1st trimester
Lost the story
Hi ladies,
I need to get this off my chest.
My (ex) boyfriend and I had been trying for a while to conceive our second child. It just wasn't happening, no matter what we did. Meanwhile, all sorts of things were happening in our relationship and it came under quite a bit of pressure. My trust was shattered and I just couldn't get over it.
When I decided I had to end it because I was becoming increasingly unhappy, but I still didn't have the courage, I suddenly fell terribly in love with someone else. That was the final straw for me and I broke up with him.
SO double-edged. Sadness and rotten feelings, plus so much adrenaline from being in love all at once.
I decided I wouldn't jump into a new relationship, especially not now when everything needs to be sorted out; house, child, belongings...
But temptation got the better of me and we ended up making plans anyway. It was so passionate and fantastic, even though I thought my libido had disappeared. Well, it hadn't.
Anyway. I wasn't expecting ovulation anytime soon since I had just had my period and I never got pregnant easily. The circumstances were such that neither of us really thought about using condoms for a single second.
The next morning I started worrying and decided to take an ovulation test; boom, strong positive. I was terrified, especially because I don't even ovulate every month! And now way too early..
I went straight to the pharmacy to buy an emergency contraceptive pill.
Just to be safe, I took a few more ovulation tests over the next few days and they stayed strong positive, so my ovulation was delayed by three days. Perfect, I thought...
Until suddenly I started feeling some familiar things. One day I had stabbing pains in my left groin that radiated down into my foot. The next day I smelled shower gel and it made me feel sick, and food tastes completely bland to me now.
On 9 dpo I took a test and I thought I saw something very faint in the distance. But nothing significant. Still, I worried.
Now on 11 dpo there is definitely a (light) line on my new pregnancy test! So I'm pregnant! I feel incredibly confused and have no idea what to do now.
It feels so double-edged to suddenly be pregnant after trying for so long, but under these circumstances which are anything but favorable.
If I keep the baby, is it bad that I took an emergency contraceptive pill? Should I call my GP now?
I hope there are people who want to talk to me, maybe those who have been through the same thing? Or just some advice?
Love, Ellen.
