    Thanks for your replies, I am going to try and see my dr tonight but until then I am not going to say anything to OH. My main concern is that he will be angry. We have only been together 6 months and he already has 2 kids from a previous relationship (4 and 6) and he will be so upset cos we have been so careful up til now and he told me before that he is not ready for more children.

    He may be shocked and surprised. If I were you, I would be prepared to accept that his immediate reaction may be different from what he does and says once he's had time to think about it all for a longer time. It probably won't happen, but I'd be prepared to forgive his immediate and early on reaction if it is negative, but he gets more used to the idea a bit later.

    Hi, congrats btw.

    (the pill is over 99% accurate at preventing pregnancy if taken correctly-a lot of people who get pregnant on the pill have usually missed a pill/been sick/tummy upset etc....)
