Hi just looking for some advice. I had a medical termantion 7 weeks ago. Everything went well I bleed for a week and half and than did the pregnancy test provided by Bpas and it was negative. Than my period didn’t arrive by week 5 so I got some home bargains cheap test strips and they started coming up faint positive but now the lines are getting darker. I’ve got no other pregnancy symptoms apart from running to the bathroom a lot to pass urine. I had really bad pain in middle of my stomach went hospital today and they did blood tests and urine tests they said everything is normal no hcg showing on blood tests. Now am booked for a scan on Monday but am worried sick and just looking for reassurance as what it can be as am so scared and also suffer from anxiety.

I didn’t know that u can ovulate so quickly after and get pregnant so quick aswell. I had an appointment booked for the coil did have unprotected sex in between a few times was getting ready to go for my coil appointment did a test just to make sure and it was positive very faint but now the lines are progressing getting darker. Am so tired it’s all my fault wish they told me that am going to be super fertile after termantion I wouldn’t have let my man anywhere near me till I had contraception sorted. Am scared am going to have to do it all again the termantion and am going to get judged by the nurses

It states on BPAS website and the booklet that you are likely to get pregnant after a termination. It makes sense as your cycle will be all over the place. They have a really great advice line and one that's available 24/7.

@Sunshine776094 sorry you're in this situation. Do take some time out and reassess what you want. Maybe it's meant to be and a blessing in disguise? Maybe it's still not what you want. That's ok....BUT,do not shoulder all the responsibility yourself, especially around contraception. Make sure partner ALSO assesses what HE is doing to prevent pregnancy! It takes 2 and it should never all fall on the woman! Take care

Like @BeRedBiscuit said, please take your time and examine your feelings and situation, as well as how you responded to the first abortion. Could you have been avoiding contraception because part of you wants to be a mum? There's no harm in taking some time to figure out if your mind is changing. But I agree, birth control should be the concern of all parties involved. Hoping you will be okay, whatever happens.
