    Unfortunately I don't think you have a Plan B at this late stage. I think you can only take the morning after pill up to 3 days after the incident. And if you DTD the day after you ovulated (is that right?) than you have high chances of falling pg. Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear.
    Hopefully everything turns out ok though.

    You have 72 hours after DTD to take the morning after pill.

    If you really don't want to risk another pregnancy so soon, get thee to a pharmacis quick!!

    Lexie was concieved as an oopsie whilst I was fully BF'ing and on the mini pill, and it does happen......Charlie was only 4 months old, oooops.

    I don't think you can take the morning after pill if you're breastfeeding though! Make sure you tell the pharmacist.

    You can take it while breastfeeding but if you take a combination pill containing estrogen and progestin it may briefly reduce your milk flow. If you take a progestin-only pill it shouldn't affect milk at all. I'll be having a good old chat to the pharmacist though, just to make sure!

    Thankyou preagainpan!!!!
    If this does result in another tiny family member then it's meant to be, BUT it would be nice to let our new bub be the baby of the family for more than 12 months!
