Thank you so much for replying! That article you linked in your message was extremely extremely helpful, I didn't realize that looking for all this reassurance is just making things worse. Also thank you so much for showing me that contacting those past partners would have just worsened my spiral be...

Hi! First of all, I want to apologize just because I feel like most of topics I post about are anxiety related and I am in the process of getting help for it, but in this specific scenario I am also looking for information about how people handle the possibility of STIs. I just got nervous today abo...

Thank you so much for the reply and the advice! My gynecologist basically told me that the side effect I most likely will experience is irregular periods and if I'm ok with that then nexplanon will probably work for me. However, I will make sure to bring up the other side effects I learned about at ...

Hi! So I talked to my gynecologist and I now have an appointment schedule in around two weeks to get my nexplanon implant. I am really excited about this however, I'm also nervous about the possible side effects specifically the mood swings and the weight gain. Mental health and weight have always b...

Yeah, I downloaded the anxiety managing app that I found on the page and it's been helping a lot! Thank you!

I will definitely look into it, I've just been trying to distract myself by cooking and going out with friends which helps a lot.

I'm still unsure of whether I should trust this test just because some people have said that a pregnancy test is only accurate one week after a missed period, but I'm not sure whether that applies in this situation as its been more than three weeks since I had sex so I am debating whether or not to ...

I used a First Response pregnancy test which I've heard is the most sensitive. I took the test this morning and it turned out negative but I'll take another one next week if my period still hasn't shown up. I'm hoping this test was accurate as it has been a little over three weeks since the incident...

Hi! So my period is a day late and I know that's not usually a cause for concern especially when I have been 3-4 days late in the past. However, I recently became sexually active and I'm a bit paranoid over pregnancy. I didn't really have a risk, or one that I know of, but condoms are the only form ...

I was actually curious as to what the process is like in terms of the procedure for it. Like how quick is it, is it painful and do I need to do anything for it after it's been put in?

I do want it sooner and it is covered by my insurance 100% my only issue is getting to the appointment because my parents are fairly conservative about stuff like that so I would have to go by myself behind their back. I am 18 and I've already made sure that they don't access to my medical informati...

Thank you so much for replying! The reason why I even used the word predicted was because I know tracking from an app is not a really accurate way of knowing when you're actually ovulating but I thought the coincidence was weird so I was concerned. I only recently became sexually active and only sin...

Thank you so much for your replies! I am looking into getting help for my anxiety but unfortunately one of my coping mechanisms at the moment is trying to find an explanation for whatever "bad" feeling I have and in this case it kind of back-fired because it led me to finding a bunch of sc...

Hi last week I noticed some brown spotting in my underwear and when I wiped there was a brownish tint to my discharge along with a trace of what could possibly be blood. It happened a week after my period ended, around the time of when I am supposedly predicted to ovulate. I am a little nervous beca...

I have never had sex without a condom and I have had a period since my last "scare", however, I keep coming across stories where women keep getting what they thought was their period and still ended up being pregnant. I have even read stories where they got their period and had multiple ne...
