She told me to write about how I was feeling and to keep a journal and that she would get into it in our next session.

Yes. I have mentioned this to my therapist but I have a very busy schedule with work so I only meet with her every two weeks.

My boyfriend and I have known each other for over 5 years and have been dating for 5 months. I have anxiety thinking that everything will get me pregnant such as oral and manual or thinking that somehow there is sperm on surfaces like couches that I will sit on and get pregnant. So I barely let my b...

As you all know, I have been experiencing anxiety with pregnancy and I am seeing a psychologist for it. She helps but she isn't always here to listen. Due to my fears, my boyfriend and I don't do anything anymore but I have urges. So I masturbated and I feel so guilty and scared. I feel scared becau...

I started birth control pills last month and did not call my pharmacy for a refill on time so I asked the pharmacist if she could give me another brand similar to it and she did. Both of the pills are the same dosage and they are both generic versions of alesse. I was wondering if I will experience ...

Thank you

Hi! I started taking birth control pills this past month and it has been great, no side effects at all. However, I am taking a low dose pill and the instructions say I should take it at the exact same time everyday but I have taken it late 3 times this cycle, an hour difference. I didn't know if an ...

I went to the ER because I was having intense lower abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a 5.4cm cyst. It appeared on the ultrasound. Could a pregnancy be confused for a cyst? I feel like a bruise along with pain so I guess the cyst explains my symptoms. I am seeing a new psychologist this Wednesday.

Hello?

My lower abdomen feels weird, it hurts when I press on it and my lower back hurts too. I only poop once a day and very little so maybe gas? I am not about to get my period or anything, so not pms symptoms. I always feel tired too. What could this be? I haven't had vaginal sex.

I actually just made an appointment with a counselor at my college, thank you so much.

I would really appreciate you helping me find mental healthcare. As a psychology major, the last thing I wanted to do was see a psychologist myself, but as much as I dislike to admit it, I need the help. It has gotten to the point where I think that my irrational fears are rational and everyone else...

Heather, My gynecologist always seems to be in a hurry, every time I try speaking to her about it she would just say "Get on the pill hun, that is it." She literally saw me for 30 seconds and then left. I cannot speak to her about it and my mom has been so frustrated that she just tells me...

Hi, Today I went to the doctor because I have been bleeding for 14 days on my period, although I am just spotting lightly now. My doctor knows that I am obsessed with pregnancy scares and she said that irregular bleeding was common among 19 year olds. She did not test me for anything and just told m...

That makes sense. Thank you, I really appreciate it. I just have to relax and not think about everything so much. I just started tracking this month so you are right, there is no point in speaking about it. I will wait for my period to come.

I just thought I was ovulating since based on cervical discharge, I don't think I ever ovulated this month until now, thought that was because my period came late last month, I might be wrong. Since I did not do an activity that posed a risk, is my brown spotting just a sign that my period will begi...

Hi, Last month, I spotted for 7 days and then got my period which only lasted two days. This month, I was supposed to get it today and I am spotting(brown). However, I have been tracking my cervical mucus and have the clear stretchy mucus(can stretch few inches). I want to believe that I am about to...

I have another quick question about my period. I usually get my period the 29th on a 28day cycle, but last month I was stressing a lot and did start spotting the 29th but did not get my period until the 5th. Should I expect my period to go back to normal and come back the 29th this month? or the 5th...

I will. Thank you so much, Heather.

It is not that I can't be honest with her, I just feel like I have put her through enough stress by constantly telling her that I think I am pregnant even though all I did was have manual and oral sex. I was able to stop talking about it for 5 days or so and I made her take me to the doctor multiple...

Thank you for the fast reply. I have been going to the doctor frequently since I was having the pregnancy scare and my mom is overwhelmed by the subject so if I bring this up, I feel like she will think that I was still sexually active after the incident even though I have not and she would be more ...

Hello, I posted a few days ago asking about a pregnancy scare and was told that I have no risk and I believe it, it makes sense, although I cannot deny that I am still somewhat scared/worried. When I woke up today, I felt like I had to urinate and went to the restroom and did. Seconds after, I felt ...
