Possibly pregnant 5 months before wedding?!

Okay soo me and my other half got caught up in the moment the other night and ended up having unprotected sex.

it’s been 2 days since then and I checked my Flo app this morning and the day we had sex was meant to be my ovulation day. And now I can’t stop overthinking

we’re getting married in 5 months, my parents bought me my wedding dress which was expensive, if I where to be pregnant would I fit in it?? I can’t help but think even though they’ll be happy having another grandchild (we have a 18 month old) they may also be annoyed if they spent all this money on a dress that doesn’t fit

I also have my hen weekend and I’ll be pregnant and not drinking. Which is fine, hangovers are hell anyway but I can’t help but feel will people be annoyed they paid this money to go away for the weekend and I’ll be sipping on water

we wanted to try for another baby after the wedding so i would be happy if I was to fall pregnant but I’m thinking so many people will be annoyed if I am? Would you be annoyed if you’d paid to go on a hen and the bride couldn’t drink? Or if you paid money for your daughters dress and it didn’t fit?
I may not even be pregnant but my brain has gone into overdrive

should I just have a cup of tea and say Hakuna Matata? What will be will be?

any advice, opinions, voices of reason will be welcome! Thank you

Try not to dwell on it for now as you do not know if you are pregnant. Worrying about it can delay a period, our hormones fluctuate when stressed.

Think about it if it happens. If it does, it isn't the end of the world, dress or not (which can probably be returned). You are in a committed relationship, planning to marry and have another child. Many women marry when pregnant. However you may not be, let's hope.

I agree just wait and see. There's a chance you could be but also a change you may not be- don't forget flo is an app and not 100%.

As for people being annoyed- I'm not so sure that will be the case, your friends will still be able to drink on your hen do and your dress can be altered.

You can take the morning after pill up to 72 hours after unprotected sex.
Although the earlier you take it the more effective it will be, it's worth taking it I'd say tho just to put your mind at ease a bit.
I used Flo and I got pregnant according to the ovulation period. But.. there was plenty of times when I didn't get pregnant successfully in the predicted ovulation period too.
I think it puts the ovulation time scale as 8 days or something, which is a long time, but that's just a prediction, you wont be very fertile for all of that window, some days your will be more fertile than others. So it really does depend on when you was at the peak of your fertility.

You could still take the morning after pill if it was 2 days ago, but try not to worry about what everyone else will think, think about what is right for you and your family.

If I was going on a hen do and my friend ended up being pregnant, it wouldn't cross my mind to be annoyed. If they do then they are hardly good friends.

Same with your family and the wedding dress... it's not ideal if it didn't fit but who's to say that it won't or couldn't be altered?

If you feel it isn't the right time for you then go and get the morning after pill today. Take care x

No good friend would be annoyed if you could not drink on your hen! Just do something less alcohol related. Return the dress if needs be. You wanted another baby. There is never a perfect time. So chill. Very likely you aren't pregnant.
