Hi all well the subject title says it all. 

Me and my partner are in our mid 20's
Recently we had unprotected sex he didn't c** inside me but I later found out it was my most fertile day, so I might be pregnant if he did pre-c**. On top of all this I have to add that I have polysistic ovarian syndrome and was told only time I could have a slight chance of pregnancy was before I'm 27 and that's a 30% chance of conceiving naturally and after 27 I would have to use IVF but chances of me getting pregnant are slim and next to nothing.  So there might be a possibility that a miracle has happened and I may be pregnant, at first my partner was pretty la di da about it he was like well we'll just have to wait and see if you're late which is a shock because most guys would be freaking out asking for pregnancy test right away etc. So my initial thought was yes I don't have to go through screams and abuse about having an abortion we can have a baby together. A few days passed and well my partner has been confusing me, one min he would say we'll have a third addition the next he is like when will you know if you're having the baby then out of nowhere goes id rather you abort but it's your choice :-/ its not like he is screaming or demanding he is way to calm about it, he thinks while I'm still young I can abort I'm in my mid 20's that's not young, young is 16,17,18. Well anyway he believes if it was two three years from now I could keep the baby. He said either way he wants to know if I'm pregnant or not and he hopes I'm not. I've had a great deal of stress lately and this has added to it. I know we both aren't 100% ready financially for a baby I'm studying a double degree and have two years to go and he works hard, but I'm scared if I am pregnant and keep the baby as I am not considering an abortion one little bit he will leave or be like I'll support the baby but not you, silly things like this pop into my mind. We haven't really had a chance to sit down and talk about it like two grown adults and I know he is very stressed with other things around him so the last thing I want to do is sit him down talk about this when he is under the pump as I know the consequence won't be good and it'll probably end up in a fight which is something I don't want. I guess after this long article, I just want some advice and to know if anyone else has been through it?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

It is your body. If you decide to keep the baby, if you are indeed pregnant, then you may have to raise the child alone. He may change his mind, though. When you both had unprotected sex, you both consented to possibly get pregnant. And, with your health condition, his may be the only baby you can have. You may not have a decision to make, but if you do, you will live with that decision for the rest of your life--whatever you choose to do.

Don't matter what he wants, he is only thinking about his self, and how this will change his life and most likely possible child support if you split up. He does not sound very loving and caring.

But of course you can get pregnant, everything is just low chance, none is no chance, so it all hits right and happens sometimes

I am in agreement with both of the previous posts. This might be your only chance to have a baby and it does not matter what he wants. If you are indeed pregnant and you throw away this possibly "only" chance to have a baby, you will regret it for the rest of your life. You have some challenges ahead of you, but you sound like a mature woman who can take care of herself and a child. I know you are concerned about money, but you are in a better position to care for a child than many people who have had babies. I think your boyfriend was "la di da" because he just assumed you were not pregnant. Now that uncertainty is kicking in, he is beginning to show his true colors. The best thing you can do is get a test to confirm whether you are pregnant or not, then you will know how to proceed, and he will too.
