A few things happened in the lead-up to the pregnancy scare. A condom broke, and I skipped my period (I think due to being sick and stressed), which doesn't often happen to me. Got a pregnancy test, fucked it up as I didn't know how to use it and it came up void.
Why do bad things have to happen all at once. Fuck me was that a stressful week. Apparently, you have to do the test first thing in the morning on a certain day??
Anyways, I thought I was pregnant and booked a doctors appointment so I was abit unsure for a week or so if I was or wasnt pregnant. Good news is I wasn't, my doctor went through birth control options with me and sent me to the local sexual health clinic as they have group meetups for learning.

I have always been upfront with my boyfriend that I dont want kids and according to him neither does he. When I told him the news he was ecstatic and couldn't wait to start "our little family". I kept trying to remind him that I didn't want this but he was too caught up in it all.
I sort of left him to it after that and dealt with it myself. I was stressed out as it is, I didn't need to deal with a whole other person on top of it. He clearly knew that I didn't want to be pregnant, and if it actually came down to it I will terminate the pregnancy.
Two days later he came back to me telling me he has it all sorted out. A coat hanger you might ask? no. He sorted out living arrangements for us to move in together, back in his childhood room, with his parents on the opposite side of the country. His parents were positively thrilled and his mum has tried to call me multiple times. He had started buying furniture online for us and had them delivered and told me we were going to go over the next weekend to set it up and start moving.
This is all so sudden considering at this point I didnt actually know I was pregnant. On top of that, I have met his parents once. I live near my parents and I live in my own apartment (He is in a houseshare). If I was pregnant and wanting to keep it, he had just picked the weirdest and dumbest idea.
I haven't actually told him I'm not pregnant yet, I found out yesterday and I have all of this I want to talk about which I feel should happen in one go.
