really really scared of pregnancy but idk where else to ask this

Unread post by marriiaaaa86 »

Ok ladies this is a long one sooo i'm 17 and i had sex for the first time on July 27th at 1:30 am, we didn't use any form of contraceptive (except for withdrawal, i know very very stupid of me), well he pulled out and one minute later he ejaculated on my stomach. Anyways i woke up the next day, hurting down there and i got worried and started searching stuff up and then i found out precum can get you pregnant and also according to my Flo app, it was my highest peak to get pregnant (my period was july 13th-18th)so i freaked and asked my cousin to buy me a plan B pill, which i took about 32 hours after. A day later, everytime I wiped myself, there was blood, so i searched that up and got scared of implantation bleeding and thus stress began. On August 3rd, I want to say i started my period, but it was light and only lasted 3 days. My period was supposed to come on August 14th, but never came. Then on Sept. 1, i got my period, i think, i don't know, and it was also light. On September 4, i took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I was alittle relieved but then I got scared again from looking up women who didn't know they were pregnant/false negatives. So i took another test on September 15th, which was negative, but then i checked back on it four days later and there was a very very faint line. So i freaked out and called my friend and right away we went to buy a digital one on September 19, which also came out as negative (if i was pregnant i would've been 7 weeks), then on September 25th, i got , i want to say, my period which was a medium flow with clots, but me being me, i got scared and searched that up and saw ladies that were pregnant experienced vaginal bleeding with clots. Right now It's October,7, which i would be 11 weeks. I am experiencing cramping on my left abdominal side and bloating and headaches. Ya know i'm really scared and i have no one to talk too because i cant go to my mother because she would literally kill me lol. Also my lifestyle is that i drink caffefine almost everyday, i workout 4x a week, both cardio and heavy lifting, i've been having migraines so i started taking advil. Ever since the situation i haven't been able to eat because i've been to stressed/anxious, and i lost 15 pounds, also when i was 13-15, i would always get waves of nausea from anxiety and throw up my food and also my doctors thinks I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome :/// i don't know maybe you guys can help me, please tell me those three times were my period and not scary random spotting/implantation bleeding. (also on sept. 25th my blood started as dark brown but later turned red then back to brown) I have my first OBGYN appointment on Monday (Oct 9) to check my cyst i have on my right ovary :( but please please help me ease my worries

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

For help dealing with a scare (including what poses a risk and your next steps based on your unique situation), you may use our tool on site built for this purpose: The Pregnancy Panic Companion.
