Would I Be Looked at Differently???

**Agony_Aunt** · 05-10-2011 07:15 PM

Went to my doctor today to get my implant out of my arm, as the 3 year term is up in a week's time.

He asked how my periods were while on in, and I told him I had very few and the last one I had was for 2 days and very light a week before my birthday.

I asked about going on the pill once the implant was out until my periods became regular again, he said he didn't see why I couldn't do that.
So as usual, he done a pregnancy test before precribing the pill to me.

I'm pregnant.
My heart's been racing all day and my hands haven't stopped shaking, because I'm so shocked.
Don't know what to do and haven't told anyone. I just cannot believe this.

Oh and it's not my ex's (the older guy).

I stupidly had a one night stand the night of my birthday at a party.

Wow girl...what a shock!! Are you okay? I can only imagine you ARE distraught right now. It's gonna take some time to digest for sure. I guess you got quite a birthday present huh?

Awww - AA! Are you okay? The one night stand... Did/do you know him at all?

Do you have any idea what you are going to do?

Gosh AA... idk what to say except I wish all the best for you, in whatever you decide to do.

Shocker! Hugs! The implant should have worked. Have you had a second test done to confirm? You should be almost three months along if it is so.

**Agony_Aunt** · 05-10-2011 08:18 PM

I don't know if I am okay, it's such a big shock and I don't know how to tell my parents, especially because it's the result of a one night stand, and yep, I know the guy a few years now. And he's seeing another girl now.

I'm not exactly happy about it, since I was 19 in Feb, and now I'm pregnant. Just keep asking myself how did this all happen?
Yesterday, it seemed my life was slowly getting back to normal and now it feels like I've just got hit in the face by a bus.

I asked my doctor why the implant didn't work, actually I shouted at him because I was quite a bit hysterical. But he just said, "well you know no contraceptive is 100%, and I was in the last few months of using the implant so it was just becoming less effective".
He just turned around to me and said "I won't be giving you the pill, you're pregnant".
I still feel the same shock now, that I did earlier when he said it. I'm repeating in my head "I'm pregnant", and it just doesn't sink in.

Yep I took a pregnancy test when I got home, and postive again. My doc said I'm about 11 weeks.

Uggggghhhh.... Why now? Why did this happen?

I agree with the above suggestion to get a second test done, JUST to be SURE.

Agony Aunt I can feel the shock even through the internet. Breathe.

In the end everything will be okay, this is not the end of the world.

In my opinion these are the first questions to consider:

1) Do you want to carry this full-term.
2) If so, do you want to keep it or adopt it out.
3) Would you consider an abortion.

Those are the basics. What do YOU want to do.

We're here for you to talk you through it all!

Sorry I posted at the same time as you and my connection is too GRR for the "edit" button. Disregard my "take another test" suggestion, I see you already have.

You wouldn't believe how hard it is now to just relax and breathe!

In Ireland abortion is illegal, but I just couldn't do that anyway, so that leaves me with no choice other than carry full term.

I'm in panic mode because now, my family has to be told, P (the guy) he has to be told, my friends and isn't it just typical on Sunday, my uncles fiance asked me to be bridesmaid at their wedding next year because she only has 1 sister, and I agreed. They are going to have to know why I'm going to have to pull out now.
And I don't have a clue how to tell anyone. I feel my family will be ashamed because I had a one night stand, they will see it as "She just had sex with somebody one night, and now she's pregnant".

They guy is seeing a new girl now, so am I going to a single mother? I wish this didn't happen.
