Pregnancy Scare
Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2026 5:34 am
Hello!
I have been in a bit of a spiral. I have only been having sex with my my partner for 6 months, and I keep convincing myself that I am pregnant and ruining the beautiful experience that is sex.
For context, I had two very bad relationships in which I engaged in acts that were not consensual on my end. My current partner is amazing, communicate, and so so supportive to the point where he is the only person i’ve really ever been able to have sex with. That being said, the sex itself is not without a shadow of trauma that also comes up occasionally.
I monitor all of my symptoms so closely for what could be considered pregnancy. I have had multiple periods. I have taken breaks from sex because I get so wrapped up in the potential of pregnancy. I am on a combination BC pill, taken with near perfection, have my partner use condoms, AND he pulls out. There’s theoretically no chance. Regardless, I am terrified that there is something that I am missing.
