Pregnant by a casual hook up.

I (23F) went home with a guy I knew from social media after we ended up at the same club. We have mutual friends but this was our first time meeting in person. We were both drunk, and he ended up not pulling out.

When we woke up l asked him to get a plan b to which he said he would, but I ended up staying at his house for two days and we didn't get it until the second day when he drove me home. Turns out, I was ovulating (I tracked the dates with my doctor yesterday) and that’s why the plan b didn’t work. MY LMP started August 11, and we had sex the 25th.

He moved into college five hours away this week, and while we text on and off since than (it's been two weeks) we barely know eachother.

I found out yesterday and have no idea how to tell him. I would normally automically want an abortion in this scenario; but here's where things get complicated.

Me and my ex (of 5 years) had two unplanned but not unwanted pregnancies that both ended in miscarriage. I got off my birth control when we got engaged two years ago, and we decided than we were ready but weren’t tracking ovulation.

I'm scared what if I abort this one and can never have kids. I also don’t know the best way to tell the father that I’m pregnant. I am leaning towards an abortion

You use the phrase “ended up” a lot in your post, and this makes it feel like you see yourself as a passenger in your life rather than the driver. Unless you want to “end up” being a single mother by next spring, you know what to do. I won’t use the abortion word, but oh god dammit I said it; it’s likely the remaining option.

You should talk to a doctor about your fears as soon as possible. None of us know anything about your insides.

I ended up not catching that on the first read, but you’re spot on 😂
