a baby.

I don't know what to do....

I can see your dilemma here, wheo. It sounds like you very much want to be a mum. Are you doing well enough financially to afford child care so you can be a mum and have your career at the same time? Even if the guy you are with turns out to not be a keeper, you can still love this baby and co-parent with him (if he wants to be a part of the child's life, some don't as you already know). Even though the timing is not idea, this sounds like a very much wanted baby, so please give yourself time to think this through before making a decision that cannot be changed. Hoping this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
