Hi,

Yesterday, I engaged in some activities which your website says do not pose any pregnancy risks. I know this from browsing extensively through your website. I think I suffer from some form of anxiety/paranoia/phobia and I have recurrent episodes of OCD, but I am getting psychological help for that.

Basically, I gave a guy a handjob and we both had some pre-cum on our fingers. He was touching me places, but I had my panties on the whole time (occasionally, he would slip his hand underneath my panties). I also felt some pre-cum on my lower stomach. I was sitting on top of him, while his underwear was a bit wet. Also, I believe I am ovulating at the moment. That was basically it. He didn't ejaculate semen. However (and I had expected this), I can't seem to calm my mind.

I was thinking of buying the morning-after pill, although I know it would be useless to do so (right? :s). I've read that it causes some side-effects such as nausea and headaches, but I am mostly worried about its effects on my period (delaying it or making it come earlier). Me being me, any alteration in my period freaks me out even more. So, I finally decided not to buy it.

I don't know what my question is, to be honest. I am not sure what to do (do I need to get the EC pill, just for some peace of mind maybe?). Your thoughts, please?

Hi girl123

We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family
