i can't shake the fear

Unread post by itsxafx »

so, this week is 40 weeks since i was last at any level of risk.
- the risk was me and my boyfriend humping (both naked, direct contact no condom, possible precum but he had been to pee before. the contact was kept to around my clit.)
- i am on the injection, and have been since early january.
- no symptoms at all. nothing.
- i tested 21 days after in the evening with two tests, negative. i tested again two days later in the morning, negative.
- about a month ago i had a UTI and asked for a pregnancy test to be done with the sample, negative.
- stomach soft, nipples still pale and no pain/discharge, walking normally etc. discharge is freaking me out, but it's not a huge amount. it's very thin and watery.
- this paranoia has only come back in the past month or so. i cannot shake it because of people going on about precum and cryptic pregnancies. i am fully convinced it'll happen to me and i can't do anything about it now.
realistically, what are the chances i'd be pregnant?

Hi Itsxafx! Welcome to our boards!

Based on what you've described here, there is no chance that you are pregnant. The sexual activity you describe has a low risk of pregnancy, which drops to essentially zero with your birth control. Regardless of whether there was even a tiny risk or not there, you can absolutely trust the pregnancy tests that you've taken to be accurate.

So let's talk about the paranoia that you're feeling now. We have a great article called You're Not Pregnant. Why Do You Think You Are? which covers pregnancy anxiety and some reasons why you might be especially worried about it. How about you read this article and let me know if any of the reasons listed sound like they might apply to you? Then we can talk through it together. How does that sound?
