Extremely neurotic person going through pregnancy scare

I thought I'd give a little bit more information/context for my fear to maybe answer some questions in advance.

Condoms are the only contraception we're using right now, but I've going to fight against it after this scare. I've tried the pill before, but the hormones were too much for me to handle and I was left bedridden. I really want the IUD, but my gyno is refusing to give it to me as she doesn't want anything that'll stop me ovulating as I only have one ovary. Abortion is illegal where I live, so I'm not surprised that the healthcare system here is trying to keep me primed and ready for being a mother.

Bump. Perhaps the comment I made about being primed and ready for motherhood was a bit harsh as people are still given the pill here, I just hate that I know exactly which type of contraceptive I want and I'm told no.

Just take a pregnancy test

Depending on the test you take, it's not effective until between five days before your period is due and a couple of days after your period is due. This means around 2-3 weeks of me being on the verge of a panic attack and having graphic nightmares. I think I'd rather wait about three weeks to take a pregnancy test as a false positive would probably make me vomit my guts up and then some.

There are other contraceptive methods out there. You could get fitted for a diaphragm perhaps, and in the future always use the spermicide lube in addition to condoms.

I think you'll be OK since you took the pill quickly, but if the worst case scenario does come to pass you still have options. You can travel to another country to get the procedure, this is quite simple if you're in Europe and there are charities that help women reach these services. Also there's always the option of adoption. The idea of carrying a child to term may be unappealing, but there are many others who can't conceive and would immeasurably appreciate the help. And hey you never know, you might be one of those people who has difficulty as well.

Btw what country?

I've considered the diaphragm, but I've always thought of it as a 'Why bother?' situation in comparison to condoms. It's something I can discuss though if my gyno is still dead set against me getting the IUD. We tend to get extra safe condoms, but I think this is one occasion where they were all out so we settled for another type of Durex condom. I'll ask my boyfriend what type they were when he gets back from work so I can check if they include spermicide.

I live in Ireland. I can travel to England for an abortion, but we're six weeks away from the holiday of a lifetime and the timing to jet off to England when we're saving money from it would be extremely suspect - I think my mum would disown me if she found out. I've been having a very, very stressful time lately and thinking about the holiday was the only thing keeping me sane. Now the thought of being pregnant during it is driving me insane and I've been crying and shaking a bunch.

Meant to say 'saving money for it'.

You are being way too dramatic over this.
You just had sex yesterday, took the morning after pill and don't believe you're ovulating... You're fine.
But you don't want us to tell you that you're fine, you're having too much fun romanticising the idea that you may be pregnant and acting as though you're having a mental breakdown for attention.
Honestly... what the hell did you even want from /adv/? We can't physically calm you down, you've already mentioned breathing techniques and things to calm you down when you start freaking out. Dreams are out of your control and we sure as hell can't help you with them besides telling you to not take Melatonin which could make them worse.
Just realise YOU'RE the only person feeding your neurosis, I get anxiety constantly but don't turn to others to solve my problems or look for validation through being dramatic.
