Hello Ashleah!
Thank you for the resources! I will start reading them soon.
Question though, does having persistent scares can also be due to being scared of becoming pregnant? Like feeling queasy about knowing that there's another human being inside of you growing? Thanks!
Scarleteen is closed for the next two days, so that's Thursday, October 31st (for Halloween) and Friday, November 1st (for Diwali). We'll be back and able to answer your questions on Saturday. Catch you soon!

I think I can relate more with the second. And now, it's just so hard to move on. Days feel longer for me

Re: Relationship troubles after pregnancy scare
Hi! I can't just acknowledge why it happened. You were right about sometimes things happen and we can't change them. It's just that it's hard to move on from that due to reasons such as: 1. I live in a community of religious people and after what had happened, I isolated myself from the people I was...

Re: Relationship troubles after pregnancy scare
Hi! I'll try and update you about what happens between the two of us. I want to see where it goes after certain concerns from his side are somehow settled. I somehow understand that one can have a hard time in comforting the other when you yourself are struggling too. It happened a few months back a...

Re: Relationship troubles after pregnancy scare
I told him how I'm feeling and it's really complicated right now because all of us are busy. And therefore it seems that I can't be attended to properly. He already said he was sorry if he can't comfort me at times because he has a lottt of problems to handle. For the consent, I guess you're right. ...

Re: Relationship troubles after pregnancy scare
He's okay with it. He feels the same way that it's not really the time for us in doing such things. All I wanted was understanding with my condition. It seems that he isn't really giving me that. For the professional help, we have a guidance counselor in our university. But I had a bad experience wi...

Re: Relationship troubles after pregnancy scare
We did. We said to restrict ourselves with any sexual activity while I'm still recovering. I believe that there are other ways to show love. Do you have any recommendations on how to recover from the scare? Self-care doesn't really help me it just makes me think that I'm too selfish to devote on mys...

Re: Share Your Pregnancy Scare Experiences & Advice
I had a pregnancy scare this year and being a person who's prone to anxiety, the activity that didn't have any realistic risk bothered me. When my period arrived, I was relieved. But my anxiety didn't stop that I had to go to an OB to confirm I'm not pregnant. After months of getting through this st...

Period Stopped at Day 3
Hi, Scarleteen! My periods are usually 5-7 long but this cycle I only got 3 days which worried me. Although my first 2 days were very heavy (that bleeding normally happens to me in 3 days) and then on my third day, it was medium to light. I had no sexual activity ever since January. I'm currently st...

Re: The Fault In Our Stars
I read the book and watched the film. And guess what's better? Of course it's the book! I cried while reading the book especially when Hazel was complaining why she can't feel the love from her parents. But her parents told her they sacrificed a lot for her. And I also cried during the eulogy set up...

Curious about a video
I saw a video of a 20 year old lady who got pregnant by - according to what she said in non verbatim -: "him touching his [penis] and then touching [my vagina/vulva]". According to that video she's 30+ weeks pregnant (up until the date it was uploaded) I was shocked because usually for pre...

Re: Got Questions About Charting Your Period?
Hi! I have a few questions regarding charting! 1. Is it okay to use a regular digital thermometer? It is usually recommended to use the basal temp thermometers 2. Is it okay if there's a 30-minute difference in taking the temperature? For example, yesterday I got it at 6 am and the next day I got it...

Re: Relationship troubles after pregnancy scare
Hi Stephanie: We did and we both agreed that we didn't really plan the act well; it happened because of the heat of the moment. He said he's moved on from the issue but I think I'm stuck with it. He's kind of disappointed I still am thinking about it because I'm still recovering from the scare. I'm ...

Relationship troubles after pregnancy scare
Hi, I just want to ask for some advice. I had a pregnancy scare recently that it led me to confirm a health professional through ultrasound that I'm not pregnant even though I had 3 periods and 3 negative pregnancy tests. It went fine and I was so relieved that I was not having a baby soon. But ever...

Question on Abstinence
Being aware of the choices that we have in terms of sexual activity, I have decided to have abstinence with the person I'm with. We did have a history of sexual encounters and therefore the reason why I want to have this boundary is because of respect (even though I had a pregnancy scare before but ...

Sorry for double posting! But I just want to clarify and give more details in hoping that I could get the best answer. For the sexual contact that happened in January, there was no genital-to-genital contact only manual and oral sex happened. It was the only sexual contact/activity from another pers...

Re: Spotting before period?
Thank you, Heather! :) Got my period the day after (early in the morning) so I counted the spotting as day one. For the STI testing, we don't have previous sexual contact with other people therefore we are our first's. What are the possible diseases that I could be getting if this is the case? All I...

Hello! Is it normal to spot before period comes? My day 1 will approximately happen tomorrow (February 21) and I experienced (light brown) spotting today.

Period vs Decidual Bleeding
Hello! I would like to know what's the difference between the two since they are almost similar. I had my period on the 24th of January and lasted for seven days. It was brown with clots. Although, I had manual and oral sex on the 19th of January. I took a PT on the 21st and it came out negative. I'...
