Hi guys. I’m 22 weeks pregnant, I had sex on the 16th of September with my ex boyfriend stupid mistake. He finished inside me but at this point I had the iud hormonal coil. Later that day I had it removed as it was causing my problems. The nurse didn’t tell me that sperm could stay inside for 7 days… anyway me and my current partner have been having unprotected sex all throughout September and October pretty much every day… on the 16th of October I bleed really heavily for 5 days I don’t know if this was a period or not because I did get my coil took out a month before.. I found out on the 12th of November I was pregnant , I used the clear blue test and it said I was 2+3 weeks which means 4-5 weeks pregnant. I went for an early scan a few days later but she couldn’t see a yolk sac. I went on the 7th of December for another scan and measured 8 weeks pregnant. Please can someone help me as I’m so scared my ex made me pregnant.

Thank you for your response. I have been so worried. They gave me a due date of the 12th of July. I’m such an over thinker. I will try the calculator thank you .

Check the due date they gave you, (and in fact check all the details and dates you listed above, the earlier ultrasound, your period, when the ultrasound was and all) because July 12 doesn't go with the same people saying "8 weeks pregnant" on December 7. But July 12 does rule out the sex in September.

- When you were on an IUD with a hormonal aspect, it's not like pulling a cork, as in after pulling it you have zero protection. The hormones will have lasted a little while. You would not have ovulated immediately upon its removal. (But that doesn't matter anyway because ...)
- The five-day bleed in October sounds like it can only have been a period. Taking out a coil doesn't make you bleed a month later. If anything, it might have made your uterine lining a little thicker (because of the hormones), which would explain why your next period was a bit heavier, since it was clearing out the lining. (But that doesn't matter because ...)
- A medical person saying 8 weeks "pregnant" means your medical time frame for the pregnancy began 8 weeks ago, not that conception was 8 weeks ago. Medical people begin the count of pregnancy on day 1 of your previous period, or a calculated day 1 if the ultrasound indicates it. 8 weeks pregnant does not mean conception was 8 weeks prior to the ultrasound, it means your conception was 6 weeks prior to the ultrasound.
- You're lots better off doing your calculating and worrying using the estimated due date (EDD) from your ultrasound, not getting wrapped around the wheel of what "8 weeks pregnant" means. Did they give you an estimated due date of around August 2? Whatever date they did give you, you can put it into a conception calculator online, and it will tell you an estimated conception date. Or, just count manually on a calendar backward from the due date, 266 days. That will give you an estimated conception date too.
